Providence is waking up to clear skies and a chilly start Tuesday, with temperatures around 48 degrees early and a brisk north wind adding some bite. The city should stay sunny and dry through the afternoon, topping out near 56 before another cold night sends temperatures down to about 36.
Dry Weather Holds, Then The Warmup Arrives
Wednesday keeps the sunshine going with a high near 58, while Thursday turns noticeably milder and reaches about 67. Friday is the week's big temperature plot twist: sunny skies and a high near 72, with a westerly flow and breezy conditions.
Halloween Looks Mostly Sunny
Saturday, Halloween, should be mostly sunny and comfortable by late-October standards, with a high near 62. The evening turns partly cloudy, with a low around 47, so costumes may need a layer more than an umbrella.
Showers Possible Later in the Outlook
Sunday remains partly sunny with a high near 63, though clouds build later. Periodic showers are possible later in the weekend and next week, but timing remains uncertain.
Quiet In Providence, Rougher Offshore
On land, no watches, warnings, or advisories are posted for Rhode Island. The National Weather Service says a Small Craft Advisory remains in effect until 2 p.m. Tuesday for portions of the coastal waters, where gusts should decrease by 12Z but seas will remain elevated at 3 to 5 feet through the afternoon.
The forecast is a sharper, more detailed update to Hoodline's earlier Providence report, especially for the late-week warmup and the small shower chance arriving after the weekend. For city walks, errands, and Halloween plans, the near-term outlook is simple: jacket mornings, sunglasses afternoons, and maybe an umbrella by Monday.
