Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Wednesday, sixth day of the month of August 2025. Almost through that first week of the month of August already, and well, it looks like the weather situation has gone dry, especially across the Northeast. Also quite smoky too. The haze and the smoke continues from the Canadian wildfires from Manitoba province and many of the other provinces is central and northern portions of Alberta as well, and it comes down out of a northwesterly flow because the winds aloft are basically in the northwest, so staying at the higher levels, causing a lot of haze and hazy sun aloft for much of the mid-Atlantic and northeast, even though temperatures today will reach the middle 80s. Expecting Expecting hazy and muggy conditions from DC up to the Boston area. Today and for tonight it'll be partly cloudy with a little frontal system, a little trough moving through, but it looks like it's basically dry. So you're looking at nighttime lows in the middle 60s, again still smoky and hazy through the overnight hours. Daytime for tomorrow look for more of the same, but a little bit more sunshine as high pressure establishes along the eastern seaboard and we're going to have generally fair conditions with temperatures of about 80 to 85 on Thursday, also mid-80s on Friday Into the weekend. The dry weather trend does continue in the upper 80s on Saturday, near 90 to 95 expected for Sunday of this upcoming weekend. So we are going to get back into some of that heat and humidity as we head towards second half of the weekend and even into early next week, although we do see a few series of frontal systems moving through this month of August. Usually you're going to find a 4-degree temperature drop from the beginning of the month to the end. As far as averages are concerned, for example, in New York City the average high is 86 on the 1st of August. It's down to about 82 for an average high on the last day of August. Nighttime lows also about the same, generally around 68 early in the month and then down to about 62, 63 later on in the month. That's because we're getting less and less sunshine each and every day, but the upper-level wind patterns and the type of weather situation that we're in continues to show dry weather for the most part right over the next several days into about the middle of next week.

Not so across the southeastern United States If you're traveling. A lot of folks have been complaining about the delays in and out of Atlanta and Charlotte. Atlanta busiest airport in the world, in the United States also, of course, but any areas of showers and thunderstorms that go into that impact a lot of the flights inbound. Well, they can't make connections. So you're going to have an effect all across the nation of everything getting all at least delayed because of weather in Atlanta and in Charlotte, two major hubs there.

Looking at dry weather in Houston and Dallas also smoky but dry in the Chicago area, new York, newark area yeah, there has been a lot of delays in there. It's been very hazy, it's been very smoky. So look for some delays in and around there because of lower visibility and some slight weather or visibility-related conditions. And as we look towards the West Coast, it does look smoky. Also in Central and Southern California because of wildfires there. San Diego and LA going to be dry, but it's going to be also smoky, looks like dry weather in Sacramento, some rain moving in to the Pacific Northwest and Portland, and also in Seattle. South Florida also scattered showers and thunderstorms, but nothing much. Pretty typical for this time of year. I'm your host, steve Pilatiri, and I'm the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today.
