Speaker 1 0:00

Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman . Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on Wednesday , 24th day of the month of September 2025 . Going very quickly . This month so far , average temperatures across the northeast have been pretty close to normal . The amount of rainfall in the northeast has been below normal and we're going to see a little bit of a change in that over the next couple of days . Big area of low pressure that's off to the east and a series of weaker low pressure systems along the stationary front pretty close by are going to keep us in cloud cover from DC up to the Boston area during the daytime today , tonight and also on Thursday

. By Friday high pressure starts to build into the region . It looks like it probably will bring us some decent weather for this upcoming weekend . But , as mentioned for today , it does look like lots of cloud cover and there'll be some breaks in the overcast , driving temperatures back up to near the 80 , 85 degree range , which is above normal by about 5 degrees . But heavy showers and thunderstorms are likely to develop in the later afternoon and during the evening . We had those on Tuesday evening some scattered thunderstorms across the northeast . They are now regenerating across a series of frontal systems almost stationary from the eastern Great

Lakes right to the eastern seaboard , including New York Boston area , also down to Baltimore and DC . Another frontal system expected to work its way out of east Texas and moving through the central Mississippi River Valley will slowly , gradually trudge on through the eastern seaboard over the next 48 hours . It'll take that long . So look for clouds today and the possibility of some showers and some thunderstorms , especially in the afternoon and evening . The temperature trends will be above normal for today and for tomorrow , however , back to near normal as we head towards Friday and this upcoming weekend . So maybe some dry weather for the weekend , but it does look like some much-needed rainfall for your Wednesday and Thursday . From DC to Boston .

Today . Our look at our aviation weather situation across the nation Atlanta not too bad , although most of the heavy showers are across the central Mississippi River Valley . So the heavy showers across the central Mississippi River Valley . It's going to cause some locally severe weather extending from Ohio down through Kentucky , tennessee and into northern sections of Alabama , mississippi and Louisiana , even seeing some heavy frontal system action moving in through east Texas . That'll be causing problems down in Houston and , to a lesser extent , dallas-fort Worth . The Chicago area looks like it's going to try to clear out just a bit Central and southern Florida some scattered thunderstorms , but nothing major . And it does look like dry weather for San Diego and LA , but some rainy weather now moving into the middle and northern portion of California , including Sacramento and San Diego , excuse me and San Francisco . It's especially off towards the

north with another frontal system working its way through Portland and Seattle . That's where you're going to be getting a possibility of some scattered showers with that cold front during the daytime today and for the evening and early morning on Thursday as well . So no problems into Atlanta . There will be some showers and thunderstorms and delays in the mid-Atlantic and northeast on Wednesday night and on Thursday . So if you're traveling on those days , expect the possibility of either delays or even some cancellations because of the possibility of some locally severe weather from place to place in the east during the daytime on Thursday .
