"Rhode Island sits in the Atlantic Corridor region of the Almanac's forecast, which includes nearby cities such as Boston, Hartford, as well as Rhode Island's own Providence. The outlook calls for above-normal temperatures across the region, with the coldest periods likely to arrive in mid- to late December, early and late January, and late February. Precipitation and snowfall will both be below normal this season, signaling fewer major storms and lighter accumulation across southern New England. The snowiest periods are expected around the holidays and late winter, specifically in late December, early January, and late February."
"For Rhode Island homeowners, that means fewer shoveling days and a smoother winter commute. The milder conditions may also ease energy bills, but it's still important to stay ready for the occasional icy morning or coastal wind event. Compared with last year's harsher cold spells, this season should feel more manageable-an opportunity to focus on comfort and upkeep rather than emergency weather prep."
A mostly mild 2025–2026 winter is expected nationally, with localized periods of colder weather. Most areas will experience near-normal to slightly milder temperatures, while a few regions will see intermittent cold interruptions. Rhode Island and the Atlantic Corridor are projected to have above-normal temperatures overall. Precipitation and snowfall across southern New England are forecast to be below normal, with the snowiest stretches around late December, early January, and late February. Homeowners can expect fewer major storms, lighter snow accumulation, fewer shoveling days, and reduced heating costs, though occasional icy mornings and coastal wind events remain possible. November is an ideal time for winter preparedness and home safety checks.
