RI Weather for August 23, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly

A weak-ish cold front tries to move through the area, along which we should see some showers and perhaps some embedded thunderstorms helped along by some upper level energy that will add some lift to the environment necessary for tstms. We’ll start out similarly to yesterday, with morning mist and light coastal fog and a low in the upper 60’s followed by afternoon highs around 80 with a southerly breeze.

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.
