Rhode Island Weather for March 10, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A decent start to the day with some sun and clouds mixed and a perfectly normal low in the low 30’s. Cloud cover will thicken from above as a low pressure system approaches from the west and performs a combination center jump and Hatteras low formation, which means energy will transfer to a point off the Carolina coast, dragging the storm’s focus southward, so we should be spared the most intense portion of whatever precipitation there is. Some rain and snow mixed likely after midnight with little accumulation. Afternoon highs reach the upper 40’s with a light and shifting wind less than 10 mph from northwesterly to southwesterly late.

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.
