PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- It looks like we're in for a beautiful day Thursday. Enjoy it, since the weekend could be a washout, as the region could feel the impact of Tropical Storm Danny.
The temperature should reach a high near 78 degrees with a north wind of 9 mph. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
Wednesday night should be partly cloudy with a low of 55 degrees.
The state Emergency Management Agency warned Wednesday that Danny could bring heavy rain and coastal flooding to Rhode Island.
The weather service's National Hurricane Center reports that the center of Tropical Storm Danny has reformed about 575 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and the agency advises those living from the Carolinas to New England to monitor its progress.
It has maximum winds of 60 mph with stronger gusts and is moving northwest at 10 mph. Danny is expected to strengthen over the next couple of days and become a hurricane.
"The official forecast is shifted eastward because of the center reformation and the good track model agreement," the weather service says, adding that."any significant deviation to the west of the forecast track would bring Danny closer to the U.S. East Coast. "
As Danny makes its way up the Atlantic Coast, the Coast Guard is advising paddle and small craft owners to secure their vessels and gear. Adrift, unmanned paddle craft such as canoes and kayaks, are considered a sign of distress and could result in a false search and rescue alarm.
Mariners are also asked to secure mooring lines, life rings, life jackets and any other items that could break free and cause damage.
"We are headed for some rough weather this weekend," Al Johnson, First Coast Guard District recreational boating safety specialist, said in a prepared statement. "Securing your vessels prior to the storm could save your property and allow the Coast Guard to be more effective on the water."
