Rhode Island Weather: 02-21-2026

Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Rhode Island Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 24th. Folks, here's the deal. Rhode Island is giving us absolutely nothing to worry about today. And honestly? That feels like a gift. Step outside right now and you'll feel 37 degrees in Providence. Same along Narragansett Bay. Light northeast winds barely nudging 5 to 6 miles an hour. The kind of breeze that doesn't even mess up your hair. Air quality is solid, so if you've been cooped up all week, this's your window. Get out there. Walk the dog twice. The dog deserves it. Sunrise painted the sky at 6:34 this morning. Sunset rolls in at 5:27 tonight. That's almost three more minutes of daylight than yesterday. You'll want to soak that up. Down in Newport, low tide hits at 3:37 this afternoon. Then the water climbs to 3.8 feet just before 11 tonight. Here's the thing. No snow. No rain. No wind drama. Just a quiet late winter pause. Highs hold in the upper 30s, right where February should be. Tonight you're dipping to the upper 20s. Chilly, but nothing that'll freeze your pipes. Now here's your heads up for the week ahead. This calm pattern sticks around through Monday. Temperatures start creeping upward by midweek. We might flirt with 40 degrees by Wednesday or Thursday. Nothing dramatic, but it's spring whispering from around the corner. Enjoy the quiet while it lasts. February in Rhode Island doesn't stay boring for long. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share the podcast with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps us going, and we appreciate every single listen. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
