An overall nice weekend despite a few quick showers St. Patrick’s Day morning

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Listen, it wasn’t the stellar day Thursday was, but Friday wasn’t bad – mostly cloudy and on the mild side.

Some sun returns on Saturday, mixed with clouds. Highs will reach the mid-50s by the afternoon; great conditions for the Newport St. Patrick’s parade!

A quick-moving line of showers arrives early Sunday morning, but will move out by midday, so St. Patrick’s Day afternoon/evening isn’t looking bad! A little breezy behind the front but still mild.

Sun and clouds are expected for much of next week, but it will turn chillier (and a bit windy) by the midweek, just in time for our first days of spring (the equinox is Tuesday at 11:06 p.m.)
