Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 24, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Party’s over.

We’ll get back to normal today with afternoon highs only reaching the mid 30’s from morning lows in the upper 20’s as cool air fills in with high pressure from the north on light northerly breezes.

Scattered cloud cover prevails through the day, increasing in the evening in advance of a late February surprise of a snow event. Shouldn’t be, as it’s still Winter in New England.

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.
