Rhode Island Weather for Feb. 23, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A late February low pressure system passes mostly to our south, with a mixed bag of precipitation affecting our area through mid morning. Mostly rain, but some pellets mixed in. Any snow accumulation will be minimal, except for maybe a coating in the northwest hills. A gusty northwest breeze through the saturated air will drain away any warmth from the air, so a truly raw feel we can look forward to.

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.
