Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 17, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

High pressure begins to relinquish it’s hold over our weather as a strong cold front moves through the midwest and heads our way. We’ll have plenty of abnormal warmth through the day with a strong breeze out of the southwest.

Clouds will be thickening with rain eventually beginning in the evening hours and carrying on through the night.

Morning low in the mid 40’s rising to the mid 50’s through the day.

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.
