Providence, RI – After a week of clouds and scattered storms, Rhode Island will step into a bright, mild stretch starting Friday, offering one of the most comfortable weekends of August. Temperatures will top out near 81°F Friday under mostly sunny skies, with light northwest winds keeping humidity in check.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday’s unsettled weather will give way to calmer conditions overnight, setting the stage for clear skies Friday morning. From downtown Providence to Narragansett and Newport, roads will be dry and skies will stay bright, creating ideal conditions for commuting, beach days, and late-summer events.
Saturday will see highs near 83°F with wall-to-wall sunshine, and Sunday will bring even warmer temperatures, reaching 88°F, perfect for backyard barbecues or a final summer trip to the coast. Evening lows will hover in the low to mid-60s, making for pleasant overnight conditions without the need for heavy air conditioning.
With this three-day sunny stretch expected to hold through late Sunday, Rhode Islanders can take advantage of prime outdoor conditions before humidity and rain chances return early next week.
