Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Wednesdays, the 30th day of the month of July 2025. And the heat advisories and excessive heat warnings continue across the northeast, with temperatures on Tuesday ranging between 95 and 102. All around the area, scattered showers and thunderstorms were widely scattered. Over the next several days, or the next couple of days, I should say, with the next frontal system arriving sometime on Wednesday night, then during the daytime on Thursday and Thursday evening, even into Friday, we have the possibility of some locally severe weather, but it will at least break the heat. Temperatures once again on Wednesday will range up to about 95 to 102, with heat index values, which is a combination of the heat and the relative humidity temperature and relative humidity up to about 105 to 107, making it very uncomfortable Type of weather that you have to stay indoors and air conditioning. Don't exert yourself during the afternoon heat. Wear some loose-fitting clothing of light color and material and drink plenty of water. Stay away and avoid alcohol, as it does make your matter a lot hotter. It makes your body a lot hotter because it just has to overcome dealing with the alcohol in your system. So stay away from that, mostly water, fruit juices, if anything, that will help as well. Now, as we head towards Wednesday night and Thursday, approaching the frontal system from the Great Lakes is going to bring showers and thunderstorms. There's even a possibility of an area of low pressure forming some tropical characteristics, believe it or not sometime during the overnight on Thursday into Friday and that could cause some heavy rains in some sections of eastern Pennsylvania, new Jersey, delmarva, and even into New York City and southeastern New England. So we'll be watching that for tomorrow's report.

Speaker 1: 1:47

Also looking at the tsunami warnings that are in for the island of Hawaii all the islands actually there for the state of Hawaii, and even looking at tsunami watches along the west coast of the United States because of a very heavy 8.8 earthquake that occurred just over the eastern section of the coast. It's actually offshore the coast of Russia and that, because of the tremendous 8.8, is a tremendous earthquake. When you get that type of system, the water sometimes will fill into the cracks that develop as the earth moves and then, as the earth moves back, pushes it out and it causes those terrific tsunamis. You're looking at the possibility in the Hawaiian Islands of about maybe 10-foot wave surges as that tsunami does occur, probably sometime. Probably did occur sometime between 1 and 3 am and probably is a possibility for the Pacific Coast of the United States sometime during the morning hours today.

Speaker 1: 2:54

The heat and humidity continue and we are going to get into some nicer weather. High pressure will be building in on Friday in the afternoon. Saturday and Sunday looking at some very nice weather for the northeast Carter-ass. Temperatures will be at more seasonable levels and that means 80 to 85 as we get into the new month of August.

Speaker 1: 3:12

On Friday, if you're traveling by air today, still looking at showers and thunderstorms in Atlanta and in Charlotte, widely scattered showers and thunderstorms in central and south Florida, but no major delays in those places. The heat and humidity in the northeast, no major storms. But because of the excessive heat that does slow things down in the New York area Airports Philadelphia, newark, laguardia, jfk and even up in White Plains and out in Islip you are going to have the possibility of some delays because of the excessive heat. This afternoon Also looking at some scattered showers and thunderstorms moving into the Boston area sometime late in the day on Wednesday and probably earlier on Thursday. Heavy rains across Louisiana down on the Gulf Coast Dry but hot. Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth.

Speaker 1: 3:55

Heavy thunderstorms are a possibility, causing some delays into Chicago, especially this afternoon and this evening. It's that low pressure system that will probably reform an eastern seaboard sometime Thursday night and Friday. So it's that low-pressure system that will probably reform in the eastern seaboard sometime Thursday night and Friday. So it's going to be bringing that rainy weather to Chicago, but in the half of St Paul it looks like it's clearing out. There's some better weather as that high pressure starts to build south Dry conditions in LA, san Diego and San Francisco, but it looks like some showers in Portland and Seattle, but on the light side. For later today and tonight. Let me do my best to see you, and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on the last day of July, on Thursday. See you then.
