What the National Weather Service wrote
In Providence at 12:35 PM EST a car was stuck in coastal flooding in a park area on River Rd next to Narragansett Bay.
The wider storm
A strong storm system moved up the Atlantic coast Sunday night into Monday, merging with a short wave trough exiting the northern Great Plains and taking the surface low west of southern New England. This brought strong southerly winds and coastal flooding to southern New England. This was a very impactful storm flooding roads, closing schools, knocking out power to 300,000 across MA, cancelling flights, and killing one man in southern New England.
