RI Weather for today, October 6, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

We’ll be essentially finished with Ian’s influence on our recent weather pattern, and we may even see the sun with dry conditions with only light breezes as high pressure drives the storm further out into the ocean where he belongs.

Morning lows in the upper 50’s rise to around 70 in the afternoon with a clearing sky and a shifting light breeze beginning as northerly and ending as southerly.

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.
