Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Tuesday, 24th day in the month of June and the extreme heat warning continues for the northeast right up and through Wednesday. Now we do see a frontal system working its way out of the Great Lakes. It's going to cross into central Pennsylvania, central New Jersey, probably pass through much of New York State and probably go right over the city. That's going to set up a little bit of an east flow and may break some of the heat, but to the south it's going to be hot. To the north it's a question mark by later in the day on Tuesday and Wednesday. As a matter of fact, by the time we get to Thursday of this week, that frontal system will eventually move offshore into the east and high pressure currently across the western Great Lakes will start to build into the region and we get back into more normal weather patterns as we end the month of June. As a matter of fact, we're going to get into the increased chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms by Friday, with temperatures in the 70s and also highs only generally of about 85 to 90 for Sunday and Monday of next week, each day with the possibility of some thunderstorms as that Bermuda High sets up along the eastern seaboard. But as for today, with high temperatures close to 100 in many of the major cities across the northeast and on Wednesday with temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and the possibility of those thunderstorms, with that frontal system arriving in the area later in the day on Wednesday, even into Thursday, the possibility of some showers, as temperatures on Thursday hover only in the upper 80s because of the extra cloud cover and also some scattered showers. If you are traveling on this Tuesday it looks like hot but dry weather in Atlanta, some scattered showers and thunderstorms during the afternoon in Charlotte, but nothing major. Also dry weather in the New York Newark area. No problems for Newark, jfk and LaGuardia as far as the thunderstorms or low clouds are concerned. But because of the extreme heat it takes planes a little bit longer to get off the runway and get into the air because of what's called the density altitude. When it gets hotter there's less air under the wings to cause lift and of course that tends to slow things down just a bit. And that's what you can be expecting in those places, especially for takeoff landings. Generally no problems there. Also in the Boston area looking at the possibility of some heat and humidity Low to mid-90s expected for Boston, all with fair skies. If you're heading towards Texas, it looks like Dallas will be fine, but it looks like showers and thunderstorms in the Houston area. Overcast and rainy in Chicago, the frontal system hanging up just south of the area, so there will be some locally severe weather and some delays into either Midway or O'Hare. It looks like dry conditions out in Minneapolis, st Paul and much of California, all under fair conditions. Portland looking fair Looks like some rainy weather. Moving back in to Seattle Tacoma later in the day on Tuesday I'm Eddie Ronson, steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman.

Heat and humidity a hot one today, as temperatures range close to 100 degrees. Heat index values up to 108. That's a combination of heat and humidity and sunshine. Keep yourself cool and well hydrated with water and seek the shade air conditioning whenever you can get it. Don't exert yourself in the afternoon sun. I'm Steve Pelletieri. Talk to you first thing tomorrow. Take care.
