Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletieria and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom. On your Friday. It is the 20th day the month of June. We've made it to the first day of summer. Summer solstice officially occurs at 1041, 1042 this evening, representing the high point of the sun wherever it is at high point somewhere over the Pacific, and we're looking at generally fair conditions but increasingly milder weather as we head through this weekend. And boy, it just starts summer.

And the next thing you know you got a heat wave to contend with across the northeast and that heat wave will cause temperatures to be near 100 degrees monday, tuesday, possibly even wednesday of next week, with an increasing chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms by the time we get to the middle of next week as well. But here's a weather situation for the Northeast corridor on your Friday. It looks like sunny skies, 80 to 85. Actually, sunny is going to be the best day weather-wise for the next week, I would imagine, because it just starts to heat up and get more humidity and more oppressive heat for the area. This is going to be between DC and up the Boston area. At night it'll be fairly partly cloudy as summer arrives. Overnight temperatures back to about the mid-60s and our highs tomorrow upper 80s, lower 90s across the Northeast and at night it'll be fair back to the mid-60s, although there will be some scattered showers and thunderstorms moving down through New York State into southern New England. It'll be Saturday night, early Sunday, but that basically represents a little warm front, Actually a very big warm front because it's going to get hot on Sunday highs mid-90s for the most part, near 100 degrees in some of the cities and it looks like near 100 on Monday, Tuesday and possibly even Wednesday. By Wednesday of this upcoming week we get into the chance of some scattered showers and some thunderstorms. Again, that's going to be probably around midweek of the upcoming week as we come to the end or at least the last few days of this month of June.

If you're flying today, it looks like we've got great weather into the New York area as the frontal systems have gone through. There are some showers up around Buffalo, western New York and over Lake Erie, including Erie, Pennsylvania, and sections around Cleveland and Cleveland. To the north, Detroit also going to have scattered showers and thunderstorms, as will Minneapolis-St Paul and also in Milwaukee, but Chicago's looking dry but hot and scattered showers and thunderstorms in central and south Florida, but mostly during the later afternoon and early evening Generally fair conditions at Houston and Dallas, Although there could be a few scattered showers, but nothing much. But the heat is going to be oppressive across the central Mississippi River Valley In the 90s to near 100 or the lower 100s, All because of the heat pump that's going to be continuing to move gradually eastward over the next several days. Weather-wise it's essential in Southern California. No problems weather-wise there, and it does look like some rainy weather up in Portland and Seattle and that will probably continue in through Saturday as well. So no major problems. As far as traveling is concerned, you see that most of the heaviest weather is going to be around just to the north of Minneapolis-St Paul Also, of course, essential on northern Great Lakes, North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Washington State, and it just looks like just heat continues across the nation's midsection right through early next week.
