Well before the rain today, the sky looked like this. 📍Compass Rose Beach in North Kingstown, RI

Beautiful sunrise in Warren, RI this morning! The high clouds from distant Hurricane Isaias really put on a show.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Hurricane Isaias is now a Category 3 storm in the Gulf with winds of 120mph. Landfall will be around Pensacola, Florida tonight, but the impacts will be felt far beyond the center. Gusts to 113mph are possible at landfall on the Florida panhandle. Surge of 5-7 feet. Rainfall of 4-8" there.

A very thin crescent moon is rising in the morning glow this morning. About 1.8% of the moon is being illuminated. The Lincoln camera looks like a scene from Tatooine.

Isaias developed an eye overnight. The hurricane is now a Category 2 with winds of 110mph. It may briefly intensify into a Category 3 today before making landfall this evening around the most western part of the Florida panhandle.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Hurricane Isaias will likely continue to strengthen today, turning northeast then north toward the northeast gulf coast, making landfall Friday evening/night. Wind gusts to 105mph, flooding rains and a storm surge up to 7 feet is expected.

The Azamara Journey pulled into Newport this morning. This is a smaller ship....only about 593feet. They're on a 12 day cruise from Manhattan. Newport today thru the Cape Cod Canal to Boston, Quebec City, ending in Montreal. Gorgeous day in Newport! Low 70s, a little breezy with sunshine.

Gorgeous sunrise this morning! A touch of wildfire smoke made it a bit more vivid. In Narragansett, I like the sun popping up over the ocean w/ a cruise ship moving in. The Lincoln pic looks like a scene from Star Wars. I like the pink halos on the EP & Newport pics.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
Quite the temperature change over the last 24 hours. You'll notice it as soon as you step outside. 70s this afternoon!

The fingernail of a moon rising just over the eastern horizon this morning.

🌀 NEW OVERNIGHT: Isaias has intensified into the first hurricane of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season. The storm is expected to move toward the northeast gulf coast, making landfall Friday evening.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
TS Isaias is expected to strengthen pretty quickly into a hurricane over the next 24 hours. This would be the first hurricane of the season. Isaias could make landfall along the NE Gulf coast, possibly as a Cat 2 storm, late Fri. Hurricane & Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for that area.

Two cruise ships in Newport today! The passengers have a great day in Newport with sunshine and dry weather. After a cool start, temperatures will rise into the low 60s. To the left is the Oceania Vista and to the right with the kissy face is the AIDAdiva.

Chilly, cloudless sunrise this morning. Temperatures were in the 20s, 30s and 40s as the sun popped up. Sunrise was at 6:49AM. Sunset is at 6:17PM.

Brrrr....check out some of these temperatures around Southeast New England. The coldest, as usual, in Hopkins Hollow in western Coventry. Milder weather returns this afternoon and for the next few days.

Our director, Alex, told me that the Scituate picture has a Star Wars vibe to it. Here's the finger nail crescent moon rising over Southern New England this morning.

Gorgeous sunrise on this chilly March morning. Clouds will thicken, and we'll see rain develop after the morning commute.

Ooooooo....check out this sunrise. Clouds were breaking as the sun was getting closer to the horizon. Look at EP!

Wowza. Look at this sky! This could definitely be a Top 12 Sunrise for 2026. The colors are stunning!

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 13/01/2026
Wowza! Yet another potential Top 12 Sunrise for 2026. Incredible start to the day. This has been quite the start to the year for sunrises!

Awesome sunrise in Scituate this morning. Look at that sun pillar and the texture/color in the clouds!

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 06/01/2026
Oooooo....we actually could see the sunrise this morning from Narragansett. We'll see more clouds than anything today, however. We'll take any sun we can get!

The waning crescent moon rising through the early morning skies of Southeast New England. It's only about 5% illuminated.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 25/11/2025
Incredible start to our Tuesday.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 24/11/2025
Quite the sunrise this morning! Wow. We had clouds overhead, but we had just enough of a break on the horizon to allow sunshine to light up the bellies of these clouds. This has Top 12 potential!

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 30/10/2025
WEATHER ALERT: We're expecting a period of heavy rain this evening with strong east-southeasterly winds. 1-2" of rain are possible with ESE gusts at the coast of 35-45mph. Some localized street flooding is possible.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 28/10/2025
For reference, Hurricane Allen in 1980 was the strongest (by wind speed) with 190mph. Andrew and Katrina also had winds of 175mph.

This morning, Hurricane Melissa is one of the strongest hurricanes on record in the Atlantic Basin with winds of 175mph with gusts topping 200mph! Melissa makes landfall in Jamaica today with catastrophic rain, wind and storm surge.

Hello Sunshine! Cold start with temperatures in the 20s, 30s and 40s. I like the Block Island sunrise picture this morning...sun peeking through the clouds with the Block Island Ferry approaching the island.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 27/10/2025
JUST IN: Melissa is now a Category 5 Hurricane in the Caribbean. Conditions will worsen through the day over Jamaica as the storm moves northward. Destructive winds, storm surge and catastrophic flooding expected today and tonight.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 26/10/2025
This is one of the most impressive sun pillars I've ever seen....look at that beam of light shining straight up into the sky! I think this may be a contender for a Top 12 Sunrise for 2025. Perfect recipe for a pretty sunrise: mid level clouds with a break on the horizon.
030
T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 15/10/2025
So nice to see anything but gray skies this morning! Beautiful colors in the skies about 10 minutes before sunrise. I think my favorite is Scituate this morning. 🙂

Frosty morning here at the Big Dozen in East Providence, RI! Brrrrr…

Luckiest people in Southern New England this morning are on that boat. Many people are socked in with clouds and fog, but that fishing boat had a great view of the sunrise. Wow...I'm jealous

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 09/09/2025
Chilly this morning just before sunrise with mainly clear skies. Most areas are in the 40s or 50s, a couple of 30s out there, too 😳

EARTHQUAKE: Did you feel this small earthquake in Rhode Island last night? A magnitude 1.8 quake was centered about 3 miles east of Narragansett around 11:36PM. Felt in Warwick, South Kingstown and Newport.

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 05/09/2025
Oh my goodness. Look at this sunrise! Showers are moving out, clouds are breaking, sunlight peaking through....wow. What do you think? Should this make the Top 12 list for sunrises of the year?

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 04/09/2025
The sun is up, and it's going to be another beautiful day. Sunrise was at 6:15AM, sunset is at 7:14PM.

Oh. My. Top 12'er for 2025 right here. Before the clouds and rain showers took over, we had a stunning sunrise. I'm putting these in the Top 12 Sunrise Photos for 2025. Fantastic start to our Friday!

T.J Del Santo @tjdelsanto.bsky.social · 28/08/2025
A chilly, cloudless sunrise this morning. Most spots were in the 40s and 50s, but a couple communities were in the 30s! Yikes.
