RI Weekend Weather Wrap for Feb. 25/26, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Saturday 2/25/23:

A persistently cold day expected, with temperatures ranging from early morning lows in the teens to afternoon highs in the low 20’s. Thankfully the wind will be light, so wind chill won’t be a killer. An impulse of low pressure swings through to our south, stirring up the chance for flurries and light snow during the afternoon leading to a light dusting.

Sunday 2/26/23:

Another quick hitter low pressure area passes through, this time to our north, and we may catch the southern end of some light snow in the afternoon/evening, but should not see anything in the way of accumulation. Warmer, and on the windy side, morning lows in the low 20’s and afternoon highs in the upper 30’s with a gusty southwesterly breeze.
