Your RI Weather Today, March 3, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

After some light overnight rain showers end before the sunrise, high pressure will begin to move in from the northwest and bring the wind. Gusts towards 30 mph expected, chilling the 40 degree warmth to something less. Still above freezing, so more of the dense ice will be loosened up as the day progresses.

Cold air once again takes hold in the evening, so some icy spots on the roads and driveways should be expected.

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.
