RI Weekend Weather Wrap, March 26/27, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Saturday 3/26/22:

A partly cloudy start to a day that will end with some evening rain showers. Temps will top out in the mid 50’s with a southwesterly breeze after starting in the lower 40’s. Expect first drop around 4pm and last drops around 2am.

Sunday 3/27/22:

We’ll finish the weekend on the chillier side, afternoon highs stuck in the upper 40’s with an increasing wind out of the west-northwest gusting towards 30 mph. Partial clearing occurs behind the frontal passage, but then clouds once again begin to build up ahead of another weaker secondary trough of low pressure. We shouldn’t see anything in the way of rain through the day however, and evening low temps fall to the low 30’s.

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.
