RI Weather for October 21, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure settles in as low pressure moves farther away offshore and into northeastern Canada, reducing the amount of wind that we’ll see. Still just a bit breezy, some gusts around 20 mph with a morning low in the low 40’s rising to the low 60’s in the afternoon.

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.
