    Blizzard Warning | Rhode Island Weather 6 PM
    Feb 23 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. Welcome to the Rhode Island Weather Podcast for Monday, February 23rd. Folks, this blizzard means business. Over eight inches of snow in the last 24 hours. And it's not done yet. You're sitting at 28 degrees right now with moderate snow still falling. We're under a Blizzard Warning until 7 A.M. Tuesday. The worst punch has landed. But the storm's still swinging. Heavy snow bands are rolling through. And the wind.. The wind is something else. Along Narragansett Bay, gusts are hitting 40 miles an hour. Providence is catching 37. Visibility is dropping below a quarter mile at times. That's white knuckle driving. Actually, that's don't drive at all territory. Snow tapers off around 7 P.M. Tonight. The wind sticks around though, shifting northwest. You'll want to keep those curtains drawn tight. Another one to three inches could sneak in before this thing finally wraps up. Tonight's lows hit 20 degrees in Providence. Near the Bay, 22 degrees. But step outside and you're feeling 11 degrees in the city. Ten degrees along the coast. That's the kind of cold that finds every zipper gap in your jacket. Tomorrow.. Finally.. Sunshine. Mostly sunny skies with highs near 30 degrees statewide. Grab a shovel and enjoy the quiet. Because here's the plot twist. Wednesday brings another round of snow. Then mixed precipitation Thursday and Friday. This week is a weather obstacle course. The silver lining? Saturday warms to 44 degrees. Almost feels tropical after what we just survived. If your power's still on, consider yourself lucky tonight. Charge everything. Fill a thermos. Keep the flashlights close. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!

    Blizzard Warning | Rhode Island Weather Noon
    Feb 23 2026
    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Rhode Island Weather Podcast. It's Monday, February 23rd.. And folks, this is a full blown blizzard. Nearly six inches of snow has already piled up. Three and a half of those fell in just the last six hours. And it's still hammering down. A Blizzard Warning covers the entire state until 7 A.M. Tuesday. You'll want to hear how this breaks down regionally. In Providence, heavy snow and blowing snow continue through 7 P.M. The worst punch lands around 11 A.M. With two to three inches per hour. Winds are howling north at 21 to 32 miles an hour, gusting to 55 miles an hour. That's whiteout territory. You're seeing temps struggle to hit 30 degrees before crashing to 20 degrees by early Tuesday. Another three to seven inches on top of what's already down. Now swing over toward Narragansett Bay. It's even nastier. Winds screaming 25 to 36 miles an hour with gusts hitting 58 miles an hour. That's borderline hurricane force. Heavy snow flies until 6 P.M. With three to five more inches expected. Highs barely touch 32 degrees before dropping to 23 degrees overnight. The real villain today isn't the snow. It's the wind. Gusts to 58 miles an hour along the coast can snap trees and shred power lines. If you're not already home.. Get there. This is a hunker down storm. Tonight the snow tapers. Winds stay gusty. Lows settle near 20 degrees. The week ahead tells an interesting story. Tuesday brings sunshine and 31 degrees. Your one calm day to dig out. Wednesday flips the script. Snow changes to rain with highs near 39 degrees. Thursday and Friday hover in the low 40s with a rain and snow mix. Then the weekend finally dries out. Mid 40s. Almost pleasant. Keep your flashlights close and your phones charged tonight. Power outages are a real possibility. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

We're talking two to three inches per hour. That's the kind of snowfall where you shovel, blink. And it looks like you never started. Heavy snow continues through 6 P.M. Tonight before tapering to lighter showers overnight. Providence sees 9 to 13 inches total. Temperatures touched 30 degrees around 5 A.M. But they're crashing to 20 degrees tonight. Wind gusts hit 55 miles an hour, making it feel like 11 degrees this morning. Your face will hate you. Down along Narragansett Bay.. This is where it gets scary.

Keep those flashlights close and phones charged. Now the week ahead tells quite a story. Tuesday dawns brutally cold. Providence drops to 11 degrees overnight. But you'll get sunshine for digging out. Then Wednesday flips everything. Temperatures rocket to 39 degrees and snow turns to rain. That's a 40 degree swing in 48 hours. Messy refreezing follows.

    Feb 23 2026
    Good evening! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Rhode Island Weather Podcast for Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A blockbuster blizzard is bearing down on Rhode Island tonight. And it's going to be one for the history books. The National Weather Service is calling it extreme to destructive. They're not exaggerating. Right now you're seeing 34 degrees under gray skies. Feels calm. Almost peaceful. That changes fast. Light snow starts around 5 PM. Don't let it fool you. That's just the opening act. By 7 PM, this storm explodes. Here's what you need to brace for. Over in Providence, heavy snow and blowing snow take hold by 10 PM. Winds crank to 29 miles an hour, gusting near 46. You're looking at 9 to 13 inches by dawn. Visibility drops to almost nothing. Down along Narragansett Bay, it's even worse. Winds hit 37 miles an hour with gusts screaming to 54. Snow piles to 10 to 14 inches. Thundersnow is possible. Lightning and snow at the same time. That's how angry this storm gets. Monday is the peak. Additional snow pushes totals higher with gusts reaching 60 miles an hour. Trees come down. Power lines come down. Travel becomes impossible. Coastal flooding threatens around 2 AM Monday with storm surges of 2 to 3 feet. If you're near the shore, move inland tonight. Monday night, temperatures plummet to 17 degrees near the bay and 20 degrees in Providence. Looking beyond the blizzard, Tuesday brings sunshine but brutal cold. Highs barely crack the low 30s. Lows near 11 degrees. Frostbite territory. Wednesday sneaks in some light snow and rain near 39 degrees. Thursday and Friday slowly climb into the low 40s with a rain and snow mix lingering. Saturday finally delivers sunshine and 44 degrees. You'll want to throw a parade. Charge every device you own tonight. Fill your bathtub with water. Have blankets and a backup heat source ready. This isn't a drill. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care. And please stay put tonight.

    Rhode Island Weather: 02-22-2026
    Feb 22 2026
    Good afternoon! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Rhode Island Weather Podcast. It's Sunday, February 22nd. Folks, I'm not going to sugarcoat this. A historic blizzard is heading straight for Rhode Island tonight. And it could rank among the top five snowstorms Providence has ever seen. We're talking 18 to 25 inches statewide. This is the real deal. Right now you're enjoying a deceptively calm 37 degrees in Providence. Soak that in. By tonight, everything changes. Snow starts falling along the coast around 7 PM. Inland areas see it by 8. Then between 11 PM and 11 AM Monday, this storm detonates. Snowfall rates hit 2 to 4 inches per hour. Winds scream to 60, even 70 miles an hour. Whiteout conditions. The kind of storm where you literally can't see your mailbox. Providence crashes to 27 degrees tonight with 10 to 14 inches piling up. Wind gusts hit 55 miles an hour. By 4 AM, wind chills plunge to minus 15. That's frostbite territory in minutes. Down along Narragansett Bay, it's even wilder. Seven to 11 inches of snow, but gusts reach 60 miles an hour by Monday morning. Tonight's high tide at 11:38 PM brings 3 to 4 feet of storm surge. Low lying areas from Warwick to Newport face moderate coastal flooding. Travel becomes impossible tonight. Not difficult. Impossible. Roads will be buried. Power outages are likely when those hurricane force winds snap trees and down lines. Grab flashlights, charge everything. And fill your bathtub with water now. This storm is undergoing bombogenesis. By Monday morning, it could be one of the strongest systems ever recorded near New England. Monday dumps another 6 to 10 inches with gusts still over 50 miles an hour. Tuesday we dig out under sunny skies, but lows near 12 degrees make it brutal work. Wednesday and Thursday bring light snow chances, but nothing remotely close to this monster. Check on your neighbors tonight. Seriously. Especially anyone living alone. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care, everyone.

Gusts reaching 51 miles an hour. You're looking at 7 to 11 inches by Monday morning, with another 15 to 21 possible through Monday. Coastal flooding is a real concern during Monday's early morning high tide. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Monday is a snow day, plain and simple. Travel will be nearly impossible. Tuesday clears out but stays brutal. Highs in the low 30s, lows plunging to 12 degrees. Wednesday brings a slight chance of light snow with highs near 37. Thursday warms to 41 with possible showers.
