Providence, RI – Prepare for wet pavement and a rumble of thunder in Providence as Rhode Island faces scattered showers and thunderstorms Monday, July 14th. Commuters on I-95 should watch for changing road conditions, especially during the afternoon hours. Temperatures will climb to the mid-80s, but clouds and rain will keep humidity high and skies unsettled.
According to the National Weather Service, showers will begin Monday morning, with a slight chance of thunderstorms developing after 5 p.m. Rain will be hit or miss, but any storm could bring brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and lightning. Drivers should slow down on area roads, especially I-95, and stay alert for sudden changes in visibility. If thunder roars, head indoors and avoid outdoor activities until storms pass.
Tuesday looks drier, with partly sunny skies and highs near 87°F, but don’t let your guard down—humidity sticks around and more storms are set to return late Wednesday into Thursday. Thunderstorms could hit after 4 p.m. Thursday, raising the risk of slick roads, travel delays, and localized power outages. Keep cell phones charged and have a backup plan for outdoor events.
Hot, summerlike weather continues through the end of the week, with highs pushing near 89°F by Friday. Each day brings a chance of scattered thunderstorms, so stay weather-aware. This pattern may linger into the weekend, making it important to monitor updates from the NWS.
Warnings remain in effect as storm chances persist. Plan ahead for delays and stay tuned for further advisories.
