Alex hit land as a Category 2 Hurricane, but now it has dissipated to just a tropical storm.. The main focus in here today is the 4th of July Forecast and he possible heat wave that will come of it.

---------------------------------------------

Today was a lot like Yesterday. Dry and comfy with temperatures in the mid 70's, the high today in Providence proved to be 74. Tonight things will stay comfy for the most part with temperatures falling once again into the mid 50's overnight. We also saw a pretty breezy day today with winds around 12mph. Overnight the winds will die down a little to about 6mph coming from the North/Northwest.

For Friday, a Northerly wind, once again making the day pretty breezy with wind speeds of about 8-11mph, as the evening rolls around the winds will become variable between 2-6mph. Temperatures should warm up a little to about mid to upper 70's, for a low, mid 60's.

On Saturday our "warm up" begins, temperatures will reach about 84degrees on this day, the SW winds will vary between 6-12mph may become a bit gusty at times.

And for the forecast everyone has been waiting for, the 4th of July. And yes, everyone will get what they wish for on the 4th (a cookout day!). Temperatures will hit the lower 90's for sure, a little cooler towards the coast, so a little relief to the heat for the Bristol Parade. There will be a Westerly wind of about 9mph.. So everyone enjoy the holiday!

Sunday will only be the beginning for a Heat Wave to be experienced in RI as well as all the way down to the Mid-Atlantic States. Expect Temperatures on Monday in RI to be about 93. Tuesday will really heat up to about 95, and Thursday 94
