Northeast Temperature Update

Speaker 1

Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the Weatherman . Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom On your Sunday . It is the 20th of July 2025 . Two-thirds of the way through this month . Let's take a quick look around . What's going on ?

Speaker 1

Dc up to Philadelphia , new York City and even up to the Boston area , temperatures are averaging about 1 . Half to two degrees above normal . I can't go by Newark Liberty International Airport . When they changed where their thermometer is and all their weather packs were , they're up usually by the north terminal years ago . Now it's sort of like right along the Jersey Turnpike and you got what ? 12 lanes of cars going north to south and around that area . So it's a different type of climate there . So they're showing four degrees above normal . It's four degrees above what they used to be . When they consider the normal for Newark International Airport , of course it is also a little bit on the hot side there , but basically most precipitation is a little bit above normal

July 14th Rainfall Analysis

Speaker 1

.

Speaker 1

There are a few places that did not get the big storms of July 14th . July 14th was an interesting day . We saw some places in northern New Jersey where the amounts of rainfall were about less than half an inch . Similar situation in southeast New York and much of southern New England . However , new York City got two inches of rain , about two and a half inches in the Newark area , union County . Many places in Union County , new Jersey , received between four and six inches of rain during the later afternoon and evening hours . It caused widespread flash flooding . That was on the 14th of July and so far this month . So you're finding that most rainfall amounts are a little bit above normal .

Speaker 1

We do have some great weather coming up over the next couple of days , actually the next

Weather Forecast For Coming Days

Speaker 1

several days . However , we do have a frontal system moving through today . That frontal system is aligned across the central and northern Ohio Valley , extending down through the central Mississippi River Valley , with a little area of low pressure . But the high pressure that's pushing it our way is located just north of the Great Lakes . The high pressure that's pushing it our way is located just north of the Great Lakes , just north of Sault Ste Marie , in southern portions of Saskatchewan and southern Ontario , and it's pushing towards the east , southeast , and will continue to move right towards us , probably passing over New York State and southern New England over the next several days . But it does mean drier conditions , more comfortable weather on Monday and Tuesday , but first a hot day today 90 to 95 in Philly , new York .

Speaker 1

Up in the Boston area , probably closer to about 88 . Dc could get up to about 93 . Late day and evening . Thunderstorms are likely on your Sunday , but overnight it will clear . Temperatures will drop back into the 60s . You'll notice the difference on Monday and Tuesday .

Speaker 1

Remember the 4th of July this year ? We had some excellent weather around the Northeast . Similar situation coming up for Monday and Tuesday Low humidity , bright sunshine , fair weather , clouds , northwest winds Just perfect July weather coming our way that starts to heat up by later Wednesday and Thursday . It'll be back into the 90s . Thursday and Friday this week . Maybe another frontal system working its way through on Saturday of this upcoming week and that should set the stage for some nice weather . Second half of the weekend and the early last few days of the month of July . We're getting close to that and only 10 more days . 11 more days left to the month of July and it's going fast . But we've got some great weather coming .

Speaker 1

If you are flying today , it does look like the frontal system is going to be past

Flight Delays Across Major Airports

Speaker 1

Chicago . It had some showers and thunderstorms earlier today , but it looks like another round for the early morning today and then a clearing trend in the afternoon . Fair weather up in Minneapolis , st Paul , not too bad . Down in Florida , atlanta is going to have some thunderstorms , some delays into their New York area . Probably no delays early , but late in the day and at night there'll be some showers and thunderstorms and it'll slow things down into Newark , laguardia and JFK . Up in the Boston area , overcast and some rainy weather there . So that's going to cause some delays . Up in Boston , houston , dry . Dallas-fort Worth hot and dry , dry weather into LA , san Diego , san Francisco , even though a low pressure is approaching the Pacific Northwest , just a lot of cloud cover . Dry conditions for today in Portland and Seattle . I'm your moderator , steve Pelletier , and I am the weatherman . Hope you have a great day today . Look forward to that great weather on Monday and Tuesday of this week . See you then .
