Rhode Island Weather for July 4, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Independence Day 7/4/23:

Stuck in the same pattern, with morning mist in the saturated air, we may eek out a few hours in the evening with some partially clearing skies for decent fireworks displays. We can only hope. But in the meantime, we’ll have the chance for showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the inland areas away from the bay influence from midday to late afternoon. Misty morning lows in the upper 60’s and afternoon highs in the mid to upper 70’s with a lethargic southwesterly breeze really not doing a damn bit of good. It is July in New England.

Happy Fourth!

It’s a “B” 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.
