Your RI Weekend Weather Wrap, Feb. 19/20 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Saturday 2/19/22:

         Another quick moving cold front moves through in the evening with some extra mid-level energy injected into the system, which may lead to a snow squall event with a brief period of intense snowfall and high winds. Most likely timing would be between 2-5pm. Other than that, it should be a decent February day with high temps in the upper 30’s from morning lows in the low 20’s with a winds shifting from the southwest to the northwest with the cold frontal passage.

Sunday 2/20/22:

         High pressure moves in and quells the excitement, so a relatively boring and average forecast for this weatherman’s birthday. Plenty of sun with morning lows in the upper teens warming to the mid 30’s in the afternoon along with a wind shifting from northwest to southwest.

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
