Rain moving away

It looks like a storm that's bringing rain to the region will move away sooner than previously thought. Rain should end for most by mid-morning to early afternoon Friday, Nov. 13, according to the National Weather Service's forecast discussion. The storm was previously expected to bring a prolonged period of rain with snow at higher, northern elevations, including the possibility of snow mixing in northern Rhode Island late Friday. Gusty winds will "stick around most of the day," and the high temperature in Providence should reach about 45 degrees, according to the weather service. Saturday looks mostly cloudy with a high near 47 in the Providence area, and Sunday should be sunny with a high near 50, according to the weather service. High pressure will move into the region next week, warming daytime temperatures into the 50s and near 60 Wednesday and Thursday, but leading to cold nights. "The high pressure will also bring back several nights of radiational cooling with clear skies and low winds, likely dropping low temperatures into the 20s and low 30s through the week as well," the weather service says.

Lindemann ’29: Crisis pregnancy centers are a threat Rhode Island can’t ignore

The Ocean State helped buoy the blue wave that swept the nation on Nov. 3. The Democratic nominee for governor, Helena Foulkes, won her race by over 100,000 votes. The Democrats running for the Senate, the House and Attorney General also won their races. None of these victories are surprising — we live in one of the bluest states in the country. Especially when it comes to pro-choice legislation, Rhode Island is extremely liberal. In 2019, the state codified the protections of Roe v. Wade into state law, and in 2024, we established legal protections for clinicians and prohibited legal action targeting legally provided health care.
