Stephen Pellettiere
Speaker 1:

Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Tuesday. It is the 15th day of July already halfway through the month of July and 2025,. Well, so far this month has been above normal, with temperatures just about near normal with rainfall, but there were some heavy thunderstorms, especially during the afternoon, early evening hours on Monday, that caused flood warnings and some highway and street flooding and even some damaging winds from some heavy thunderstorms that rumbled through mainly central portions of New Jersey, southern Pennsylvania, northern sections of Maryland, delmarva, and even into New York City and Long Island. There were some heavy storms as well.

Speaker 1:

Well, during the daytime today we have a stationary front that extends from just to the west of Boston right through Newark and down into Trenton and then down into Baltimore just north of DC. The frontal system then goes as a warm front across central and southern Ohio, illinois and Indiana. In the meantime, upper level low pressure systems over central and south Florida be causing heavy showers and thunderstorms along the peninsula, especially in the east coast during the afternoon and evening hours. Today, high pressure centered generally across the eastern tennessee valley but because it's so unstable aloft in the stationary front, close by thunderstorms will be forming during the afternoon evening. In the meantime we're also seeing lots of rain across montana. The dakota is in central and northern portions of minnesota, while the high pressure center just across alberta and saskatchewan, canada, also seeing lots of rain across Montana, the Dakota is in central and northern portions of Minnesota, while the high pressure center just across Alberta and Saskatchewan Canada, just starts to dip a little bit further south and may arrive in the east sometime this weekend.

Speaker 1:

But until then the weather each day is going to be about the same from DC to Boston. That means partly to mostly sunny skies daytime, the possibility of thunderstorms between 3 and 8 pm each day. Each thunderstorm could be locally heavy or severe and widely scattered. The probability is generally over 50 percent. Highs for the days will range in the upper 80s and lower 90s. Nighttime lows 70 to 75. This type of pattern expected to continue right up through Thursday of this week.

Speaker 1:

Now, if you're flying today, it looks like scattered showers and thunderstorms in Atlanta and possibly some heavy thunderstorms in Charlotte. So maybe some delays go into Charlotte today. Also looking at some delays into either Orlando, tampa, st Pete, also down to Fort Myers, fort Lauderdale and West Palm in Miami. Of course that's because of those heavy thunderstorms expected to be especially during the afternoon hours in the central and southern portion of Florida. Looking at scattered showers in Houston, but no major problems. There's hazy, hot, humid. In Dallas-Fort Worth, 90s to near 100 in each possibility of a thunderstorm Looks. Dry in San Diego, la and San Francisco. Also dry weather up in Portland and Seattle. Generally dry in Chicago, but rainy weather in Minneapolis, st Paul, during the afternoon hours. Today. I'm Eddie Rogers, steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Wednesday. See you then.
