Your RI Weather Today, April 4, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Cloud cover gradually diminishes, but doesn’t disappear. We’ll see an improvement from yesterday’s fairly chilly weather as afternoon temps climb to the mid 50’s from morning lows in the upper 30’s. A northwesterly breeze will persist, but not a gale, some gusts creep into the 20-25 mph range.

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.
