Northeast Weather System Overview

Speaker 0

We're going to see everybody . We're going to get together today , so it should be quite fine , but the weather is not the greatest in the Northeast . As a matter of fact , from about central and northern New York State , all the way down through the Carolinas and actually even a little bit westward into the Tennessee Valley . That includes Kentucky and Tennessee . Nashville , of course , it looks like area of low pressure is causing lots of cloud cover and rain . It's a persistent east wind from New York City all the way down to Brigantine and Cape May , down to Dewey Beach and even down to Pocomoke City all the way down into southern end of the Delmarva Peninsula . We've got some very chilly weather and the good possibility of some rain . Today , temperatures are going to be only in the 50s . This

type of situation , when it comes off the ocean , always keeps it almost steady upper 40s , low to middle 50s . That's a chilly rain . Off to the north , up in central and northern New York where there could be a little bit of ice , up in the Adirondacks and extreme northern portions of Vermont , however , it looks like more rain will be heavy at times during the evening hours . This is because that low pressure over central North Carolina is going to intensify just off the south Jersey coast With some rain . Maybe one to two inches of rain moves on through . That high pressure Currently across the Great Lakes extending down to the Gulf of Mexico will bring in some very nice weather , but on the cool side as we head towards the second half of the weekend or early next week . But it's going to probably take that long .

This storm meandering around the eastern seaboard looks like it's going to stay for a while Elsewhere across the nation , central and south Florida looking pretty good , looking at fine weather in Texas Gulf Coast , from Brownsville all the way up to Houston and then off toward the northwest into Dallas-Fort Worth and Amarillo , weather's looking generally dry . Chicago's looking dry but chilly . Chilly weather up in Minnesota as well , and the Dakotas . On the west coast it's dry in LA , san Diego , san Francisco and that storm has finally moved over the central and eastern Rockies . So Portland and Seattle A little bit of cloud cover , but maybe a few sprinkles , but nothing or no torrential rains

are expected .

So again , if you're flying on this Friday , it looks like IFR weather across coastal and eastern Carolinas . That includes central and western portions of North Carolina , charlotte down to Columbia , south Carolina and also in Atlanta having some showers as well . But elsewhere across the nation no problem weather-wise getting in or out , but again , as I mentioned , the New York City , philadelphia , baltimore and DC area , all with IFR conditions . So that means at least the minimum of a half to possibly an hour delay , maybe more in each particular situation . I'm your volunteer , steve Pelletier , and I am the weatherman . Hope you have a great day today and we'll talk to you first thing on .
