RI Weather Today, October 3, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Remnants of Ian remain stalled off the northeastern US coast, which means another day of windy conditions, maybe a bit more sun. Chilly lows in the upper 40’s and afternoon highs reaching only the upper 50’s with the northeasterly winds gusting to 35 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.
