Providence, RI – Rhode Island residents should prepare for a wet start to the week, as rain showers are expected on Monday. Forecasts predict a high of 65°F, with a 50% chance of precipitation, which may impact the Monday morning and evening commutes, especially on major roadways like I-95.

Saturday will continue the pleasant trend with mostly sunny skies and a high of 73°F, though temperatures will dip to 50°F overnight. By Sunday, skies will clear again, with a high near 68°F. However, cooler weather and rain showers on Monday may make outdoor plans more difficult.
