Hi, this is BD Roger, steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Happy New Year everyone. It is the first day of January 2025, on your Wednesday, and here is the weather situation across the nation. It looks like generally fair skies from the mid-Atlantic states all the way down to Florida, westward into Texas and into the southern portions of California, from San Diego up to LA and even up into San Francisco, although San Francisco will have some showers moving in later today and tonight. Elsewhere across the nation we have a strong northwesterly flow. Across Chicago it's going to be a dry day, but over the eastern shores of Lake Michigan, lake Huron, lake Superior, there will be lake effect snow showers, especially across eastern portions of Lake Erie and Ontario where some hefty areas of snow showers are expected to be there. There's a lot of ice that is starting to form across Lake Michigan and also over Lake Superior and Huron. That's why the lake effect snow showers will be a little bit less. There's still some open waters. That's causing the snow shower and snow squalls lake effect snow situation there. But it's less so across Erie and Ontario where it's just not frozen just yet. So some of those strong northwesterly winds will continue in those regions and it looks like a very cold weather for the next at least 20 days. It's going to be at least a little bit colder than normal, more milder than it has been over the last several days, just for today, and then we really get into some colder conditions, gradually reaching the deepest cold sometime between the 8th and the 14th.

Weather situation with the Northeast corridor looks like windy conditions, wind advisory in effect. So that's going to cause some delays If you're traveling into the New York area or away from the New York area. There will be extensive inbound and outbound delays because of the strong winds. That's going to be the same thing for Baltimore, philly, new York, laguardia, jfk and also Newark, especially in Newark where they have to use that northwesterly runway. And up in the Boston area it looks like overcast and rainy weather there. Winds not too strong just yet, but that will cause also some icing aloft. That also causes a little bit of a slowdown. Most of your lake-affected snow showers and squalls will be from about Poughkeepsie northward in New York State up to Albany and Saratoga and northward up to Masega and Plattsburgh, westward all the way out to Rochester and Buffalo and even in northwestern Pennsylvania and Erie, northeastern sections of Ohio and just to the east of Cleveland. There will be some heavy snows today, but for tonight it will be generally clear, the winds will subside. It looks like dry weather for Thursday and Friday and temperatures again, as mentioned, will be gradually cooler and, until the weekend, highs only 30 to 35-fold.

Speaker 1: 2:36

Saturday and Sunday for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on this upcoming first weekend of 2025, first weekend of January. In the meantime, it looks like a pretty good day for today, but just windy. Hope you have a good new year and hope that everything comes your way this year better year this year. Let's look, we look up forward and, with that in mind, I want to thank you for always tuning into the weatherman pod here. We do it every day and it's available probably a little bit after midnight Sometimes, when we have those big storms. We are going to update, of course, with big northeasters or the maybe blizzards that may occur across the mid-Atlantic and northeast, of course the hurricanes that would be covered through the fall season and, with all that in mind, again, just very thankful that you all are checking in to listen to the Weatherman Pod on this first day of January 2025. Have a great day. Happy New Year.
