Introduction and Current Conditions

Speaker 0

Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman . Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Thursday . It's the 24th day in the month of July 2025 and things are starting to heat up across the northeast . We've had some beautiful weather from central portions of Virginia all the way up to southern Maine . Some great weather conditions for the last several days . As high pressure built right down from Canada , moved right across the region . Now it's moving offshore . The return flow of southerly winds is going to start heating things up . So , after some excellent weather on Tuesday and Wednesday , it looks like we're going to have things start to heat up a bit up near 90 degrees 90 to 93 degrees in New York City , about 93 also in Philadelphia , 95 down in Baltimore and DC , all with that hazy sunshine starting to develop across the region on your Thursday

Excessive Heat Warnings Coming

Speaker 0

afternoon , thursday evening . Real problem is tomorrow , excessive heat warnings are going to be up , probably for the afternoon hours , as temperatures will range in the 95 to 101 range , depending upon where you are . Of course , in the cities , all that concrete and macadam , the sun beating down on it with hardly any cloud cover it really causes things to heat up quite a bit . That's where your heat index values will be up to about 105 . That's a combination of temperature and humidity , but he adds to that the fact that the ground is retaining a lot of the heat that forms , especially in the cities . It gets quite tough . So take it slow and easy . Plenty of liquids and fluids , water is best , and loose-fitting clothing of light color and material always best . And don't exert yourself during the afternoon hours . That's why you're going to have an excessive heat warning in effect for the area on Friday . Again , temperatures of about 95 to 101 , 102 , depending upon where

Weekend Forecast and Frontal System

Speaker 0

you are . By Saturday a frontal system currently across the Great Lakes , will be moving eastward . That will be giving us the possibility of some late day and evening thunderstorms , but temperatures will still manage to get up to around 90 or 92 . So on Sunday temperatures will cool back a bit . That frontal system will go across the region , possibly become stationary across the area , and that will set us up with a slightly cooler flow but a better chance of showers and thunderstorms expected for Sunday into Sunday night .

Anywhere south of Lake Okeechobee across to Fort Myers on the west coast , down to Miami and Fort Lauderdale and West Palm on the east you are going to have those afternoon thunderstorms , also some rainy weather with the possibility of a tropical disturbance . Just south of Louisiana and New Orleans and coastal sections of Alabama , mississippi and Florida panhandles there could be some heavy weather there in the form of showers and thunderstorms . Dry in Houston and Dallas , but very hot , overcast with rainy weather and some showers and thunderstorms in Chicago , minneapolis , st Paul clearing out but still smoky from some of those high pressures and the fires . In the central and western portion of Canada . High pressure builds in with the northerly flow , brings down that smoky condition that has been up there for the last several days . Dry weather in Los Angeles and San Francisco . Might be a shower in Portland , but decent conditions in Seattle , tacoma with some extra clouds , maybe some showers tonight and tomorrow .
