Weekend weather: Warm temps and, finally, some rain

Patience with the fog has paid off.

It’s cleared and left in its wake partly sunny skies (or partly cloudy, depending on how you look at it).

And a much higher temperature than anyone could possibly expect as we head into the long Columbus Day weekend.

The National Weather Service forecast predicts temps will hold steady in the low 80s until about 8 p.m. when the temperature should drop to 70 and reach an overnight low of about 63 degrees.

Tomorrow should look a lot like today – foggy, then partly cloudy – but with the temperature barely reaching 80 degrees. There’s a 20 percent chance of showers in the evening.

Possibly another rainy night tomorrow; temperatures will drop through the 60s overnight, bottoming out at 50 early Monday morning.

Clouds are expected to hang around all day Sunday, when the high temperature won’t get much warmer than 60 degrees.

Forecasting Columbus Day weather is a stretch, but it’s looking like more of the same mix of rain, clouds and a bit of sun with fall-like temperatures in the mid-to-high 60s.

Maybe a few drops will help Rhode Island’s foliage prospects. With the exception of a few maples, the leaves have yet to turn around most of the state. In some places, there's no color show – just dry, dead leaves falling.
