Your RI Weather for April 11, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure keeps the clouds and showers at bay until later in the evening, so a decent day with warmer temps, morning lows in the 40’s followed by afternoon highs around 60 with a light southwesterly breeze. A frontal system to our west develops and brings in cloud cover by late afternoon and some light showers by evening.

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.
