Today's Forecast

82°
58°

Tuesday recap: Large hail up to 1" in diameter (Southbridge, MA), lightning strikes (Taunton) and heavy downpours (3.70" rain in Southbridge, MA) occurred across parts of the area, but Providence remained unscathed for the most part. The capital city did pick up some rain (0.20") with some passing thunderstorms, and the high at T.F. Green (88°) nearly broke a record!

Wednesday looks hazy, warm and sticky, with morning fog. A pop-up t-storm is possible during the day. Highs should reach the upper 70s to lower 80s away from the coast. There is a chance of a passing t-shower on Wednesday night, with balmy lows in the lower 60s.

Thursday will be windy, warm and humid with scattered t-showers and highs in the mid 70s. It will remain mostly cloudy on Friday with still the chance of showers and highs in the lower to mid 70s.

A slight chance of showers Saturday, with highs in the mid to upper 60s.

Sunny and very nice Sunday and Monday Memorial Day with highs near 70.
