RI Weather for Dec. 5, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure to the south keeping a light south-southwesterly breeze moving the drier fallen leaves. Cool morning lows with some decent relative humidity will allow for frosty windshields and a low in the upper 20’s. Afternoon highs reach the upper 40’s under a partly cloudy sky with high cloud cover streaming in late in advance of a developing mid-western frontal system.

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.
