Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. That 16-degree wake-up call might have you reaching for an extra layer. but don't let the cold start fool you. Today turns into something beautiful. In the next 24 hours. We're looking at wall-to-wall sunshine across Rhode Island. Providence climbs to 43 degrees this afternoon. Down along Narragansett Bay, expect a high near 40 degrees. That's about 11 degrees above normal for late February. Light southwest winds at 1 to 5 miles an hour make it feel pleasant. Tonight stays mostly clear. Lows dip to around 24 degrees in Providence. The Bay area settles near 25. A quiet end to the work week. Saturday is the pick of your weekend. Patchy fog early, then sunshine takes over. Providence hits 50 degrees. The Bay reaches 45. Get outside if you can. Because Sunday changes everything. A cold front sweeps through with a chance of light snow. Maybe a coating to an inch. Then Arctic air plunges in. Sunday night lows crash into the teens. Monday struggles to reach 26 degrees under partly sunny skies. Your five-day outlook shows a temperature roller coaster. Warm Saturday. Snowy and cold Sunday. Frigid Monday. Then a gradual rebound. By midweek, we're back in the upper 30s to low 40s. A chance of rain and snow returns Tuesday night into Wednesday. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight today. The spring equinox is just three weeks away. Winter still has some fight left. but spring is gaining ground. Providence hits 43 today, 50 tomorrow, then 38 Sunday with that snow chance. Tonight's low is 24. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
