Hi, this has been your biologist, steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Sunday, 17th day of the month of August 2025. And we've had some warm weather this past weekend across the mid-Atlantic and northeast, but it looks like some scattered showers and thunderstorms. So it's the approaching frontal system that will give us some cooler weather Sunday and Sunday evening all across the northeast, from northern Maine and southern Canada, all across New York State down into New Jersey, pennsylvania, maryland, delaware and Virginia and West Virginia as well. That's associated with that front that will probably become stationary to our south, and high pressure building down across central northern Great Lakes will move almost due east. That'll put us into a northeasterly flow and keep our temperatures in check over the next several days, so look for partial sunshine at 90 to 95 today, as temperatures will be moderating over the next several days. Today, though, is going to be the hottest of the next six, and we're looking at temperatures tonight down to about the middle 60s. There could be some scattered showers and thunderstorms as that front moves through. Hot tomorrow, near 80, with a mix of clouds and sun on Monday, tuesday and Wednesday also looking partly to mostly sunny Each day high 70s to the lower 80s. Also, taking a look at the end of the week, looks like Thursday and Friday also looking fair, with high pressure across the northeast with Hurricane Erin safely offshore, probably going to be passing east of from Virginia Beach up to New Jersey and New England sometime Wednesday and Thursday. Maximum winds at that point 120 miles per hour offshore. A little bit more about Erin. After a rapidly intensifying early Saturday, erin appears to be in the middle stages of an eyewall replacement. That's a situation where hurricanes, when they actually change, go from warmer waters and then start moving more north and then northeast. Sometimes the eyewall gets replaced and that basically causes it to break down a bit. So your maximum winds of over 150 miles per hour are right around now and it probably will be lowering down to about 120 miles per hour in surface winds by the time it reaches just east of DC, east of New York City, sometime later. Wednesday and Thursday of this week If you're traveling today, it looks like we will have some scattered showers and thunderstorms in the New York area with that frontal system during the afternoon and evening hours. So there could be some delays if you're leaving today, because inbound may be a little bit delayed because of those thunderstorms later your Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening also.

Similar situation Up in the Boston area and the islands offshore Down in Atlanta looking dry. Dry also in Charlotte and Chicago. No major problems there weather-wise. Houston just a few light showers.

Dallas hot as normal and just generally dry conditions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Central and South Florida just typical afternoon and early evening thunderstorms. Nothing much to consider there. Four Corners still showing a little bit of rain, but it looks like most of it is now drifting east into the western Texas panhandle. Dry weather. From San Diego to Los Angeles and San Francisco Looks like the rain has ended. In Portland, seattle, they'll have fair weather there, so no major problems traveling the place where they'll probably have some weather there. So no major problems traveling. The place where they'll probably have some weather today is going to be up in the Minneapolis-St Paul area where overcast and rainy and thunderstorm action is likely throughout the daytime into this evening. I'm Ben Ebron, just Steve Pelletieri, and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great Sunday. Talk to you first thing on Monday with some cooler weather arriving in the east. Take care.
