Rhode Island Weather for February 20, 2026
Morning:
Wintry mix starts or continues—likely rain or rain/snow mix early, transitioning to more snow/sleet in spots (especially inland/north). Temps rising from upper 20s/low 30s to mid-30s. High precip chance (80-90%). Cloudy/overcast. Winds light to moderate (5-10 mph).
Afternoon:
Continued wintry mix, possibly peaking with sleet/rain/snow. Temps peak around 36-38°F. Precip chance remains high (80-90%), with some sources showing totals that could lead to minor accumulations (under 1″ snow possible, more sleet/ice in places). Overcast, maybe brief lulls but no real sun breaks. Winds 5-10 mph.
Evening:
Mix tapering but still possible showers or snow, becoming more snow-like as temps drop to upper 20s/low 30s overnight. Cloudy. Precip chance 70-80% early evening, decreasing later. Winds light. Low around 27-30°F tonight.
This is a coastal-influenced system, so southern/coastal RI may see more rain, while northern/higher elevations get more snow/sleet. Total precip could be 0.5-1″ liquid equivalent, with spotty accumulations.
Overall Grade: C
SNOW STORM ahead for a Sunday into Monday storm of sizeable strength.
