RI Weather for December 9, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure remains in control for another day giving us clear skies and blustery conditions, breezes gusting to 25 mph out of the north with a high in the mid 40’s from morning lows in the low 30’s. A retrograding low pressure system tries to sneak in from the sea, maybe some high clouds later in the day looking to the east. No threat of precip for us.

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.
