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 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 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.

Now, if you're flying today, it looks like decent weather in Atlanta and Charlotte. No problems in the New York area because of the dry weather conditions, a big area of high pressure Also dry up in Boston, but rainy weather in central and south Florida. 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.
