RI Weather, September 2, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure dominates with stable and dry air keeping the sky cloud free and deep blue. Light easterly breeze barely enough to sway leaves gently in the afternoon. A cool morning Fall-ish low in the low 50’s rises to the upper 70’s.

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.
