Pressure and weather in Providence
Providence sits at the top of Narragansett Bay, close enough to the ocean to feel every coastal storm that tracks up the New England seaboard. Nor'easters, sea-breeze fronts, and low-pressure systems moving offshore can send the current barometric pressure falling and rising quickly, and the bay adds moisture that sharpens those changes. A barometric pressure forecast for Providence helps you see when air pressure today is about to shift so barometric pressure headaches don't catch you off guard. Late fall through early spring, when nor'easters are most frequent, brings the deepest and fastest weather pressure swings.
