Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman . Thanks for checking into the weathermanpodcom on your Friday , third day of the month of January 2025 . It looks like the nation's taking up a wintry scene . High pressure is building south from the Dakotas and the western Great Lakes . It's spilling down right through the central plains and the central Mississippi River Valley . That's causing colder temperatures below normal readings from Kentucky down to Tennessee , even into Alabama , mississippi and even down as far as the Gulf Coast . Well , that high-pressure system is going to be building eastward Yet another frontal system currently working its way across the northern Great Lakes . We'll be arriving in the east and will reinforce the cold air . It's always bringing a lot of snow shower and snow flow reaction . That's just the east of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and the eastern portions of Lake Michiganie and Lake Ontario and the eastern portions of Lake Michigan , huron and Superior , and that looks like that'll continue right in through Saturday as that cold weather continues to filter down from Canada . In the meantime , out in the west , you know those big storms that are moving into the Pacific Northwest when they go over the Rockies , over Idaho , eastern sections of Washington and Oregon State and then into Montana and the Dakotas and now even into Nebraska and Iowa . There's going to be some heavy snows and blizzard conditions across South Dakota and much of Montana , much of western sections of Wyoming , northern Utah , including Salt Lake City , and also just about a good portion of central and northern Idaho . That storm will eventually spill into the central plain states and die out just a bit , but possibly arrive in the eastern seaboard and give the nation's capital the possibility of maybe a foot of snow . Sometime on Sunday night or on Monday it may move a little bit further north , maybe a little bit further south , but right now the central and eastern portion of the weekend and central portion of the nation is going to be under fair but cold conditions right through the weekend , through Sunday , and that storm will be arriving in the eastern seaboard . Right now , though , it's pretty good blizzard conditions in Montana , our high temperatures in New York probably getting up to about 35 to 40 . Dc up to around 40 . Boston area low to mid 30s , all with fair skies and a few snow showers or flurries . Off to the west and north the Poconos and the Catskills . Looking ahead to Saturday , it'll be mostly sunny and a little bit colder 30 to 35 . And Sunday sunshine , then that increasing clouds . There is the possibility of some snow in Philadelphia and New York City , but on the lighter side most of the heavier snows look at this point to be in Baltimore and DC , but we'll have more on that as the weekend continues . Check into the withermanpodcom . On both Saturday and Sunday We'll update you on that .

Mid-atlantic and northeast weather . If you are flying on this Friday it looks like gusty conditions in Newark , new York , probably slowing things down just a bit . See , newark has this 1129 runway that they have to use when the winds are strong out of the northwest , and sometimes they'll approach the southwest runway and then break it off , go over Jersey City and then right in there . It tends to slow things down because it's not a parallel runway . Similar situation over in New York and also at , of course , jfk has so many runways there it doesn't seem to be a bigger problem , but it does cause a lot of low-level turbulence . So there will be some delays in and around that area . Baltimore and DC not so much . It looks . So there will be some delays in and around that area . Baltimore and DC not so much . Looks like decent conditions there .

Boston also looking pretty good , atlanta's dry , charlotte's dry , much of central and south Florida , although turning a little bit colder . Over the next several days we're going to get some of this colder air . The weather situation is going to be dry and no problems flying into there . Houston some fog and showers . Dallas-fort Worth generally good weather . Chicago just cold and windy and no problems aviation-wise there . Minneapolis , st Paul okay right now but it could be some snow moving in later . Saturday and Sunday West Coast dry , san Diego , la and San Francisco , but rainy weather in Portland and Seattle . I'm meteorologist Steve Pelletieria and I am the weatherman Check in throughout this weekend . We'll give you that storm movement across the nation's midsection Could be affecting the Northeast Corridor sometime Sunday night and Monday . Hope you have a great weekend , take care .
