Your RI Weekend Weather Wrap – Feb. 26/27, 2022 – John Donnelly

by John Donnelly, meteorologist

Saturday 2/26/22:

Cool high pressure drives in from the north and keeps things fairly quiet through most of the weekend. Other than for a couple of hours in the middle of the day, we’ll sit on the underside of the freezing mark with a light shifting wind and mostly clear skies. Highs in the low 30’s from morning lows in the upper teens.

Sunday 2/27/22:

A weak cold front moves south and may trigger some flurries later in the day, but only after a fairly nice day, relatively speaking. Lows in the mid 20’s climb to afternoon highs in the low 40’s under partly cloudy skies and a brisk west-southwesterly breeze gusting towards 30 mph.

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.
