RI Weather for October 24, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A slow moving warm front likes what it sees in our area and doesn’t seem to want to leave. We benefit (not) from another all-day rain event. Northeasterly flow off the western Atlantic feeds the system with plenty of moisture to keep the rain fairly steady for the duration. Morning lows in the mid 50’s rise to the low 60’s with those light northeasterly breezes generally less than 10 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.
