by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure moves southward into New England from Quebec, bringing slightly cooler air into the region for the day. A low in the mid 20’s rises to the mid 30’s with a nearly calm northerly breeze, more like a zephyr. Cloud cover rolls in later i the day ahead of the next low pressure system over the Great Lakes.

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.
