RI Weather for Tues, Aug. 16, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Not a lot of difference from yesterday, low pressure offshore spins about as an upper low over the northeast US keeps some cool air in place aloft, so cloud cover will be varied through the day. Morning lows in the low 60’s rise to the upper 70’s with the northeasterly breeze gusting to 25 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.
