Here in the Weather Center at ABC6 we are once again tracking some thunderstorms on the radar. One of the convective cells that we kept an eye on for the Northern RI, especially Woonsocket area proved to produce rainfall rates of almost 4in. per hour! Thats a lot of rain!
We are currently at a temperature of 83° in Providence, but the humidity is just gross. It feels more like 93° and earlier it felt like 97°! Once again we have winds coming out of the West/Southwest at about 10mph. For the rest of the evening there will indeed be some chances of showers and thunderstorms so stay tuned to ABC6 for the latest updates! The storms should be gone by about 10pm this evening but we cannot exactly rule that out just yet.
For the rest of the weekend forecast into the beginning of next week,
we are looking at Friday to have a chance at showers once again. Yesterday we were calling for drier air on the way to our area, but now it looks as if we might be getting a few pop up showers here and there. Best chance for that around noon into the afternoon hours tomorrow. A high of about 87° for tomorrow with a wind shift from today. Winds will be out of the Northwest at about 7-10mph once again. As the evening rolls in, the overnight lows should dip into the mid 60's. This will be because of that dry air mass thats going to move into our area. Because of this drier air, the weekend will stay dry as well, with some relief from the heat.
On Saturday, we are looking to start of the day cooler, with temperatures in the lowers 60's. The day will continue to stay dry and nice with a high of about 80°.
The drier air associated with that high pressure system will continue to dominate our area into Sunday as well. A high of about 82° with a light breeze coming out of the South/Southwest.
Do not get too used to the dry weather though, by Monday we may have a chance at a spot shower or thunderstorm once again. Nothing too severe however, things should clear up and just be partly cloudy on Tuesday. The beginning of the week will bring about temperatures in the mid 80's.
