Your RI Weather Today – March 14, 2021

by Jack Donnelly, meteorologist

A trough of low pressure develops and sweeps through later in the day, winds kicking into high gear under some streaming cloud cover generated by the accompanying upper level dynamics, and we could even see a stray flake or three coming out of the north and northwest. Expect northwesterly winds upwards of 25 mph with gusts around 40 mph and higher in some spots in the later afternoon hours. Highs reach again into the mid 40’s and evening lows drop into the low 20’s with single-digit wind chills.
