Thunder in the East, Snow in the West: Today's National Forecast

Speaker 1:

Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pellicieri and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Monday. It's the last day of the month of March 2025 and we're looking at some changes up on the eastern seaboard before rain and moisture and snow in the mountains. Across to the west, a tremendous area of low pressure moving into the Pacific Northwest. That's causing rain along the coast and then, and of course, in the higher elevations, the mountainous regions, the eastern portions of Oregon and Washington and even in sections of Montana, utah and even Idaho. Down in sections of Wyoming you're also getting into that. Heavy snow bands in the higher elevations, with rain to the south and rain in the lower spots as well. Well, that ill going to eventually head into the eastern half of the nation, but in the meantime in the east the frontal system lines up from about central Louisiana right up through central Pennsylvania and then into eastern New England. Some sections of New England during the weekend received up to 8 inches of snow. On Saturday that was in sections of central and northern New York, the Adirondacks, central and northern Vermont, new Hampshire and even sections of Maine. Between 8 and 10 inches of snow in and around Essex County, vermont, in and around Burlington and Shelbourne. Those places showed a lot of melting during the daytime today as the next frontal system will be arriving, with the probability of rain later in the day and during the evening hours on Monday. Some of those showers and thunderstorms associated with the front due to move through sometime between 6 and 10 pm from west to east will be locally heavy with some strong gusty winds and heavy downpours. That'll be on Monday night, mostly cloudy day daytime as our temperatures recover back into the upper 50s, low to mid 60s in most places, with clouds and the rain. But high pressure is going to be building in from the Great Lakes and that's going to bring some very nice weather to the east by later Tuesday and Wednesday when temperatures will be at seasonable levels for the first day of April and into midweek.

Speaker 1:

If you're flying on this Monday, it looks like some heavy weather in central and eastern portions of the nation. So Atlanta will be having some thunderstorms but they'll be ending by the latter portion of the day. In Charlotte it will be overcast with rain. Also rainy weather, especially in the afternoon and evening hours. New York, philadelphia and Baltimore locally severe thunderstorms sometime between 5 pm and 10 pm on Monday and then eventually at the Boston area, that frontal system will move through with some heavy rains, high pressures, across Wisconsin, northern Illinois. So Chicago's looking good, minneapolis, st Paul, also looking pretty good and as a matter of fact, over the next couple of days that weather will remain good from the Great Lakes eastward.

Speaker 1:

But that big storm looming out of the Pacific Northwest that'll be moving eastward and it's going to catch some of that colder air coming down out of Canada causing some snow in northern plain states and even portions of the Great Lakes sometime by later Tuesday. In the meantime our weather for today is clouds, for the most part eastern seaboard and that rainy situation with thunderstorms as the cold front moves through this evening. Better weather moving into the east during the daytime on Tuesday. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on that first day of April. Take care.
