Your RI Weather Today, September 24, 2021 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Our slow moving cold front will squeeze out some rain basically all day with the chance for embedded thunderstorms during the midday hours.

Rain will last off and on through the evening hours before the front passes an winds shift to northwesterly, cutting things off and dropping the dew points.

We’ll have afternoon highs in the mid 70’s and an evening low in the mid 60’s with diminishing southerly winds shifting to northwesterly late.

John Donnelly was born in Hialeah, Florida and moved back to Rhode Island and settled in Johnston, where he grew up until graduating from Lyndon State College in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology. As a child John always wanted to know how air moved, and he ran towards not away from thunder and lighting and various other ominous weather phenomena. He returned in 2001 to the old family neighborhood of Elmhurst where the Mccabe’s, Donnelly’s, Walker’s and Callan’s have been since after the Civil War. A meteorologist, John also is an avid golfer, runner, reader, hack guitarist, and walker. If you see a weatherman walking in a blue Jim Cantore weather jacket carrying an umbrella, look out!
