RI Weather for September 19, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Waves of low pressure ride along the slow moving frontal system over New England that will, with the aid of added fuel in the form of increased atmospheric moisture, generate some afternoon showers and evening thunderstorms over the area.

Afternoon highs in the mid 70’s and evening lows in the mid 60’s with a light southeasterly breeze just a background setting for the expected active weather.

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.
