Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 2, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Groundhog Day 2/2/22:

Low pressure sneaks up from the western Atlantic waters and keeps us under a blanket of cloud cover, with a cool mist and drizzle as an added benefit. We’ll have some warmer air, and with the saturation, should eat away most of the snow cover.

Morning lows in the upper 20’s and afternoon highs in the upper 30’s with a light and variable wind.

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.
