RI Weather for September 7, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Low pressure drifts southeastward and drags the frontal boundary with it, rain driven off the southern coast with time. Drying air begins to fill the area, and cooling towards evening may allow for whatever low level moisture is left to form some overnight mist. Daytime highs around 70 cool to the low 60’s with a northeasterly breeze.

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.
