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.

Motorists are encouraged to allow extra time for their commute and ensure windshield wipers and tires are in good condition ahead of the rain.
The rest of the week will see more favorable weather. Thursday will be mostly sunny, with highs around 71°F, followed by partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 50s Thursday night. Friday is expected to be sunny and warm, with a high of 75°F, making it perfect for outdoor activities.
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.
