RI Weather for December 26, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

We’re inching up as far as temperature goes, afternoon highs reaching the freezing mark from a morning low around 21. Breezes will be down, from the west around 5-10 mph. Lot’s of sun to start, with high cloud cover rolling in late well in advance of a mid-western low pressure 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.
