RI Weather for January 5, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Low pressure system moves to our east with rain ending in the early morning, but mist and drizzle continue basically through the day under a low overcast. We’ll still manage a few degrees above normal for highs and lows, mid 40’s and mid 30’s expected with a light northerly breeze.

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.
