Your RI Weather Today, April 6, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Our low pressure system passes to our south, with light rain affecting the area through mid afternoon. Cloud shield extends well past the center of low pressure, so odds of seeing the sun are quite low. Northeasterly breezes gusting towards 30 mph keep the low level moisture elevated enough to allow cloud cover and slightly lower than normal temperatures to hang around, so conditions will remain quite raw through the day and night.

Morning lows in the low to mid 40’s with afternoon highs in the upper 40’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.
