Heat Wave Warning

Stephen Pellettiere
Speaker 1:

Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the Weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Monday, 23rd day of the month of June 2025. And an area of thunderstorms worked its way out of central and eastern New York State right down into the lower Hudson Valley and then across into New Jersey, new York City and Philadelphia. And, because of the extra cloud cover and thunderstorms that we had during the morning hours, from a little upper level disturbance that swung on through our temperatures today did not get as warm, only in the mid to upper 80s, actually, I should say on sunday. Now today, however, the excessive heat warning will remain in effect for the northeast corner, from richmond all the way up to boston, westward out into the ohio and tenn valleys and southward through the Carolinas. Temperatures are expected to range well into the 90s to near 100 degrees. Tomorrow in the lower 100s, 100 to 105. And even on Wednesday with a slight chance of a late-day thunderstorm. Highs of around 98, should break the heat wave on Wednesday, because we are going to see temperatures just a touch cooler, near 90, on Thursday, and then on Friday, saturday and Sunday only in the 80s, with a chance of some scattered showers and thunderstorms each day, that's again across the northeast corridor. So we've got some very hot weather expected over the next several days. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid being out in direct sunlight between the hours of 10 am and 6 pm. Before that, not too bad, after that still hot, but at least you don't have the heavy sunshine. And, of course, make sure you drink plenty of fluids. We're looking at water and also non-alcoholic beverages. That's the best way to keep hydrated in this type of weather situation. The next several days Don't exert yourself, especially in the afternoon hours when the temperatures and the heat indexes are the highest. Heat index is a combination of heat and humidity and the worst of it probably going to be on Tuesday and maybe even Wednesday of this upcoming week. Now, if you are traveling on this Monday, expect your weather situation to be well about the same as it has been the last several days Scattered showers and thunderstorms across South Florida. Dry in Atlanta, but hot Also. Maybe a late-day thundershower in Charlotte, but hot. New York City, boston all dry and hot. Temperatures in the upper 90s lower 100s. Looks like an approaching frontal system will give some extra clouds to the Chicago area, but they'll probably have some showers and thunderstorms on Monday evening. Early Tuesday Dry, a little bit cooler, more reasonable and seasonable up into Minneapolis, st Paul Showers and thunderstorms in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth. West Coast dry, la, san Francisco, even Portland and Seattle probably going to be a little bit of a drying trend after the very wet pattern that they've had over the last several days, and it actually resulted in the mountains of Montana of about between six inches and 12 inches of snow in some of those higher elevations in western Montana. That's because of colder air moving down from central Canada and lots of moisture, but that's also going to start warming up around there over the next several days as well.
