Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Friday. It is the sixth day of the sixth month of 2025 already and we're already into meteorological summertime. That's because the sun rises early, sets late, goes high into the sky and over the northern portion of Washington State, montana, northern Idaho, north Dakota, minnesotanesota and even the northern great lakes. The sun sets quite late because of uh well, during the northern latitudes, that's where the sun is almost at 24 hours of sunshine up around the arctic circle and further closer that you get to the arctic circle, that means that the sun sets later and rises earlier 24 hours of sunshine up at the North Pole, north of the Arctic Circle. And while that really means a lot really heats up central and northern Canada and the cool air that usually comes down from there doesn't really make it, it's the warm southwestern leaves that take over and we get into easy, hot and humid conditions by the time we get into the dog days of summer later in July and August and that's coming up quickly. In the meantime, we have another hazy and humid day from DC to the Boston area with a chance just a slight chance of a shower or a thunder shower during the daylight hours. Most of it will hold off into the latter portion of the day and the evening.

We have been watching that area of low pressure that's been off the coast of Florida and Georgia but it's drifting slowly to the north and northeast. It may bring some steadier rainfall to coastal North Carolina and Virginia and even central and southern Delmarva. However, it looks like it stays to the south. It does inject a lot of cloud cover in our skies. So southern New Jersey might get some extra cloud cover, say at Brigantine, atlantic City all the way down to Cape May, and that'll probably last throughout the daytime and also on Saturday as well, because this system seems to be almost stationary across the region. So lots of clouds for the next several days.

Not as nice as it was earlier this week. Highs today, mid to upper 80s and that chance of late day and evening thunderstorms. Lows at night in the middle 60s. Daytime tomorrow, clouds and sun. A better chance or the best chance I should say of showers and thunderstorms along the eastern seaboard from Richmond up to Boston and all the way up to Portland and Augusta, maine. Also that possibility of some showers westward into Pennsylvania and the Ohio Valley, but that will slowly, gradually drift east. We do have lots of moisture over the central and northern plains states, but that's associated with heavy thunderstorms in Kansas, oklahoma and Nebraska as well, and even northern portions of Texas and eventually, as we get towards Monday, high pressure is going to try to build in, but it looks like the weather is starting to break down and almost become stationary, meaning we could have an extended period of some moist weather or at least a lot of cloud cover for the next several days.

If you're flying today, it looks good in Atlanta and also at Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. Most of the heavy thunderstorms will be over western Oklahoma and the northern panhandle of Texas, amarillo, northwood up to Lubbock and also some scattered light showers offshore. San Diego it looks like San Francisco will be basically good, maybe a little bit of early clouds and fog, a late-day shower, but most of the time it's going to just be typically California and dry. Looks like good weather up in Portland and Seattle as well. Chicago not bad. Looks like rainy weather for the Minneapolis-St Paul area and central and south Florida just typical rains that they normally expect this time of year. I'm your manager, steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman.
