Your RI Weather Today – August 19, 2021 – John Donnelly
by John Donnelly, meteorologist
Remnants of Tropical Storm Fred move through the area during the morning with rain likely by 5am continuing through 2pm. There could be some embedded thunderstorms lurking around the central area of low pressure kicked by scattered pockets of upper level energy. And since it’s a tropical system, we get the added benefit of near complete humidity, so factor in a high frizz quotient.
Winds generally from the south and southwest will be gusting towards 30 mph during the early afternoon height of the activity. Morning low in the low 70’s with afternoon highs around 80.

Born in Hialeah, Florida in 1971, we moved back to Rhode Island in 1973 and settled in Johnston, where I grew up until graduating from Lyndon State College in 1998 with a Bachelor of Science in Meteorology. As a child I always wanted to know how air moved, and I ran towards not away from thunder and lighting and various other ominous weather phenomena, thus my interest in meteorology. I 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. I am an avid golfer, runner, reader, hack guitarist, and walker, so if you see a weatherman walking in a blue Jim Cantore weather jacket carrying an umbrella, look out!
