Coastal Waters Remain Rougher
While Providence stays quiet on land, marine conditions remain more challenging near Rhode Island’s coast as the offshore system moves away. Boaters should check current marine alerts before heading out. The National Weather Service’s Rhode Island Sound forecast provides marine updates.
The marine forecast ties the lingering roughness to Subtropical Storm Josephine tracking northeast into the North Atlantic, while strong high pressure builds over southern New England. The system’s departure is expected to ease conditions: the National Weather Service forecasts lighter winds and more favorable marine conditions Saturday into early next week, although rough seas are expected to linger through Friday. The Rhode Island Sound forecast carries that outlook.
Hoodline’s earlier Providence weather report also forecast frost Saturday and Sunday mornings, while a prolonged dry stretch is expected.
