Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom. On your Wednesday. It's the 19th day of the month of March 2025. Strong southwesterly flow developing along the eastern seaboard and high pressure anchored just offshore means that we're going to have some pretty good weather, at least for today. But there'll be an increase in some clouds in the northeast corner, from Richmond northward to DC, philadelphia, new York and up to the Boston area, looking generally dry, warmest temperatures of course, further south into central and northern Virginia, where highs have reached the mid to upper 60s, generally near 60 degrees up in the Boston area, but again with sunshine. Then an increase in clouds for your Wednesday At night it's going to be cloudy and there'll be some drizzle and fog too, because a southeast wind will develop and that could keep our temperatures and conditions moist into the morning hours on Thursday.

Thursday, a frontal system currently across the nation's midsection will be arriving. It'll go through sometime between 9 pm and 1 am Thursday night. Early Friday. Some residual showers may even linger into the early going on Friday afternoon. But then we're looking at fair skies to continue right through this weekend with near normal temperatures. But then we're looking at fair skies to continue right through this weekend with near normal temperatures. Now, near normal for this time of year from DC up to the Boston area usually means highs in the upper 40s and low to middle 50s For daytime, nighttime readings generally in the 30s. So that's what we're probably going to have this upcoming weekend Just an area of some rain for Thursday night, early Friday, then a clearing and dry flow. A clearing and dry flow. But this area of low pressure that's currently moving into the nation's midsection will cause snow in sections of well, the northern Great Lakes, from Lake Superior down into central and northern Wisconsin, central and southern Wisconsin and into sections of Minnesota and northwestern portions of Iowa, sioux City and both Sioux City, iowa and down into Omaha, nebraska. See the possibility of several inches of snow and ice from this storm as it quickly moves on through. In the meantime, high pressure is building down into Texas and across much of the Rocky Mountain states and dry weather from San Diego up to LA and up to central California. However, increasing clouds for San Francisco and looks like some rain at night and rainy weather for Portland and the Seattle area later today and tonight.

If you're flying, looks like good weather into Atlanta, into Charlotte, no problem. Into Florida, both Houston and Dallas will look fine. Chicago's going to be overcast with rain. There'll be some delays going into there because of the low pressure and the storm moving in there. Could be extensive delays in Minneapolis-St Paul because of the winter storm that's going to be occurring there, I think I mentioned. They're going to get several inches of snow and some places even over six to eight inches of snow and ice because of that storm out there. So similar situation. Sioux City you're looking at, maybe between five and ten inches of snow or more, and into Omaha about the same. Eastern sections of Kansas also rain and snow in those places, but it does look dry in LA and San Francisco, but rainy weather. There's no big change there up in the Seattle-Tacoma area for later Wednesday. I'm your Roger, steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Thursday. Take care.
