Speaker 1:

Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Sunday. It is the 23rd day in the month of March 2025. We're really getting down to the end of this month of March, a month that's showing temperatures well above normal, precipitation near normal and, of course, snowfall in the mid-Atlantic and northeast below normal. That's because of all the mild conditions that we've had. East below normal. That's because of all the mild conditions that we've had, and it looks like there is the possibility that there might be a little bit of rain and snow in some places across northeastern Pennsylvania, new York State and southern New England sometime around midweek. But then, as we head towards the end of the week, unsettled weather continues and you'll notice that we're going to be having these rain showers from time to time, and that's the atmosphere starting to get into a more of an April mode.

Speaker 1:

We talk about April showers bring May flowers. Well, the showers not necessarily just overcast and low pressures and days and days of rain. That's usually because of cold air aloft and the warming sun the ever-growing stronger late March, early April sun. It heats up the lower atmosphere, makes it very unstable, it squeezes out just about every moisture and they more or less come in as a form of showers. We had some of those showers during the daytime in many places on Saturday afternoon, probably between 4 and about 6 pm, but they were very light and the skies were partly cloudy at the time of the showers were happening. You're going to see more and more of that as we head towards the end of this month and into the new month of April upcoming.

Speaker 1:

In the meantime, taking a look around the weather situation for the northeast corner, it looks like generally fair skies from DC up to New York for at least a good portion of your Sunday, but by Sunday evening clouds will move in. Another weather front will be approaching That'll bring us more of those late March showers for the evening hours, or overnight I should say, into Monday and with temperatures during the daytime on Sunday only near 50, dropping back into the middle 30s. So there will be some chilly readings and the possibility of some mixed precipitation across New York State, much of central and northern New England, as this cold front moves through. Temperatures on Monday with clouds and showers early, then some clearing in the afternoon, could range between mostly in the 50s, could get up to near 60 by Tuesday it'll be sunny, also back into the 50s, which is a little bit closer to normal for this time of year.

Speaker 1:

If you're traveling on this, sunday looks like good weather in Atlanta and Charlotte and Chicago. No problems there. Houston, dallas, fort Worth no problems In Chicago. Minneapolis, st Paul generally dry conditions, although in Minnesota it looks like some rain will be moving into there sometime during the evening and overnight hours. Sunday into Monday there looks like some rain will be moving into there sometime during the evening and overnight hours. Sunday into Monday. West Coast is looking dry. La, san Francisco, san Diego, all the way up to Portland looking generally dry, but there is going to be some occasional rain and showers in Seattle, tacoma during the latter portion of today and tonight. New change there. Those storms continue to move in from the North Pacific In a wee time. We've got generally a fair day coming up for today. Look for an increase in clouds and that possibility of some showers overnight tonight and during the daytime on Monday. I'm Steve Pelletieri. Thanks for listening. I'll talk to you first thing on Monday. Have a great day.
