Northeast Heat Advisory Update

Speaker 1

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

Approaching Frontal System Warning

Speaker 1

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

Hawaii Tsunami Warning Alert

Speaker 1

report .

Speaker 1

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

The heat and humidity continue and we are going to get into some nicer weather . High pressure will be building

Weekend Forecast and Travel Conditions

Speaker 1

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

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

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
