Warmest day of the year?

PROVIDENCE -- That’s right. With temps in the lower 80s expected for the Providence area, today is poised to be the warmest day of the year -- so far, that is, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Tracy McCormick.

Today’s temps would top yesterday’s 77-degree high at T.F. Green Airport in Warwick and two April days in the lower 70s, but they won’t break the record temperature for May 5 of 91 degrees set back in 1949, McCormick said.

Nevertheless, low 80s are high for this time of year. Normal would be mid-60s, according to the National Weather Service.
