Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom. On your Friday, 27th day of the month of December 2024, as the year quickly comes to a close, we've had some very cold and below normal temperatures across the mid-Atlantic and northeast over the last several days, but much of the nation is now under warming and that warming is going to arrive in the east as well as we head into this weekend. So first the weather for the northeast corner, from DC up to the Boston area, looking at generally fair skies for your Friday, mostly sunny skies or highs will range in the 30s to near 40 degrees. But for tonight there is the possibility of some ice, even though the temperatures will often be very warm close to the surface. In many interior spots of Pennsylvania and New York State and central and southern New England there will be, of course, some very cold temperatures. It's been cold for the last seven days and, with that in mind, the ground is very cold. When you have liquid precipitation and maybe a little low level of some cold weather, it can cause what we call glaze ice. So we do have winter weather advisors in effect for the possibility of some of that glaze ice during the overnight hours tonight and early tomorrow, but then after that we get into a mild flow.

Saturday's weather is going to be overcast. It's going to be a rainy weekend, saturday with high temperatures. In the New York City area temperatures will get up to about 40 to 45. But if you think that's warm on Sunday, it'll get all the way up to between 45 and 60. And again, that's warm on Sunday, it'll get all the way up to between 45 and 60. Again, occasional rain and drizzle on Sunday into the evening hours. It will end, though, in early going on Monday. We do have some dry weather from Monday afternoon through Tuesday before we get into more wet weather during the middle portion of the week. The first day of the new year on Wednesday of next week.

If you're traveling on this Friday, it looks like the weather just a little bit of light shower action in Atlanta. And on this Friday Looks like the weather just a little bit of light shower action in Atlanta and Charlotte. Also looking at clouds, but light weather at this point Doesn't look like anything major for the day. And looking ahead into central and southern Florida, also just some showers and maybe some thunderstorms offshore, but much of the weather across the Florida Peninsula will be fine for the next couple of days. Some fog in the Atlanta area and in Dallas-Fort Worth, but that will be improving as we head.

Throughout the daytime Rainy weather in the Chicago area. Also rain in Minneapolis-St Paul. The snowy conditions will be in the western portions of the Dakotas and northern Montana. West Coast still with rainy weather from San Francisco all the way up to Portland and up into Seattle Tacoma. It will be rainy on Friday even into Saturday. Central and Southern California the weather a little bit better. La just clouds and temperatures ranging into the 50s. On your Friday Once again for the Northeast Carter though a beautiful day for today, but there is the possibility of some ice tonight and then it looks like rainy weather coming our way for Saturday and Sunday of the weekend. Much of the nation will have a lot of moisture and warmer conditions over the next several days. I'm your Roger C Pelletierian, I'm the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing tomorrow. Take care.
