RI Weather Today, Thurs, June 28, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Our cold front, having moved out to sea and weakened to a surface trough, will allow dry air to seep into the area with cooler than normal temps, afternoon highs topping out in the low 70’s from morning lows in the low 60’s with a light northwesterly breeze. Plenty of late June high-angled brilliant sunshine, with some non-threatening afternoon fair weather cumulus cloud cover developing.

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.
