Providence is waking up to clear skies and a chilly start Tuesday, with temperatures around 45 degrees before sunshine pushes the city to near 61. North winds will make it feel brisk, running 10 to 14 mph with gusts up to 25 mph, but rain is not on Tuesday's menu.
According to the National Weather Service, skies should stay sunny through the afternoon as north winds run 10 to 14 mph. Temperatures fall to around 45 Tuesday night under partly cloudy skies, with northeast winds continuing at 7 to 12 mph.
Wednesday Turns Cooler And Breezier
Wednesday brings partly sunny skies, a high near 55 and northeast winds gusting up to 25 mph. The offshore nor'easter will keep the most unsettled weather east of Providence, although a few showers could reach eastern Rhode Island and coastal areas late Wednesday into early Thursday.
The latest outlook is a meaningful update from Monday's forecast, with a sunnier Tuesday and a cooler Wednesday now expected. The broader setup remains similar to Hoodline's earlier forecast: the storm should remain offshore, limiting major impacts on land.
Rough Water, Mostly Quiet Streets
Providence itself has no land watches, warnings or advisories in the forecast, but boaters should take the marine alerts seriously. Gale Warnings and Small Craft Advisories are posted for portions of nearby waters, where northeast winds could reach 30 to 40 knots and waves may build well above 10 feet offshore.
Cool Friday Before The Weekend Rebounds
Thursday should be mostly sunny with a high near 62, followed by a cooler Friday near 53 and a low around 37 Friday night. The weekend looks much easier for outdoor plans, with sunny highs near 58 Saturday and 64 Sunday before temperatures climb to about 67 Monday.
