RI Weather for January 2, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure to the south keeps the heat pump on, above normal temps for another day at least. We’ll have some morning mist in low lying and other prone areas with temps starting out in the mid 30’s, followed by partly cloudy skies and light westerly breezes with an afternoon high around 50.

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.
