Hi, this is Midi Roger, Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the WeathermanPond.com on your Sunday. 21st day of the month of December, quickly coming up to the holiday season. And it is the holiday season. And uh well, we had some snow on the eastern Seaboard, at least the in the east and the northeast earlier in the month, down around Virginia and the Carolinas and sections of West Virginia. And then on the 14th, we had that uh between four, actually as much as two inches down around Cape May, New Jersey and Baltimore and down into southern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, all the way to up as much as eight inches of snow in some sections of New Jersey, Long Island, and even into southern portions of New England. Well, that was earlier in the week. Then we had the big warm-up on Thursday. And with temperatures going up through the 50s and those strong south winds and hefty rains, it all disappeared. All the snow disappeared. So we're back to square one. Now we do have a little frontal system that'll be poking through the northeast sometime. It's a warm front and causes what we call overrunning, overrunning warm air over a dome of cold. That could spark some uh light snow in the pre-dawn hours on Tuesday and give maybe central northern New Jersey, Eastern PA, New York City a little dusting snow over to uh maybe some rain or as the temperatures warm up. It's a warm front. So basically it starts off with cold, but then it ends up with warmer conditions. And then it does look like mild weather for Wednesday and for Christmas Day. Thursday, actually Thursday on holiday, we are going to have the good possibility of some rain. It may even linger into Friday of this week. In the meantime, though, for your Sunday, we've got a good amount of sunshine and our high temperatures ranging up to about 40 to 45 generally across the northeast. And at night, it'll be fair to part the cloudy back into the 20s. A little bit cooler tomorrow on Monday with sunshine or high temperatures for the day, only up in the upper 30s, near 40 degrees. Tuesday, that possibility of some snow and rain over to some milder weather, mid-40s, fair and milder on Wednesday of this week. After traveling today, it looks like great weather into the New York area. No problems weather-wise. Winds are low and skies clear to partly cloudy. Fair skies in Boston, down in D.C., no problem there. Charlotte, Atlanta, dry, dry in central in South Florida. Fort Myers down to Miami over to Fort Lauderdale. Pretty good weather, except for late-day thunderstorms just offshore. Nothing much. Houston and Dallas Fort Worth will be dry. It'll be dry in Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul. Well, fair and cold, but dry. But out on the West Coast, looks like rain from San Francisco up to Portland and Seattle, and the threat of some rain moving in, possibly during the latter portion of the day on Sunday and Sunday night in Southern California. But it's just touching in to the northern reaches of the Los Angeles area. San Diego will probably remain on the dry side. I've been your brother, Steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Monday. See you then.
