Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman . Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom On this Monday . It is the sixth day of the month of January and we've got some snowy weather across the northeast . Looks like this area of low pressure that's currently moving across eastern Tennessee and moving into North Carolina . Well , this northern portion , this northern branch , does have areas of snow that looks like it's going to last from about central Kentucky right up through Ohio , into Pennsylvania , maryland , including Washington DC , where they're going to be receiving between five and eight inches of snowfall and even the possibility of some sleet , and even up into Philadelphia and New York City . Philadelphia , probably between two and four inches , but looks like maybe , according to , as much as a couple of inches . In central and northern New Jersey , new York City , probably going to get about an inch of snow from the system which mainly is staying to the south . So it's a very fine line from where it's going to be snowing where it's not going to be snowing , and that's during the daytime on Monday , probably sometime between about 8 am in the morning and about 4 pm in the afternoon . The storm moves offshore very quickly and high pressure currently moving down into the central and southern plain states will be gradually moving eastward , replacing the area of low pressure , and remain into some arctic air and some cold conditions for a good balance of this week . So if you're flying into the New York area , philadelphia or DC and Baltimore , it looks like we will have some extensive delays because of the snowfall during the daytime on Monday . By Monday evening , though , the whole situation will start to improve and up in the Boston area it looks like they'll stay on the dry side with most of the precipitation staying to the south , so no problems there . Chicago , some snow showers been a strong northeast wind coming right off of Lake Michigan and that's going to cause some snow showers there and in Central and Southern Florida it looks like areas of rain showers from a cold front will eventually sweep through the peninsula and it looks like they're going to have below normal temperatures for a few days there . But the weather situation in Florida for a flying not too bad for the afternoon and evening hours on Monday .

In Texas , high pressure is building in so it's dry but chilly from Houston to Dallas , all the way up to Amarillo , west to El Paso and in the northern plains states . Up in Minnesota Looks like they're going to have generally fair skies but very cold temperatures only in the teens and single digits across one of those areas , west Coast , showing dry conditions . From San Diego up to Los Angeles , also San Francisco , portland and even up in Seattle the weather's dry . The series of storms seems to have taken a little bit of a break but they're due to come back later on this week . So for the northeast corner looks like the heaviest snow will be from DC up to Baltimore , to Wilmington and Philadelphia , and then eastward up into the central and northern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula , westward through the central mountainous areas of West Virginia and southern Pennsylvania , southern Pennsylvania , basically from Pittsburgh right up through Redding and York and then eastward right up to Philadelphia , northward up just to around Trenton , where they'll have a couple of inches of snowfall , but further south to the center , close regard to the DC area , philadelphia , northward up just to around Trenton , where they'll have a couple of inches of snowfall , but further south to the center , closer to the DC area . That's where the heaviest snows will be on Monday .
