Providence is starting Saturday with clear skies and temperatures near the freezing mark before sunrise, but bright sunshine will push the afternoon high close to 60 degrees. The tradeoff is a chilly night ahead, with colder inland and sheltered spots vulnerable to frost while the city and immediate coast stay somewhat milder.
Sunny Saturday, Chilly Saturday Night
Saturday will remain sunny with a northwest wind generally 4 to 8 knots and no rain expected. After sunset, skies stay clear and temperatures fall to around 36 degrees, so gardeners may want to protect sensitive plants before the next cold start.
The National Weather Service expects another sunny day Sunday, with a high near 61 and a low around 39. Monday brings the warmest weather of the stretch, reaching about 68 degrees under sunny skies before cooler air returns.
Dry Pattern Holds Into Next Week
Rain is essentially absent from the Providence forecast through Wednesday, with Tuesday and Wednesday highs near 55 degrees. Tuesday night could dip to around 32, while Thursday and Friday rebound into the lower and upper 60s with only small rain chances.
Boaters Face Rougher Water Offshore
There are no land-based watches or warnings for Providence, but marine conditions remain a concern. Small Craft Advisories continue on portions of the outer waters through Saturday evening and early Sunday because seas may run 4 to 6 feet, even as winds near shore remain light.
