RI Weather for August 24, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

The upper level energy that triggered yesterday’s deluge has smoothed out, and we should have a decent day today. Morning lows in the upper 60’s rise to the upper 80’s under a sky with just some fair weather cumulus interrupting the ample sunshine with a light westerly 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.
