May 16, 2026/
On Saturday, May 16, 2026, Rhode Island is forecast to enjoy a sunny, pleasant spring day with a high near 75°F and low around 52-56°F overnight.
Morning: Skies start mostly clear to sunny with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 50s (around 55-60°F by late morning). Light winds become southwesterly, making it feel comfortable and refreshing as the sun burns off any early haze. Low chance of any lingering overnight effects.
Afternoon: Peak warmth hits the low-to-mid 70s under full sunshine, with southwest winds around 5-13 mph. It will feel quite nice for outdoor activities—dry, bright, and warmer than recent days, with humidity on the lower side.
Evening: Temperatures drop into the low-to-mid 60s as the sun sets around 8 PM. Skies remain mostly clear to partly cloudy, with light winds continuing. A very low (isolated) chance of a late-night shower possible after midnight, but the evening itself stays dry and pleasant.
Overall letter grade: A-
A beautiful, sunny warmup with minimal precipitation risk and comfortable temperatures—ideal for most outdoor plans, though not quite beach-hot. Minor deductions for the chance of a stray late shower overnight and typical spring variability. Forecasts can shift slightly, so check updates closer to the day.
