Your RI Weather Today, March 17, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Low pressure moving up from the south delivers an afternoon’s worth of rain for our St Patrick’s Day weather. Top of O’ soft New England afternoon to ya! Anyway, morning lows in the upper 30’s rise under cloudy and wet skies to the low 50’s with a light breeze shifting from southerly to northeasterly.

Happy St. Patrick’s 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.
