Beryl to bring  heavy rain and flooding from the Lower Arkansas River
Valley, northeast into the Middle Mississippi Valley, Lower Ohio Valley
and Lower Great Lakes...

...Record high temperatures to continue into mid week across large
portions of the west coast, while record high minimum temperatures stretch
from the Gulf coast, northeast along the East coast...

Beryl is expected to move steadily northeastward from eastern Texas Monday
afternoon, across Arkansas on Tuesday, into the Lower Ohio Valley Tuesday
night and into the Lower Great Lakes on Wednesday. While the wind speeds
associated with Beryl will continue to weaken as it moves farther from the
Gulf of Mexico, the storm will continue to be a prolific heavy rain
producer as it pushes northeastward. Widespread heavy rains are likely
along and to the northeast of the path of Beryl over the next two days
with rainfall totals of 2-5" from far northeast Texas, across large
section of Arkansas, southeast Missouri, central to southern Illinois,
Indiana, far northwest Ohio into the southern portions of the L.P. of
Michigan.  These amounts are on top of the 5 to 10+ inches of rains that
fallen along the path of Beryl as it pushed inland earlier Monday along
the central Texas Gulf Coast.  Flood watches are currently in effect along
the path of Beryl from eastern Texas, northeastward into southern
Illinois, affecting over 15 million people.

No let up expected to the string of record high temperatures being set
across large portions of the West coast.  The mid to upper level high that
has been anchoring the record western record heat is not expected to
change much over the next several days, as it remains in place, stretching
from Southern California/Desert Southwest, northward through the Great
Basin and across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies.  Excessive
heat warnings, watches, and heat advisories are currently in effect for
nearly all of Washington State, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada and
southwest Arizona.  Numerous record high temperatures are expected across
these areas over the next few days where high temperatures will be
anywhere from 10 to as high as 30 degrees above average.  In addition to
the record high daily temperatures, the early morning lows are also
expected to set records across large portions of the West over the next
two mornings.  Much above average temperatures also likely to remain in
place along much of the east over the next few days.  While there is not
forecast to be many record high temperatures across the East over the next
few days, numerous record high minimum temperatures are likely from the
eastern Gulf coast, through the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and into southern
New England.  Heat advisories are currently in effect across large
portions of the South, Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and southern New England
with this likely to continue o

Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom. On this Tuesday it is magically the ninth day of the month of July. We're almost a third of the way through and while we're dealing with heat and humidity some typical July weather across the Northeast Corridor, but we're also looking at a tropical storm barrel that was a hurricane Category 1, when it slammed into the central Gulf of Texas coast and now moving across the northeastern corner of East Texas into southeastern Oklahoma and over the state of Arkansas. During the daytime Today we will see that storm continue to advance up towards the central Mississippi River Valley, western portions of Tennessee and Kentucky and by the morning hours on Wednesday it looks like the storm will be just over the Ohio Valley. As we head towards Thursday the storm will continue probably over western Pennsylvania, western New York. Now that could jog just a bit off to the east, but either way it's going to be providing lots of rainy conditions for later, wednesday through Thursday in the northeast corner, from DC up to the Boston area, and with some locally heavy downpours as well, elsewhere across the nation. Once this system gets clear of the eastern seaboard, you see generally dry conditions from Chicago all the way down into central Texas, westward to the California coast and all the way up into Pacific Northwest as well. So basically what I'm trying to say is that we've got heat and humidity pretty normal for this time of year, a little bit above normal here, a lot above normal over the west, but it looks like we'll get some showers and thunderstorms and remains of burl in the northeast during the latter portion of Wednesday through Thursday. Even by Friday and into the weekend looks like some dry but continued warm weather will be moving in.

Now, if you're flying over the next couple of days, here's a look at the weather situation across the nation. First in Atlanta you're looking at showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon, so minimal delays expected there, not expecting severe weather, but there could be some hefty thunderstorms and of course that slows things down there. Also in Charlotte, similar situation For the latter portion of Wednesday into early Thursday. There will be also showers and thunderstorms in Chicago and also in St Louis and the central Mississippi River Valley. Even coastal sections of Florida will have showers and thunderstorms, mostly along the east coast. So there will be a few delays going down into Orlando or down into Miami during the daytime on Tuesday and on Wednesday as well. Central Texas looking pretty good, although there will be some patchy clouds and maybe some thunderstorms in Houston during the afternoon.

On Tuesday it looks like dry conditions are expected from the Dakotas western all the way to the West Coast. As mentioned, it looks dry from Southern California all the way up to Seattle, tacoma on later Wednesday and Thursday. But for the Northeast your temperatures are raised between 90 and 95. Heat advisories will continue from DC to Boston, including New York City, for Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday it looks like we'll have cooler temperatures but a much greater probability of some rainfall. By the time we get to Friday things start to dry out. We'll have fair but typical July weather upcoming for this weekend. I'm meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking in. Have a great day. Talk to you first thing on Wednesday.
