Rhode Island Weather for Feb. 17, 2023 – John Donnelly
by John Donnelly, meteorologist
Still winter, folks!
And we’ll feel it in the evening as temps quickly dive down to the upper 20’s for midnight lows, still above normal for lows by several degrees, but after yesterday’s big record of 71, it will be annoying. And the wind will be howling as the wind shifts to northwesterly behind the sharp cold front. Rain expected from morning through afternoon, maybe an embedded t’storm somewhere in the mix inland. Afternoon high in the upper 50’s with winds gusting into the 30-40 mph range, so a pretty active weather 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. He returned in 2001 to the old family neighborhood of Elmhurst.
