RI Weather for January 4, 2023 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

In between impulses of low pressure, we’ll start with low cloud cover and fog through the morning, low cloud cover sticking around through the day and then light rain kicks in again during the evening and overnight hours. Temps still above normal, mid 50’s for highs and low to mid 40’s for lows in the morning and evening with generally light and variable winds.

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.
