RI Weather for August 10, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Cold front continues reluctantly out to sea with cloud cover lingering through most of the day, thinning a bit and maybe breaking up later in the afternoon. A northerly breeze indicates a changing air mass, so we will be spared dew points in the disgusting mid 70’s, so walking out to check your mail should not require an immediate shower.

Afternoon highs will top out in the upper 70’s to maybe 80, from morning lows in the upper 60’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 where the McCabe’s, Donnelly’s, Walker’s and Callan’s have been since after the Civil War.
