Providence is waking up to clear skies and a chilly start Wednesday, with temperatures near 39 degrees before a fast warm-up. The city should reach about 63 degrees under sunny skies, making the morning cold snap feel more like a brief opening act than the main event. Southwest winds will stay light to moderate through the afternoon.
Sunny Stretch Builds Through Saturday
Wednesday night will remain mostly clear, with temperatures falling to around 53 degrees. Thursday brings the warmest day of the workweek, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 72; southwest winds could gust as high as 21 mph.
Friday and Saturday look comfortable and dry, with sunshine and highs near 67 and 68 degrees, respectively. Overnight lows will dip into the mid-to-upper 40s, so early risers may still want a jacket even as afternoons turn pleasantly mild.
Weekend Starts Dry Before Rain Chances Rise
Sunday could turn cloudy, with showers possible. A slight chance of showers could develop late Sunday night, mainly after 4 a.m.
Columbus Day on Monday could bring rain. The latest National Weather Service forecast points to an increasing chance of unsettled weather Sunday or Monday.
Tuesday Brings A Quieter Reset
Tuesday should be partly sunny with a high near 67, although a slight chance of showers could develop after 2 p.m. The updated Sunday-and-Monday rain threat is a wetter turn from Hoodline’s earlier Providence forecast, so outdoor plans for the second half of the long weekend may need a backup option.
