Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Saturday, 21st day of the month of June 2025. We have the first full day of summertime, the summer solstice occurring during the evening hours on Friday. And boy I'll tell you, after having generally benign weather or actually even cool kind of damp weather for the early portion of June, and then gradually heating up in the east, it's been very hot across the Midwest and northern Plain States. Eventually, now that's moving to the east, it looks like summer is going to come in with a real strong push. Over the next several days we're going to have excessive heat warnings and heat advisories to continue, probably right up and through Wednesday and Thursday. This will be from DC right up to the Boston area and many places across the nation's midsection to the east. Our temperatures will be well above normal over the next several days. Today, though, not too bad for the northeast. There is a slight chance of a late day or evening thundershower on Saturday. Otherwise just sunny weather from DC up to Boston, temperatures varying between the 80s in Boston to about 90 in New York City, 93, 94, baltimore and DC, and then on Sunday, temperatures back into the mid to upper 90s. Monday it'll range to near 100 to 105. And that'll be for all the major cities across the eastern seaboard and into the Midwest. And it looks like the heat index values, which is a combination of temperature and humidity, will be up there around 105 as we head towards Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Now we do see some frontal systems that are trying to push on through towards the end of this week and that hopefully will bring us out of the heat wave, but it is going to be about four very brutal days, the worst of which being Monday, tuesday and Wednesday, with excessive heat and humidity across the Northeast.

If you are, however, traveling on this Saturday, looking at pretty good weather in the Atlanta area. Also in Charlotte, no problems weather-wise there, except for just temperatures near 90 and fair skies. It looks like decent conditions in New York City, except for the possibility of maybe some thunderstorms at night. Boston also looking pretty good Dry but hot weather in Chicago. Hot in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, but dry St Louis. About the same West Coast showing dry conditions in San Diego, los Angeles and San Francisco, but rainy weather across the Pacific Northwest, from Portland to Seattle, extending all the way into western Montana and the northern portions of the Dakotas. I'm your host, steve Pelletier, and I'm the weatherman. Hope you have a great Saturday. Get set for sweat. It's going to be hot in the northeast over the next several days. Today highs near 90, but well into the 90s near 100 on Sunday, right up through Monday and Tuesday and possibly even Wednesday of this upcoming week. Take care, talk to you first thing tomorrow.
