RI Weather for January 30, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Cloud cover eventually thins out by days end as the weak cold front passe through, long since running out of steam after exhausting itself over the midwestern US. We’ll have warmer than normal temperatures, following the mild winter pattern, with highs in the upper 40’s from morning lows in the low 40’s with a light southwesterly breeze.

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.
