Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletieri. I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Monday. It's a holiday Monday, president's Day, washington's birthday celebration. It's our temperatures.

Speaker 1: 0:10

Today We'll be cold all across the mid-Atlantic and northeast. It's the 17th day of February and after having some stormy conditions over the week, we now have a very strong northwesterly wind that's going to continue to give us wind gusts up over 40 to 45 miles per hour from DC up to the Boston area, as that area of low pressure gave us all the ice and then rain, is now across the Canadian Maritimes and expected to continue off into the Dakotas. That's going to bring us fair but cold weather for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast for the next three days. But after that area of low pressure currently working its way across the Pacific Northwest, We'll dive deep south, reorganize and then head almost due east by northeast and possibly be a very strong storm around the eastern seaboard on Thursday. A little bit of a question right now whether or not it's going to be further to the south and move offshore and basically keep the northeast on the dry side.

If you are traveling on this Monday, it looks like good weather down in Atlanta and in Charlotte. However, the New York area airports, philadelphia included. Also up in the Boston area will be hampered by the strong winds out of the west-northwest. Some wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour slows things down the west northwest some wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour slows things down during the daytime or evening hours. I should say on sunday we had some delays into the new york area airports of up to three hours and similar situations down in baltimore and philadelphia and also up into boston area, although a little bit less to the south as the winds are lighter in those places. But if you are traveling to uh anywhere making that hub around Atlanta or Charlotte, weather's going to be good. Central and South Florida not bad. There will be some occasional showers across the Miami and Fort Lauderdale area but that will be drifting further south. That frontal system has gone through there so it's a little bit cooler across the Florida Peninsula.

Speaker 1: 1:58

On Monday Looks like fair conditions in Texas too San Antonio across up to Houston, then Dallas-Fort Worth and all the way up to Amarillo looking at fair but cold conditions as that high pressure spills down into the region. Pacific Northwest looks like rainy weather for Seattle and also for Portland, but dry conditions for San Francisco and LA. No problems there. The heavy snows are across central and western Montana, central and northern Idaho and even portions of Utah, wyoming and Colorado, and it's even spreading down into South Dakota at least the southwestern corner of South Dakota and over Nebraska and sections of Kansas, and that's going to be spreading eastward gradually over the next few days.

Speaker 1: 2:37

In the meantime, though, for the New York area it looks like we are going to have fair skies but windy and cold weather. Highs only 30 to 35. Those winds is going to make it feel like the single digits, so we'll bundle up weather Clear and cold at night in the middle teens. Tuesday and Wednesday sunshine both days. Diminished winds, highs each day near 30. We're looking at that possibility of some snow from DC up to the Boston area sometime on Thursday or Friday of this week. I'll be back with a detailed forecast again tomorrow at this time.
