RI Weather for Feb. 2, 2023 – Groundhog Day! – John Donnelly
by John Donnelly, meteorologist
It’s Groundhog Day…
Really uneventful weatherwise today, normal temp range with lows in the low 20’s rising to the mid and upper 30’s accompanied by a slightly gusty southwesterly breeze in the afternoon. Some morning clouds give way to a mostly sunny afternoon.
Now, whether Punxatawney Phil sees his shadow, that’s another thing. It’s forecast to be a cloudy morning in Punxatawney, PA, so that means an early Spring.
Early Spring or not, this weekend will be a wake up reminder, as dangerously low wind chills Friday night/Saturday morning remind us where we are.

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.
