A warm front extending out from a mid-western low pressure system will push in light rain beginning around 11am and gradually become a little steadier by evening with some heavier pockets thrown in. Morning lows in the misty low 30’s will rise to a midnight high in the upper 40’s and climb through the night. Winds out of the southeast will gust towards 25 mph and a bit higher later in the evening.

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.
