July 14th's Flash Floods Remind Us of Nature's Power
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.
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 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 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.
