RI Weather, Labor Day, September 5, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Labor Day 9/5/22:

This holiday weekend ends with a bit of a bust, light rain likely at varying intensities through the day beginning during the overnight hours, lasting through Tuesday in fact. There is the suggestion of some upper energy adding to the mix, so there may some thunder rolls softened by the cloud cover and rain during the morning to midday hours.

Highs will peak in the low 70’s and cool to the mid 60’s by evening with a light breeze out of the east and southeast.

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.
