Your RI Weather Today, Feb. 8, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

The coastal low moves to our northeast and takes the rain with it, along with a good deal of the cloud cover, which will be diminishing as the day progresses. Decent warmth with afternoon highs in the low to mid 40’s with a light westerly breeze will continue the snow melting before dropping to the low 30’s later in the evening.

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.
