Providence is headed for a bright but breezy Monday, with temperatures climbing to the upper 60s before a noticeably colder stretch settles in. Early conditions are mostly cloudy and near 57 degrees, but skies should clear as the day unfolds.

Afternoon Winds Pick Up

Monday’s high is expected to reach about 67 degrees, with west winds increasing through the afternoon and gusts up to 25 mph. Rain is not expected, making for a dry but somewhat blustery day for errands, commutes and outdoor plans.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for clear skies Monday night and a low near 44 degrees. Winds will remain west at 6 to 10 mph, with occasional gusts reaching roughly 23 mph.

Chilly Tuesday, Warmer By Thursday

Tuesday will bring full sunshine but a cooler high near 58 degrees, followed by another clear night with temperatures falling to around 41. Wednesday should rebound slightly to 64 degrees, while Thursday looks like the warmest day of the week at about 71.

The mostly dry pattern continues into the weekend, with sunny or mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s. A slight chance of rain showers may arrive late Sunday night, mainly after 4 a.m., but Providence otherwise has a calm and increasingly fall-like forecast ahead.
