RI Weather Today, April 9, 2020
By Jack Donnelly, meteorologist
After an eerily quiet and cloud-shrouded morning, a vigorous low pressure system winds up and nails us right in the kisser with moderate to heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms in the midday hours. All this action will kick up dangerously high wind gusts upwards of 40 mph and higher mainly out of the southeast beginning between 10 and 11 am and continuing through 4 to 5 pm, after which winds will still be high but will have shifted to northwesterly. Windy conditions will continue through the night with northwesterly wind gusts in the 30-35 mph range under partially clearing skies. Better, but the damage will have been done. Morning low in the low 40’s and an afternoon high in the mid 50’s, hardly noticeable given the blustery mayhem ensuing.
Have fun!
