RI Weather for Dec. 12, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Snow ends overnight, leaving behind up to an inch for most – or more for some. Accumulation will hang around for the morning as cool air remains in place. Afternoon highs in the upper 30’s with lots of sunshine may be enough to do away with lingering cover, after morning lows settle out in the upper 20’s and northerly breezes gust to 25 mph.

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.
