Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier. I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Tuesday. It is the 10th day of the month of September 2024. Look at the weather chart shows generally dry conditions across much of the nation today. We did see a little area of some scattered showers moving down out of the Great Lakes, out of Lake Erie, lake, ontario, much of New York State during the evening hours on Monday into early portion of this morning. Well, that area is now moving further offshore. We'll also see some scattered showers into Nebraska, sections of Kansas and just some light showers in the Dakotas this morning. Areas of rainfall just off the Texas Gulf Coast most likely will make it overland during the daytime and it looks like scattered showers and thunderstorms as is typical from central and south Florida during the daytime on Tuesday into Tuesday night.

Weather situation across the Northeast Carter, that is, from DC, new York City up to Boston. Looking at pretty good weather for the next several days. It's going to be sunny on Tuesday, wednesday and Thursday, even Friday, saturday and Sunday as well, right up through the weekend. We're looking at fair conditions. The temperatures will be gradually a little bit warmer each and every day Upper 70s, near 80 today, 80 to 85 on Wednesday and Thursday. Mid to upper 80s. Friday, saturday and Sunday Warmer to the south. A little bit cooler to the north and east, as is typical If you're traveling during the daytime.

On Tuesday, airline hubs not looking too bad at all. It's Charlotte and Atlanta Good weather there. Chicago dry. Also dry in Minneapolis, st Paul, though some scattered late-day or evening thunderstorms are a possibility. Boston area looking at just mostly cloudy conditions, then some sunshine, and in New York City no problems expected there. Dry at Newark, laguardia and JFK, and Philadelphia is looking fine, as is Baltimore, bwi and DC Looking pretty good weather-wise. Scattered showers just off the coast of Texas that may be affecting flights in and out of the Houston area with some minor delays. Dallas-fort Worth generally on the dry side, no problems weather-wise for most of California, all the way up into Portland and up into Seattle as well. Now, I was talking about that area of rainfall that is around the Gulf Coast. Tropical Storm Francine is going to become a hurricane before making landfall around the US. Hurricane Watch has been issued for Louisiana due to Tropical Storm Francine, which will strengthen as it advances across the Gulf of Mexico and then looks like it will continue right in through, maybe around the Gulf Coast, louisiana, alabama, mississippi, and then head inland and then get absorbed basically, and dry out and stay across the southern states over the next several days.

Speaker 1: 2:33

Well, this is pollen season. It's really been tough Ragweed and grass pollen, ragweed pollen and grass pollen over the last several days and it looks like no change in this coming up over the next several days. Air quality across the nation looking pretty good from the Carolina southward right in through Florida and along the Gulf Coast because of expected rains and cleansing conditions there. Also looking at fairly decent conditions across central and northern New England, also across the central and northern Great Lakes into North Dakota. But it looks like we're getting an increase in pollen and air pollution across Idaho, west Montana and much of the western states over the next couple of days. No exception expected for at least Wednesday and Thursday.

Grass pollens are going to be high in New Jersey, new York, much of southern New England, extending into Pennsylvania, the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, and it looks like ragweed pollen is still a major problem, causing all those allergy symptoms that you have Watery eyes, sneezing, the cough and, of course, the sniffles. And this is going to continue because of ragweed being at very high levels across New Jersey, pennsylvania, southern New England, all the way out into the Great Plains states and up into the Pacific Northwest. It looks like it's at least moderate there, but the only place where you can find some relief from that type of pollen is along the Texas Gulf Coast, coastal Louisiana, alabama, mississippi and Florida. But the ragweed is going to be a problem throughout this week into this weekend. So hang on. I'm meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman.
