Hurricane Francine's Path and Weekend Weather Forecast: What to Expectwith Steve Pellettiere
How will Hurricane Francine impact the Gulf Coast and beyond? Join meteorologist Steve Pelletier for a thorough analysis of the storm's projected path, potential intensification, and expected landfall in Louisiana. Steve provides crucial details on the hurricane's trajectory, including its movement towards the northeast at 10 mph and the likelihood of it transforming into a tropical depression. With maximum sustained winds of 75 mph, Francine's influence will be far-reaching, affecting regions across the southeastern states and Tennessee Valley over the coming days.
But it's not all doom and gloom—Steve also shares a sunnier forecast for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Expect fair and dry conditions from Washington, DC, to Boston through the weekend, with warm temperatures and clear skies making it a perfect time for outdoor activities. For those with travel plans, Steve highlights potential delays around the Gulf Coast due to the hurricane, but reassures that major hubs like Atlanta, Charlotte, Chicago, and New York are currently experiencing good weather. Tune in for all the details you need to navigate the week ahead with confidence.
Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Wednesday. It is the 11th day of the month of September 2024. Taking a look first at Hurricane Francine. Francine is a hurricane located to the southwest of the Louisiana coast. At 10 pm last evening we saw the center of Hurricane Francine located at 26.4 north longitude, 94.3 west, and Francine is moving towards the northeast at around 10 miles per hour. Faster northeastward motion is likely, as it continues throughout the daytime today and a forecast track, francine is anticipated to make landfall in Louisiana on Wednesday afternoon or Wednesday evening. Now, after landfall, the center is expected to move northward into Mississippi Wednesday night and then become a tropical depression and meander across the southeastern states, the Tennessee Valley and the southeastern states over the next several days. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 miles per hour with higher gusts, and additional strengthening is a possibility through Wednesday morning, through this morning, and it will continue to weaken quickly once it makes land later in the day on Wednesday and Wednesday night. So right now, category 1 hurricane moving towards the northeast, towards the Louisiana Gulf Coast, and it will move overland during Wednesday evening and on Thursday as well, elsewhere across the nation.
Speaker 0:At this point what we're seeing is just great weather. High pressure is the main feature. Mid-atlantic and northeast forecast for the northeast, from DC all the way up to the Boston area, calling for fair, dry weather right through this upcoming weekend. It'll be sunny today, highs reaching 80 to 85, clear at night, mid-50s. Thursday sunshine also about 80 to 85. Clear at night, mid-50s. Thursday sunshine also about 80 to 85. By Friday, mid to upper 80s, especially in the DC Baltimore area, could be quite warm. New York City up to about 84, 86 degrees expected for Saturday and Sunday, both days A little bit cooler in the upper 70s up in the Boston area with a little bit of a wind out of the east there. So dry conditions are expected right up through Tuesday.
Speaker 0:For aviation interest, if you are traveling by airline and looking at the hubs across the nation on this Wednesday, you see that the Atlanta area is doing pretty good. Going into Louisiana and New Orleans probably going to be some delays. Also around much of the Gulf Coast of Alabama, mississippi and West Florida will be under the influence of those thunderstorms. Of Tallahassee, pensacola, those places Most likely will be under hurricane watches and warnings over the next 24 hours. So some delays into there, but no problems going into Atlanta just yet. Eventually they'll get some of the rain shield from the system when it becomes tropical depression over the central or southern Mississippi. River Valley, charlotte's looking good, chicago, new York, of course, newark, and no problems in those places. Weather wise, at least Boston looking pretty good, dallas, fort Worth also missing the storm as is Houston, although Houston probably will get some showers and residual thunderstorms from the hurricane. And over the Pacific Northwest, finally, some low pressures moving out of the Pacific Northwest Coastal sections of Washington and Oregon will be under rainy weather and that will be spinning into the central and northern Rockies, into Idaho and southern Canada over the next several days. So weather-wise we're looking pretty good across the northeast, but watching Hurricane Francine as it moves towards the coast of Louisiana and we'll be making landfall a little bit later on.
Speaker 0:Today I'm Eddie Rogers, steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Thursday, take care.
