Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 16, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure offshore brings wind around from the south southwest, as warm air draws into the area. Cold morning lows in the teens will be followed by welcomed warmth as the day progresses, highs in the mid 40’s in the evening. Cloud cover develops later with the slight chance for an overnight shower.

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.
