RI Weather for August 15, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

We stay in the nice pattern for awhile longer, pleasantly warm and dry with some cloud cover thrown off by low pressure riding along a frontal boundary well out to sea. Any rain, which would be ok, I suppose, since walking on the drying grass is sounding like steps on freshly packed snowfall… a little crispy… will encroach only as far as the Cape and Islands.

Morning lows in the lows 60’s rise to the low 80’s with a light breeze out of the southeast.

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.
