Rhode Island Weather for August 18, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

We’ll have showers and light rain from morning through the afternoon as a cold front passes across the area. Partial clearing will occur in the evening as dry air works in behind the cold frontal passage. Morning lows in the mid 60’s rise to afternoon highs in the low 80’s with a southerly breeze shifting to westerly later in the evening.

It’s a “C-” day!

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.
