Your midday Rhode Island weather update A typical Rhode Island spring pattern takes hold today with rain clearing out early and temperatures climbing nicely by afternoon. Right now we're sitting at 44 degrees, but expect a steady rise through the morning hours reaching 61 by noon. That rain moving through the Providence area will wrap up by 5 A.M., so if you're heading out for an early morning jog or grabbing the Sunday paper, you'll catch the tail end of those showers.
