RI Weather for Dec. 7, 2022 – John Donnelly
by John Donnelly, meteorologist
Our low pressure system passes through during the day with light rain, mist and drizzle likely throughout the early evening. Winds will begin to turn more northwesterly overnight into Thursday morning as dry air works in as well. Morning lows in the upper 40’s rise to the mid 50’s with winds gusting to 25 mph.
As far as a first snowfall goes, this will be a mild December with slightly above normal temperatures, so the few storm systems that roll through over the next two weeks will in all likelihood be rain, may a few wet flakes mixed in with a Canadian Low rolling through on the 12th and 13th, and then a Hatteras Low develops on the 21st and 22nd, maybe some wraparound snow as that system moves through. Still early, but I bet the first measurable snow will be with the latter, an inch or two of wet snow. But it’s still early…

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.
