Rhode Island Weather for Aug. 16, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A residual area of low pressure branching off from the main system swings by to our south, with most of the rain over the Cape and Islands, sparing mainland RI from this batch. Clouds will be prevalent over the area, keeping high temps down but RH up. Morning lows in the low 60’s rise to a muggy high in the high 70’s with a light southeasterly breeze.

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.
