by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Abnormal warmth continues for another day, high reaching into the upper 40’s from morning lows in the low 30’s with a wind shifted to southerly gusting to 25 mph. Cloud cover thickens and eventually leads to some light afternoon and early evening showers over the area as a weak front develops and moves inform the midwest, but most of the rain will have been scoured out by the Appalachians.

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.
