Rhode Island Weather for May 16, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Another nice day on tap, with partly cloudy skies and a warm temperature peaking in the upper 70’s after morning lows dipping to the mid 50’s. A west-southwesterly breeze will be gusty at times in the afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front that will trigger some very late night showers.

An “A-” 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.
