RI Weather for September 25, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A nice start with clear skies and dry air gradually deteriorates with increasing cloud cover and the eventual commencement of some light rain showers later in the day and evening as a warm front approaches from the west. Morning lows in the low 50’s rise to the upper 60’s in the afternoon with gradually decreasing winds shifting to southwesterly and gusting still to around 20 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.
