RI Weather for October 2, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

As the rain starts to fade and scatter, winds will pick up a bit as the pressure gradient on the northwest side of the storm tightens, so we’ll see northeasterly winds gusting to around 30 mph or greater. Highs in the mid 50’s and evening lows in the upper 40’s once Ian heads further to the east and cooler air starts to fill in late.

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.
