Your RI Weather Today, March 7, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A frontal system moves in from the southwest with an initial bout of light showers possible in the morning, but the better chance for light rain during the evening hours until about midnight. We’ll have some warmth and a little sun as we sit in the warm sector of the system during the afternoon, highs in the upper 50’s from morning lows around 50. Winds will be up and gusting towards 30 mph, driving what rain we have into those tough to reach places.

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.
