A nearly cloud-free start to the day, with gradually increasing high cloud cover during the afternoon and evening leading eventually to some light to moderate rain after midnight Wednesday as low pressure develops and advances through the eastern US.

Morning lows start out in the upper 30’s, warming to the upper 50’s and cracking 60 here and there. A southwesterly breeze will keep the air moving for a decent Tuesday in early April.

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.
