Introduction and Wildfire Smoke Update

Speaker 0 0:01

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

Coastal and Regional Forecast

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

Weekend Outlook and Flying Conditions

. 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 .

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

West Coast Conditions and Sign-off

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 .
