Stephen Pellettiere

What if you could predict the weather with the precision of a seasoned meteorologist? Join me, Steve Pelletier, on The Weatherman Podcast, where I promise to equip you with the know-how to navigate the mid-October chill sweeping across the country. As a robust high-pressure system descends from Canada, you’ll learn how it’s influencing the lake-effect rain showers from the shores of Lake Superior to Lake Huron. While the northeast grapples with gusty winds causing airport delays in New York, cities like Boston, Atlanta, and Charlotte are enjoying calmer, drier conditions.

Meanwhile, listen as I paint a vivid picture of the weather across the rest of the nation, from Florida’s welcome dry spell to the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest. California’s coast stays dry, while the Midwest enjoys fair conditions amid brisk winds. Anticipate a frosty start for many in the northeast, signaling the true onset of fall. Whether you're ready to embrace the chill or are merely preparing for your commute, I’ve got all the insights you need. Hold onto your hats and tune in to prepare for the weather ahead.

Hi, this is Meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Tuesday. We're halfway through the month. It's the Ides of October, if you can call it. That Looks like temperatures on this 15th day of October will be a bit on the chilly side in many north and northeastern communities. This has a strong high-pressure system that's building down from Canada. It's causing lake-effect rain, rain showers mostly across the southern shores of Lake Superior, central and eastern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, also to the east and south of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario as well. Most of those showers, still with up-air level disturbances swinging through the central and southern Great Lakes, will cause maybe just clouds and maybe some showers.

Going into the New York area Also LaGuardia, jfk slight delays because of dealing with that gusty northwest wind. Up in Chicago, no problems there, expecting plenty of fair to partly cloudy conditions, but those strong northwest winds there as well.
