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 .

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 .
