RI Weather for August 12, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A warm and crisp day after most of the humidity will have finally ended for the time being. We’ll have some high cloud cover as a weak upper level twist drops in over the area later in the day, but any rain should evaporate before reaching the ground. Morning and evening lows in the upper 60’s around afternoon highs in the low 80’s with a light northerly breeze less than 10 mph.

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.
