Today!

Computer is back in business... for now anyway!

It's been a cloudy, cloudy day for Providence, current Temperature is at 78°. This is actually the first day of "relief" or lower temperatures that we've seen in awhile. Looking at the dew points though, you would never know it. Dewpoints for Providence and most of RI are in the upper 60's to the 70's which would certainly put us in the "oppressive" range in terms of discomfort from humidity. But when you go outside you just do not feel it! The clouds have certainly had something to do with the reason behind all that.

Overnight temperatures will get a little cooler to upper 60's to low 70's. But tomorrow will certainly warm up to upper 80 degree temperatures, we may continue to stay dry but we can't rule out a shower or spot thunderstorm for later on into Friday evening or over the next two days for that matter. There are a few disturbances going on in the Great Lakes Region causing a lot of severe weather for that area, but if it continues to move into our area we only need to expect a spot shower or thunderstorm, nothing too major. Hopefully things will stay to the North of our area to make it a dry weekend.

Mild will definitely be the trend over the next couple of days. Overnight lows will be in the upper 70's which is not necessarily ideal for night time. We may even see yet another heat wave in our area if the temperature reaches 90° for Tomorrow. We are calling for 94° on Saturday because of that West, Southwest wind that we will experience, and on Sunday the high should be about 92. So, will we see another heat wave? The forecasted temperature for tomorrow is just slight of 90 at 89°, so we shall see!

Update in the Tropics

There is an area off the coast of Africa right now that the National Weather Service is looking at in terms of possible tropical cyclonic formation. However, right now it's not too much to look at, they are only calling for a 10% chance of this. But it is important to make mention of that fact that we have currently broken out of El Nino conditions and now there is the talk of La Nina. La Nina makes for good conditions in terms of tropical weather and Hurricanes, and that's just what we have been calling for from the beginning. So expect a lot of active tropical weather to come!
