Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 7, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Low pressure developing off the mid Atlantic coast rides northward and throws some mixed rain and snow for an hour or two in the morning before changing to all rain and continuing through the day. Morning lows in the mid 20’s rise to around 40 during the afternoon without much cooling in the evening given the injection of warmer sea air our way.

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.
