RI Weekend Weather Wrap, October 22/23, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Saturday 10/22/22:

High pressure centers over the area, keeping the air generally where it is, meaning very little wind. Another nice and nearly cloud-free day, the exception being some high cirrus late as low pressure rolls up the eastern seaboard. Morning lows start in the low 40’s and warm to afternoon highs in the mid 60’s.

Sunday 10/23/22:

As a warm front associated with low pressure along the east coast drifts northward, rain will begin by late morning and carry on through the day and night with varying degrees of intensity, mostly light, with some bouts of slightly heavier rain in the early afternoon. Morning lows in the mid to upper 40’s rising to the upper 50’s with an increasing breeze from the northeast gusting to 25 mph.

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.
