Smoke Signals: Canadian Wildfires Impact Eastern US
Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Tuesday, fifth day of the month of August 2025. And it looks like that haze and smoke from the Canadian wildfires, mainly up in Manitoba, starting to spread across the Great Lakes and starting to show signs of being into New York State, southern New England. We see signs of it all across eastern New York, from the Adirondacks all the way down to the Catskills and extending into central and northern New Jersey, northeastern Pennsylvania, where the air quality has been on the light side. Actually, the winds are very light and variable. When you have light and variable winds, no mixing in the lower atmosphere and even ozone levels for this time of year start to creep up without any of that low-level mixing. So, along the Jersey Shore, coastal Long Island, cape Cod and coastal Maine, even down into Delmarva Peninsula and coastal Virginia, north Carolina, that little bit of an east flow will keep their winds on the light side, between 5 and 10 knots and keeping it a little bit cooler at the beaches. However, there is that haze in the loft and it's cutting in on the amount of sunshine that we do receive. Either way, temperatures will still manage to get in the 80s and the lower 90s today and we're expecting generally fair to partly cloudy conditions hazy overnight and smoky in some places, with nighttime lows down into the mid to upper 60s and more of the same for tomorrow More haze and cloud cover. Temperatures range into the middle 80s. On Wednesday A weather front will be moving through, although very light, just reinforcing high pressure and a little patch of some drier, slightly cooler air will be arriving on Thursday, but highs tomorrow in the mid 80s, lower 80s expected for Thursday and Friday 80 to 85. We start to warm up though as we head into the weekend. Both Saturday and Sunday 80s to near 90 are expected.
Speaker 0:If you're flying today it looks like we've got some rainy weather still down in Atlanta. That stationary front is from East Texas right along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, alabama, mississippi and North Florida. That area is going to cause more showers and thunderstorms Also across sections of western, north and south Carolina. So that means Charlotte will be impacted by that and it looks like Houston will have some light showers, but dry in Dallas-Fort Worth, chicago, just smoky there from those Canadian Manitoba wildfires and also clouds and some showers, maybe some cleansing rains across central and northern Minnesota and up in Minnesota, at Minneapolis-St Paul, lots of clouds, maybe a shower or two there as well. Central and South Florida also showing showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon at typical times. No major problems with that. It looks dry also in San Diego and LA, but with their own smoke and wildfire problems they're causing low-level pollution problems to be at maximum level and very unhealthy Unhealthy also in the central California basin. But up in San Francisco a little bit of a slightly south-southeast flow will keep the weather situation dry, but also a bit on the humid side. It looks like some showers moving into Portland and Seattle.
