Good afternoon. Rhode Island. I'm Michael Mosby.

Step outside right now and you'll feel that damp chill. 37 degrees with fog hugging the ground. But here's the twist — this is the coldest it'll be all day. By this afternoon, we're soaring to 67 degrees. That's 21 degrees above normal for early March, folks. Spring is making a serious statement.

The fog burns off by mid-morning as sunshine takes over. Providence hits 67 around 3 P.M. With light south winds. Down along Narragansett Bay, that ocean influence keeps you cooler — topping out at 54 degrees with mostly sunny skies. Still pleasant, just not the warmth inland sees.

Tonight, temperatures drop back to the mid-30s under mostly clear skies. Patchy fog develops again after midnight, especially near the coast.

Tuesday delivers even more warmth — near record territory. Providence climbs to 69 degrees under full sunshine. Morning fog clears by 10 A.M. The Bay stays cooler at 56, but that's still well above normal. We're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight each day now. And you can feel it.

Wednesday brings clouds and a slight chance of rain as temperatures ease back to the 50s. Thursday turns unsettled — rain likely with gusty winds and highs in the mid-50s. Behind that system, cold air crashes back in. Thursday night could see a brief changeover to snow before clearing. Friday stays chilly in the low 40s with a slight chance of mixed precipitation. The weekend looks unsettled with temperatures bouncing between the mid-40s and upper 30s, plus more chances for rain and snow showers.

Enjoy this remarkable warmth today and tomorrow — winter's not done yet.

See you this evening.

Good morning. Rhode Island. I'm Michael Mosby.

If you step outside right now, you might walk straight into patchy fog. But here's the thing. Once the sun burns through by mid-morning, you're in for something special. Providence hits 67 degrees today. That's 21 degrees above normal for early March. Spring is crashing the party early.

Down along Narragansett Bay, the ocean keeps things cooler — you'll top out at 54. But push inland and you're climbing into the upper 60s. Light south breezes, mostly sunny skies. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me.

Tonight stays mild. Lows drop to 35 in Providence, 36 near the bay. That patchy fog rolls back in after 2 A.M., so if you're an early riser Tuesday, expect some haze greeting you.

Tuesday cranks up the heat even more. We're talking near-record territory — 69 degrees in Providence, 56 along the coast. Full sunshine. South winds stay light. With the spring equinox just 11 days away, you can feel the daylight stretching. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes a day now.

Wednesday clouds roll in with a slight chance of rain. Thursday brings the real action — rain likely, possibly heavy at times, with west winds gusting to 25. That's when temperatures crash. By Thursday night, we're talking 26 degrees with a chance of snow mixing in. Friday stays chilly in the low 40s with another round of rain and snow possible heading into the weekend.

Enjoy this spring preview while it lasts.

See you this afternoon.

morning Mon Mar 9th, 2026 Rhode Island weather update.

Good afternoon. Rhode Island. I'm Matt Mullins.

Step outside and you'll feel 49 degrees with fog hugging the coast. Damp, gray, a little gloomy. But here's the thing. We're about to flip the script completely.

Providence hits 57 degrees by 1 P.M. — that's 25 degrees above normal for early March. West winds at 8 miles an hour keep things comfortable. Down along Narragansett Bay, the ocean holds you back a touch — topping out at 52 with southwest winds at 12 miles an hour. Patchy drizzle lingers through mid-morning, then inland skies start breaking up. The coast? Stubbornly gray with fog possible into afternoon.

Tonight drops to 35 degrees statewide under partly cloudy skies. Perfect setup for what's coming.

Monday is the stunner. Sunny skies and southwest winds push Providence to 64 degrees. Even the Bay warms to 55 despite that ocean breeze. We're talking temperatures we haven't seen since last fall.

Here's your week ahead. Tuesday brings more sunshine and 63 degrees — another gorgeous day. Wednesday starts cloudy at 58, with rain developing after 8 P.M. Thursday's when things get messy. Rain likely with southwest winds gusting to 28 miles an hour. Rain could change to snow Thursday night as temperatures crash to 25 degrees. Friday clears out with highs near 43.

One more thing — spring forward tonight. You lose an hour of sleep, but we're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight every day now. Spring equinox is just 12 days away.

Enjoy the warmth while it lasts.

See you this evening.

Good morning. Rhode Island. I'm Michael Nally.

Step outside right now and you'll feel 49 degrees. That's 25 degrees warmer than normal for early March. Spring is knocking on the door. And tomorrow, we're letting it in.

Any leftover showers wrap up by mid-morning. Then patchy fog settles in, especially near the coast. Providence climbs to 57 this afternoon. Down along Narragansett Bay, that ocean breeze holds you back at 52. Southwest winds run around 8 to 14 miles an hour.

Tonight brings the setup for something special. Skies clear out and temperatures drop to 35 degrees statewide.

Monday is the star of the week. Sunshine takes over and Providence soars to 64 degrees. The Bay reaches 55, cooler thanks to that southerly flow off the water. We haven't seen warmth like this since last fall. Perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me.

Tuesday stays gorgeous — sunny with highs near 63. Wednesday brings clouds as a low pressure system approaches the Great Lakes. That pulls moisture overhead and holds us in the upper 50s.

Thursday is when things flip. Rain arrives with gusty winds — southwest gusts hit 28 miles an hour. Temperatures reach 57 before a cold front crashes through. Rain transitions to snow in the high terrain Thursday night as temperatures plunge to 25 degrees. Friday brings partly sunny skies and a high of 43. The weekend looks unsettled with a chance of rain and snow showers.

One more thing — don't forget to spring forward tonight. Clocks move ahead one hour for Daylight Saving Time. You'll lose an hour of sleep, but gain an hour of evening light.

See you this afternoon.

Good evening. Rhode Island. I'm Michael Nally.

Step outside this morning. And you'll feel that damp, clinging fog. It’s like walking through a cold cloud. Classic early March in New England. But don't let the gray skies fool you. We're stealing a page from spring today. Providence hits 59 degrees — that's a whopping 26 degrees above normal for this time of year.

Here comes the warmth. Fog hangs tough around Providence through the morning. You might see a few spotty showers tonight, but nothing widespread. Highs climb to 59 today before dropping back to 36 overnight. Sunday stays cloudy with a lingering chance of showers. But Monday? Sunshine returns. And temperatures soar to 66 degrees. You’ll want shorts for that.

Down along Narragansett Bay, the story’s a little different. Drizzle and fog dominate tonight, with lows hovering around 40 degrees. Sunday stays damp and cooler, topping out at 53 degrees. But like Providence, the bay warms dramatically by Monday — 58 degrees and sunny. Perfect for a midday stroll near the Newport Bridge if you ask me.

Looking ahead, this warm streak isn't a fluke. We're talking highs in the mid-60s for Providence by Tuesday. But there's a twist. By Thursday, a cold front sweeps through. Highs plummet back into the 40s. There's even a chance of snow mixing in Thursday night. Classic New England — spring teases us, then winter reminds us it's not done yet.

In One thing to watch, with all this warmth, snowmelt is accelerating. Rivers like the Pawcatuck could see minor flooding early in the week. Keep an eye on low-lying areas if you're near the water.

In Here's a fun note, we're gaining nearly three minutes of daylight every day now. Sunrise today at 6:12 A.M., sunset at 5:43 P.M. The spring equinox is just 13 days away — hang in there!

Charge your phone and grab that extra jacket tonight. See you tomorrow.

Good morning. Rhode Island. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you’ll feel that damp, clinging fog wrapping around the state like a wet blanket. We’re waking up to a world shrouded in gray, currently sitting at 36 degrees. But don’t let the quiet fool you—there's a fascinating weather reversal headed our way.

Here's the setup. Providence is already sitting at 50 degrees—that's 25 degrees warmer than usual for early March. A light south wind is trying to push the fog along, but it's stubborn. Down along Narragansett Bay. Here comes 46 degrees with that same gray soup clinging to the water. Winds are picking up a bit there, gusting to 12 miles an hour.

Tonight brings a plot twist. Rain chances arrive after 8 PM. But watch the thermometer—Providence drops to 41 this evening. Then climbs *back* to 50 by morning. That's right, we're losing the chill overnight. Down at the Bay, winds shift southwest and gust to 25 miles an hour, keeping you mild at 50 degrees by dawn.

Sunday feels like a true spring tease. Providence hits 61 degrees in the afternoon! you'll start with some rain and fog, but skies clear by lunch. The coast stays cooler with highs near 51, but that southwest breeze will make it feel nice. Don't get used to it though—Sunday night brings a crash, falling to 34 degrees in the city.

Looking ahead. Monday and Tuesday stay sunny and warm—highs in the 60s. Then reality checks in Wednesday and Thursday with rain and a tumble back into the 40s.

In One last thing—sunrise is at 6, 12 AM, sunset at 5:43 PM. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of light every single day. The spring equinox is just 13 days away.

See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Rhode Island. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That damp chill you felt this morning? that's classic early March in Rhode Island. We picked up a tenth of an inch of rain overnight. And temperatures flirted with freezing—bottoming out at 32 degrees in Providence and 34 along Narragansett Bay. But here's the twist. Spring is fighting back.

Down in the Providence area, that raw, damp air sticks around. Expect areas of drizzle and patchy fog through the morning. Winds shift from northeast to south around 6 A.M., finally pushing out some of that stubborn moisture. Don't put away the jacket just yet. Tonight brings another round of patchy fog and a slight chance of light rain after 8 P.M. Lows dip to 41 degrees, but here's the kicker—temperatures actually rise overnight. You'll be back up to 50 degrees by 1 A.M. As warm air surges in.

Over toward Narragansett Bay, the story is similar but windier. Highs only reach 46 degrees today. That's cooler than inland thanks to the ocean influence. South winds gust up to 12 miles an hour. Tonight, those winds crank up, gusting to 25 miles an hour. Rain chances sit at about 50 percent, but totals stay light. The bay wakes up Sunday to temperatures in the upper 30s, with fog lingering like an uninvited guest.

Looking ahead. Sunday brings a rollercoaster. Highs soar to 61 degrees in Providence and 51 along the bay, but with a catch. Gusty southwest winds hit 24 miles an hour, bringing more fog near the coast. Then the bottom drops out Sunday night. Lows plummet to 34 in Providence as a cold front sweeps through.

Monday and Tuesday deliver a real taste of early summer. Providence hits 58 on Monday, then 65 degrees on Tuesday—that's 20 degrees above normal for early March. Narragansett Bay warms to 50 and 55. But don't get too comfortable. By midweek, a backdoor cold front slides in, knocking us back to the 40s and 50s.

Mariners, take note. Small Craft Advisories are up for Narragansett Bay and Block Island Sound tonight through Sunday. Southwest winds gust to 30 miles an hour. Fog could drop visibility to under a mile.

In This freeze-thaw cycle is perfect for one thing, maple syrup. Local farms are in peak sugaring season, so if you see a bucket on a tree, you know the sap is running.

See you tomorrow. Take care

See you this afternoon.
