Rhode Island Weather for Feb. 24, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A strong push of Canadian high pressure drives the weather for the day, reminding us that Winter “ain’t dead yet!” We’ll have to deal with some brutal northwesterly winds persisting with a plunging temperature, yielding wind chills flirting with the teens. Fitting that we’ll have a backwards temperature regime, with morning highs in the upper 30’s and evening lows in the low 20’s.

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.
