Introduction and Northeast Heat Warning

Speaker 1

Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman . Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Tuesday . It is the 29th day of the month of July , a month that's shown some places across the Northeast quite a bit of rainfall but exceptional amounts of heat and humidity , and we're actually going today , on Monday we'll have it on Tuesday and Wednesday May ahead on Monday will happen on Tuesday and Wednesday Some very extreme heat , so that the extreme heat warnings are in effect for much of the mid-Atlantic and northeast . Across the southeast there are showers and thunderstorms . It looks like mostly rainy conditions during the afternoon . East Tennessee , kentucky , all the way down into western North Carolina , all of South Carolina , georgia and through the Florida Panhandle and also into Alabama , mississippi and southern Louisiana . It does look generally dry from Houston up to Dallas , but it looks like some showers and thunderstorms for Chicago .

Speaker 1

Drying weather in Minneapolis , st Paul , rainy conditions in central and eastern sections of Montana and Wyoming all the way down to Colorado and western sections of New Mexico , around four quarters . It's their monsoon season and it looks like they are going to continue with the rains there over the next couple of days . Dry weather though in LA and San Francisco also the possibility of some showers in Portland , but mostly cloudy conditions with some sunshine in Seattle . A frontal system arriving during the daytime on Wednesday could bring some more rain to them , but the big story , of course , being the heat and humidity across the northeast . Excessive heat warnings will remain in effect Tuesday and Wednesday , and then we have a frontal system approaching from the northwest that's currently moving out of central and southern Canada . We'll be arriving in the east with some thunderstorms on Thursday . Temperatures back up to only near 80 to 85 on Friday , saturday and Sunday , as we welcome in the new month of August .

So again , if you're traveling today , it looks like some showers and thunderstorms in Atlanta and Charlotte , also lighter showers across Miami and Fort Lauderdale , but most of the time it's just going to be typical South Florida weather for today 90s daytime , late day and evening thunderstorms . Dry in Houston , dallas , as mentioned , thunderstorms in Chicago . Dry weather for much of the West Coast Expected on Tuesday . I'm Eddie Modrowski , fellow tour guide . I'm the weatherman . Hope you have a great day today . Talk to you first thing on Wednesday . See you then .
