Your RI Weather Today, Jan. 17, 2022 – John Donnelly
by John Donnelly, meteorologist
Martin Luther King Day 1/17/22:
A warm winter storm sweeps through the area early today, with moderate rain and high winds washing and blowing away the snow that fell overnight.
Strong southeasterly winds gusting in excess of 50 mph will wreak a little havoc through early afternoon, yanking down weakened and old tree branches, so expect some power outages.
Warmer than normal temperatures expected, if you don’t mind small sticks in your eyes, mid to upper 40s up from mid 30’s. Winds should die down in the afternoon but not totally end, gusts around 30 mph through 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.
