Heavy rain bears down on RI, bringing risk of dangerous flooding

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts with the region likely to see heavy rainfall into Saturday, November 7, according to the weather service. "Periods of heavy rain today through Saturday morning may result in an area of 2 to 4 inches of rainfall across RI and Southeast MA, with a low risk (less than 30 percent) of isolated amounts of 5 to 6 inches," the flood watch says. "Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations," it says. "Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris." "You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop," the alert says.

Providence Place bans kids under 18 from mall without an adult

PROVIDENCE – Children − that is, anyone under age 18 − are no longer allowed in Providence Place without an adult to supervise them, under new rules issued by the new group that owns the mall. Until the new rules were announced on Nov. 5, children had been largely, but not completely, banned from the mall without a 21-or-over escort, under rules enacted while the mall was in receivership. Providence Place, when it was in receivership, largely banned unaccompanied children from the mall, with two major exceptions: They were allowed from the end of school until 5 p.m. on weekdays, a two- to three-hour window, and on weekends, before 5 p.m. Those initial rules were enacted in March 2025. Children ages 6 to 16 are totally banned from the mall during school hours "unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian," a higher standard than the ban on children without a 21-or-over chaperone, according to the new policy. "All guests should be prepared to show valid identification (with picture and date of birth) such as a driver'slicense, state identification card, military ID, passport or visa," according to the "parental escort policy." Signs explaining the lengthy policy and "behavior code" have
