Rhode Island Weather for May 5, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Most likely the last day of this unusually cool and damp pattern, with another round of early showers and cooler than normal highs and lows. Low in the low 40’s rise again to the mid 50’s with light rain and drizzle ending late morning, with a rare glimpse of some late afternoon sun and a farewell to clouds.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

A “C+” 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.
