Hi , this is Meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and thanks for checking into TheWeathermanPodcom on this 19th day of the month of January 2025 . And we've got some wintry weather across the Northeast . Looks like just the latest guidance numbers that we're seeing New York City , philadelphia and DC all going to get about four to six inches of snowfall , all associated with , first , an Arcticctic front moving through , then a secondary area of low pressure forming along that frontal system , then traveling toward the northeast . Now along the jersey shore from , say , sandy hook all the way down to cape , may probably will be in a form of some rain to start . I've seen some situations where , even with the coldest air moving in , it always seems to rain within a couple of miles of the jersey shore , but then eventually the upper level winds and the surface winds become about the same , more of a northwesterly direction and it brings down those temperatures . So even there you're looking at maybe as much as 4 or 5 inches in sections of Asbury Park all the way up to Sandy Hook and into the New Brunswick area of New Jersey . Down in DC it looks like about four to six inches for Inauguration Day It'll probably be fair and cold , but lots of snow on the ground . That's why they moved it indoors . It's going to be brustly and cold for Dr Martin Luther King Day and even from New England all the way down to the Mid-Atlantic and , well , the southern and eastern Ohio Valley Looking at some places , between seven and 10 inches of snowfall from this storm .

Hey , it's wintertime . It's about time that it happened . Looks like the Arctic high pressure system is moving in . It looks like Monday , tuesday and Wednesday temperatures only in the teens to near 20 . Nighttime lows in a single digit . Very cold Midwinter very blustery cold conditions for the northeast elsewhere across the nation .

If you're going to be traveling on this sunday , it looks like it's going to be kind of tough on the new york , newark , laguardia , jfk and even up into the boston area because of the expected snowfall , especially in the afternoon and evening . Down in dc the snow should be tapering off by the later afternoon hours , but still snow must boston and new york linger into the evening hours . So some problems or even delays or cancellations if you're going into those places or trying to leave from those places as well . The plane's got to get in in order to go out . If you can't get in , that's what causes all those cancellations .

Speaker 1 2:19

So some snow showers in atlanta , also in the uh charlotte area , looking at the possibility of windy and cold weather for the daytime . In the central and southern portions of Florida there will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms , with a strong cold front even moving through the Keys . It looks like dry but cold weather in Houston and Dallas and Amarillo , northward up to St Louis and even into the Chicago area , minneapolis , st Paul just clear but bitter cold , single digits minus figures out that way and along the whole West Coast . It's a series of low-pressure systems that are keeping winds generally around the east . Now central and northern portions of California send east by slightly southeast winds , so not so much of a problem there . But if that ever drifts further south and starts to shift off to the east , that can bring those Santa Ana winds once again down into central and southern California . Let's hope that does not happen . But there will be scattered showers and also some snow squalls across Idaho , sections of Montana , montana into Colorado and Wyoming . Heavy amounts of snow in some of those mountain areas there , but elsewhere across the nation it's just a very cold weather pattern coming in for your Sunday , monday and Tuesday .

I'm Eddie Rogers , steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman . Hope you have a great day today . We'll update the weather forecast during the afternoon on Sunday . It really looks like a tough day , a late-day Sunday and Sunday evening across the Northeast . See you then .
