Snowy Week Ahead as Winter Weather Targets Rhode Island
So, let’s talk about what Rhode Island is gearing up for, because the weather is about to take a wintry turn. A strong winter system is pushing in from the Great Lakes and the Interior Northeast, and as it arrives, it’s bringing the kind of cold that really settles into your bones. Temperatures will barely make it into the 30s and low 40s, and once the wind kicks in, it’s going to feel even colder than the numbers suggest. Light, scattered snow showers or flurries may pop up here and there—mainly in the western and more inland parts of the state—but any accumulation will be very minimal.
Now, the more interesting part comes early next week. There’s talk of a coastal low forming Monday night and moving into Tuesday, December 2. If this storm hugs the shoreline closely enough, it could strengthen into a nor’easter. That’s when things could get a bit messy, with the potential for more meaningful snowfall. But at this point, details like exact amounts and storm tracks are still uncertain, so forecasters are urging everyone to stay tuned as the picture becomes clearer.

For the immediate days ahead, Saturday, November 29, stays cold but slightly less windy than what we’ve been dealing with. Highs will hover in the upper 30s to low 40s, and while gusts around 20 to 25 mph may still blow through, things won’t feel quite as harsh as earlier in the week. Any snow Saturday should remain limited to a few isolated flurries—nothing that sticks.
By Sunday, November 30, a warm front lifts through the region. That’s going to bring clouds and patches of light rain, though most places will see less than a quarter inch. Temperatures claw their way back into the 40s before the rain shifts out by Sunday night. Then Monday arrives with another cooldown. High pressure moves in behind the departing system, and colder northwest winds return. In areas that still have a little leftover snow from earlier flurries, wind chills may dip close to freezing again.
Looking ahead to Tuesday, December 2, forecasters are keeping a close eye on the potential winter storm. Higher elevations and inland areas stand the best chance of seeing snow, while coastal areas may get a rain-snow mix. The setup is still evolving, but it’s definitely a system worth watching.
And as for any talk about deep Arctic air or a major polar vortex event sweeping in—experts say the harshest cold will likely stay north in Canada for now. However, widespread below-average temperatures are still expected across much of the country next week, stretching from the High Plains all the way to the East Coast.
So, while Rhode Island may not be facing anything extreme just yet, the colder pattern is settling in, and next week’s storm could bring the season’s first real taste of winter if everything lines up just right. Stay updated, stay warm, and maybe keep that snow brush handy—just in case.
