Warwick, Rhode Island – Unsettled weather takes aim at Rhode Island Thursday, July 10th, as commuters and travelers along I-95 should brace for morning showers, patchy fog, and a possible thunderstorm. This summer weather alert comes as residents head out for work and errands, with wet pavement and reduced visibility likely after 8 a.m. Those traveling through the Warwick area or around Rhode Island TF Green International Airport (KPVD) should plan extra time and avoid sudden stops.
According to the National Weather Service, rain chances peak Thursday with a 70% chance of showers, especially after 8 a.m., followed by a thunderstorm threat during the afternoon. Patchy fog will linger through the early morning, and roads like I-295, Route 37, and local streets may become slick. Calm winds shift from the east around 6 mph later in the day, keeping conditions humid. New rainfall amounts could reach up to half an inch, enough to cause puddling and minor flooding in low-lying spots.
Friday brings a break, with only a slight chance of storms and a warmer high near 81°F. Sunshine makes a comeback Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the low to mid-80s and only a few clouds in the sky. That means perfect weather for outdoor plans across Cranston, Providence, and Newport—but don’t forget sunscreen and hydration as temperatures climb next week. Monday and Tuesday push even higher, topping out near 89°F by Tuesday.
Stay weather-aware and plan for changing conditions Thursday morning, but look forward to a bright summer weekend. More updates will follow if weather advisories are issued.
