by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A frigid day with wind chills down in the single digits. Afternoon highs reach only around 20 from morning lows in the low teens. The winds will be gusting still, blowing out of the west-northwest to 30 mph. It’ll be sunny though, so there’s that.

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.
