Providence starts Columbus Day under cloudy skies and patchy fog, but the gloom should lift by late morning. Sunshine takes over through the afternoon, with temperatures climbing from the mid-50s to around 70 degrees.
Fog is expected to linger before 10 a.m., while rain chances remain minimal. North winds will stay light, making Monday the week’s easiest day for outdoor plans after a soggy Sunday.
Tuesday Brings Clouds And A Few Showers
Clouds return Tuesday, with a slight chance of rain showers after 2 p.m. The high should reach about 66 degrees, followed by a mild Tuesday night near 59 with a chance of showers before 11 p.m. and thunderstorms from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.
That timing is a notable shift from the heavier holiday-period rain setup outlined in Hoodline’s Sunday forecast. Any Tuesday night rainfall is expected to be light, with less than a tenth of an inch possible.
Sunshine Returns Before A Sharper Late-Week Turn
Wednesday looks like a mix of clouds and sun, and warmer, with a high near 73, before Thursday turns partly sunny and cooler with a high around 63. A late-night shower chance develops Thursday night, setting up a wetter Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday has likely rain showers, while its aviation outlook gives local gusts up to 30 knots (about 35 mph). Showers remain likely Friday night, and a stronger storm is expected Friday into Saturday.
Cold Nights Arrive By The Weekend
Saturday night could fall to around 35 degrees, so the first real jacket weather of the season may arrive by the weekend. Sunday is expected to rebound slightly under sunny skies, with a high near 53 and a low around 40 Sunday night.
