An unsettled end to the workweek gave way to spectacular weather this weekend in Southern New England. That is great news for anyone attending the full lighting of WaterFire in Providence on Saturday.
The fires are lit shortly after sunset (7:54 pm), but the festivities begin in the late-afternoon and last until midnight. Visit this link (http://goo.gl/e1O8Dy) for all the details on the night’s events.
It will be a gorgeous afternoon and evening in Providence. The temperature will be well into the 80s in the mid-afternoon, but with dropping humidity, a diminishing wind, and clear skies it will be comfortably cool by late in the evening. Here are the details on the forecast.
