Your RI Weather Today, March 9, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

A low pressure system passes to our south, with light snowfall beginning after sunrise and lasting into late afternoon/early evening. It will be a wet snow, so total snow accumulation will be low, but of a dense variety, so 1-3 inches is to be expected. Winds will be light shifting from southeasterly to northeasterly during the day.

Morning and evening lows in the low 30’s bookending afternoon highs in the mid 30’s.

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.
