RI Weather for November 11, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

We’ll have a partly sunny start going quickly downhill in the afternoon with some rain beginning around 4pm and intensifying through the evening as what’s left of Tropical Depression Nicole tracks generally to our west, but her rain bands pass over the state on this Veteran’s Day. Morning lows in the low 50’s rise to the upper 60’s with a tropical feel to the air. A wind out of the south will intensify to the point of some gusts in a 30-40 mph range later in the evening/overnight hours.

Happy Veteran’s Day!

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.
