Rhode Island Weather for Feb. 6, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Low pressure well off shore will throw back some cloud cover that will stick around for most of the day. Rain should stay away however, and we’ll stay in the warmer air brought north by the system. Afternoon highs reach the mid 40’s from an above freezing low in the low 30’s. Winds will gust to 25 mph out of the north generally.

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.
