Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 13, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Low pressure that will have developed along the southeastern US coast moves towards our area but stays largely offshore, so we won’t catch the brunt of the action, just the northwest fringe elements, which means some light morning snow amounting to about an inch or so. We’ll have afternoon highs hovering around the freezing mark and dropping to evening lows in the mid 20’s with a light breeze generally out of the north.

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.
