Your RI Weather Today, April 20, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure builds in behind the cold frontal passage and upper level trough that had the high winds mixing down yesterday. Some of that will still affect the area as northwesterly winds will still be gusting towards 30 mph through the afternoon. Lot’s of sunshine, with high temp in the mid to upper 50’s after morning lows around 40.

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.
