Your RI Weather Today, Feb 15, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Inland high pressure leads to light northwesterly winds and cool air enhanced by snow cover, which radiates energy back into space, so sunshine that may look pretty will have no punch. Afternoon highs in the upper 20’s up from a possible single-digit low in the morning.

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.
