Cold and Windy Weather Today: Expect a Mainly Dry Weekend

Bracing for the Frosty Friday

Well, here we are folks, December 6th, 2024, and the cold has decided to pay us a visit with a delightful gust of wind.

As you step out of your cozy nest this Friday morning, together with the chill, you’ll likely notice your cheeks attaining that classic rosy hue.

Puffy jackets and scarves are the fashion statement of the day as we brace against a frigid breeze that just can’t seem to take a day off.

Even if you’re plotting a quick escape to the corner store, those wind gusts are bound to make your brief excursion feel like an adventure to the Arctic.

Luckily, our woes are slightly eased by the saving grace of the day, the sun, although it’s putting on a rather shy performance, hidden behind the atmospheric curtains of chilliness.

And What About That Promised Snow?

Don’t be too quick to pack away your snow boots and sleds!

The weekend in Rhode Island might bring us a light dusting of snow, enough to make everything look freshly powdered and ready for Instagram yet again.

There’s a whisper of some snowfall potentially late Saturday into Sunday, providing just enough chance for those mid-afternoon hot cocoa moments while watching the flakes fall gently outside your window.

Unlike our usual winter forecasts, where we tightly grip our steering wheels and brace for impact, this weekend’s snow is expected to be more of an ambient character player in our weekend designs.

So update your weather apps, keep an eye on the skies, and get ready to enjoy what could be an almost picturesque wintery sight without the usual stress of slushy roads and windshields you can’t see out of.

What to Look Forward to Next Week?

If you’re already counting down the days to Monday, you’re in luck.

The temperatures are set to make a delightful turn towards the milder side, leaving those biting winds and icicle-laden eaves behind for a moment.

It’s said that many start stacking up on delightful winter warmers like fluffy socks and earmuffs only to realize that with a bit of mildness, they’re suddenly over-prepared.

Yet, don’t let your guard down too soon; New England’s winter isn’t known for its predictability, after all.

Relish the fact that you’ll soon be able to break free from the multi-layer cocoon and maybe just wear a good sweater as things start to even out.

That might even mean planning some outdoor strolls; check out our list of the best trails around Rhode Island to keep your spirits high on these walks!

A steaming cup from one of Rhode Island’s best caffeine hubs is just the ticket for any chilly day adventure.

Staying indoors doesn’t have to be dreary with so many activities to partake in.

Whether it’s planning to conquer the latest Netflix series, tackling a winter read, or indulging in some baking bliss, there’s no shortage of ways to embrace the coziness.
