RI Weather for September 13, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A low pressure system moves through the area with some showers and embedded thunderstorms expected from around sunrise until mid afternoon. Partial clearing will take place later as dry air begins to fill in the gaps behind the cold frontal passage. Morning lows in the upper 60’s rise to the mid to upper 70’s with a southerly breeze gusting towards 20 mph. Gusts can vary and be intense with convection, so just keep that in mind, not to mention the electricity.

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.
