Rhode Island is getting hot! According to a new study done by scientists from Climate Central that says Rhode Island is the fastest warming state in the United States.

We need more information. How do we know whether to flee to the midwest if we don’t have details on tornadoes this season?

It was only 25 degrees in the Providence area at 7 a.m. today, and it will drop back down to 29 degrees tonight, according to the National Weather Service.

Synopsis: “OMG it’s the end of the world! Run for the hills!”

Rhode Island reached incandescence Friday as the big ball of heat that has engulfed much of the country produced a record temperature of 101 degrees at 3 p.m., boiling past the old record of 100 set in 1926.

A LARGE AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ACROSS THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES WILL GRADUALLY MOVE EAST AND SPREAD DANGEROUS HEAT INTO OUR REGION BEGINNING THURSDAY AND LIKELY CONTINUING FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THE HEAT WAVE WILL LIKELY BREAK SUNDAY AS COOLER CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE MOVES INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

“Nicole Belk, a National Weather Service meteorologist, said from her Taunton office Tuesday that the culprit is a large area of high pressure over the southeastern U.S. whose winds will deliver temperatures in the 90s both Wednesday and Thursday.”

Residents should look for approaching storms. Signs of danger include dark, often greenish sky; large hail; a large, dark, low-lying cloud (particularly if it’s rotating); a loud roar similar to a freight train; or the sudden, miraculous ascent of the righteous into heaven in advance of the oncoming chaos.
