Saturday 8/13/22:

A nice weekend starts today, low 60’s for lows rising to the upper 70’s as high pressure dominates and keeps us in the dry air. Light northerly breeze less than 10 mph.

Sunday 8/14/22:

More of the same with dry air in place, a relief from the past heat wave. Light winds shift to southerly, but dry air remains in place for the remainder of the weekend. Morning lows around 60 rising to around 80 under partly cloudy skies.

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.
