Your RI Weather Today, April 7, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

In between frontal systems we’ll be for the first part of the day, and then the rain begins, from about 4pm. A bit warmer, with afternoon highs in the mid 50’s from morning lows in the low 40’s. Southeasterly winds spoil the party, gusting towards 35 mph.

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.
