Your Rhode Island Weather, April 18, 2022 – John Donnelly
by John Donnelly, meteorologist
A chilly and partly cloudy start that will deteriorate as the afternoon and evening progresses. Low pressure develops over the mid Atlantic states and moves our way, rain and wind out ahead of the warm front associated with the system rolls in around 11pm. Morning lows under mostly clear skies settles in the mid 30’s.
Cloud cover begins to roll in and halts any further warmth once early afternoon highs reach the low 50’s. Winds out of the southeast will climb towards 20 mph and gusts will reach 30 and above before midnight.

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.
