Providence, R.I. – A soggy Saturday night could put a damper on weekend plans across Rhode Island, with showers and patchy fog expected after dark. Drivers along I-95 should prepare for reduced visibility and slick roads beginning late Saturday through early Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, thunderstorms could arrive after 2 p.m. Saturday, with rain more likely after 10 p.m. A light south wind will keep conditions humid, and patchy fog may persist into Sunday morning. While Saturday starts off mostly sunny with a high near 83°F, weather turns unsettled by evening.
Sunday will feel more like early fall. Once morning clouds and fog lift, skies clear up with highs near 71°F and a refreshing northwest breeze. It’ll be noticeably cooler overnight, dipping into the low 50s—great for open windows but a reminder that summer’s grip is slipping.
If you’re headed out to enjoy Friday night events, skies stay mostly clear with temps in the upper 60s. No rain is expected until well after midnight Saturday. Keep outdoor plans for Saturday flexible, especially if they’re in the evening hours.
