I don't know about Saturday and Sunday yet, but you may want to dress warmer, especially for those that are going out for the night life.

WEDNESDAY: Partly sunny with the chance for a sprinkle or brief shower in the afternoon. Highs 55-60.

THURSDAY: Partly sunny with highs around 62.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny and dry with highs in the mid to upper 60's.

SATURDAY: Cloudy with the chance for showers. Highs in the upper 60's.

SUNDAY: Sunny with highs around 70.

Its New England, never believe the weather...


what they're NOT telling you is the night temp can drop down to the 40's. and considering its Rhode Island, there's an ocean breeze that can send a chill of minus 5-10 degrees of whatever the high is.

I recommend bringing a hoodie, or light spring jacket for you "smaller" Joe fans... and sweaters for the tropical climate people...

Well if RI weathermen are anything like SC weathermen, they just use a dart and a weather dartboard and throw blindfolded.
So on that assumption, I predict the opposite. 50% chance of Rain with a slight chance of snow.

Heh, that sounds downright balmy compared to the freakin foot of snow I got on Fri (which melted today, gotta love Colorado in the spring time).

That is some beautiful weather, if the weatherman knows what he's talking about.

heres the New England trap:

"FRIDAY: Mostly sunny and dry with highs in the mid to upper 60's."

translation:

By the time you wake up to get breakfast, its only gonna be 45-50 degrees, this includes when you go to the Hasbro tour.

but the time it does get into the upper 60's you will be INSIDE the auditorium, int he seminars, and the dealers room, or in the mall getting lunch...

by the time you do get outside to get dinner or the bar.. the temperature has now dropped to the lower 60's or lower, and now theres a seabreeze....


See by the time it gets "hot" it will be Sunday, and most people will be going home...
