Rhode Island Weather for March 1, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Another storm system developing over the mid-western US will intrude over southern New England later in the evening, but mostly a light rain event this will be. High pressure keeps the lower levels dry, although high cloud cover roll in and veils most if not all of what little direct sunlight we will get. Morning lows in the upper 20’s rise to the mid 40’s with a light breeze shifting from northerly to southerly during the day. 

Giving TODAY a – “C”!

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.
