If I were leaving Asheville Friday afternoon, I'd look at Kingston (71°F) first.
The question
Where near Asheville has 65°F weather this weekend?
Weekend strip
Kingston 71°F · Newport 74°F · Manchester 74°F
Where to go
1. Kingston, Ontario
Kingston in Ontario is one of the clearer matches for patio weather on this weekend’s board — a 71°F high and 58°F low with only light rain on the books (~0.23 in).
Once the high sits near 71°F, Kingston becomes a food town as much as a weather town — patio dinners, casual spots, and a reason to linger after you’ve checked the forecast.
If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh Kingston’s 71°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.

2. Newport, Rhode Island

Rank 2 isn’t a trophy — it’s a forecast fit. Newport (Rhode Island) lands near 74°F with only light rain on the books (~0.25 in), which is exactly the band people want for sit-outside terrace weather.
This is the kind of beach stop you discover when you stop browsing generic guides and start asking for weather-perfect weekends. You can actually plan a trip around outdoor time here without pretending the sky will cooperate out of kindness.
If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh Newport’s 74°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.
Where to eat
3. Manchester, New Hampshire

If you’re scanning for current recommendations, put Manchester near the top of the list: weekend air around 74°F / 56°F, plus only light rain on the books (~0.17 in).
Once the high sits near 74°F, Manchester becomes a food town as much as a weather town — patio dinners, casual spots, and a reason to linger after you’ve checked the forecast.
If you’re comparing two or three towns, weigh Manchester’s 74°F high against how you actually want to feel outside — then lock the plan once it feels like weather you’ll love.
