RI Weather for December 20, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Mostly clear as high pressure continues to control our weather for another day. Temperatures within normal range, maybe a couple of degrees off the average high of 42, but that’s the target, from a morning low in the upper 20’s. Winds shift slightly to north-northwesterly and will be weaker, gusting to around 20 mph in the morning.

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.
