Well the Heat Wave only lasted 4 days, which gave us some relief, but it is still pretty muggy out there for most of RI. The temperature is currently at 84 in Providence but with the heat index, Providence and most of RI is feeling temperatures in the upper 80's rather than the lower to mid 80's that the actual temperatures are. Right now we are experiencing winds coming out of the South Southwest at about 10mph.
Although the Temperature for Providence is currently at 84°,
The Heat Index shows that it feels like 88°. The Heat Index takes
into account the Temperature and the Dew Point/Humidity Levels
in order to determine what it really "feels like" out there.

The Tropical update consists of Tropical Depression 2 (TD2) which is located slightly inland over the Texas/Mexico boarder. TD2 has winds of about 35mph and gusts of 40. The track of this Tropical Depression is currently moving Northwest at about 15mph. However, I do not foresee the strength of TD2 lasting much longer as it has already hit land and should soon dissipate.
