Hi, this is Midi Roger Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the Weathermanpod.com on your Wednesday. It's the 24th day of the month of December. It's Christmas Eve, 2025. And the prospects for weather across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast for Christmas Day are looking pretty good, just variably cloudy. Might be some rain or snow showers or snow showers north up to New York and southern New England. Rain showers are sprinkles to the south, southeastern PA, Virginia, and down into the Carolinas. But for the most part, we're looking at temperatures ranging generally into the lower 40s today. Lower 40s expected for Christmas Day as well. So no storms expected then. However, taking a look towards Friday evening, uh, this year, a lot of storms are coming down out of the continent. It's part of that uh river of moisture that's been moving in the atmospheric river that they're talking about that comes from uh equatorial regions of the Pacific Ocean down near Hawaii and then reaches up into the Pacific Northwest. It's causing quite a bit of rainfall out there, and they've been having flooding in Washington and Oregon, and even into sections of southern Canada as well. But some of those storms they dry out as they come across the continent, but then move down out of the northwest, right across Lake Superior and Lake Huron, northern Lake Michigan, and into this region, into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Well, the next one is showing areas of snow moving again out of the northwest with an area of low pressure and a frontal system that's going to be moving through for the second half of this upcoming weekend. But the storm that precedes that cold front will give the area between four and eight inches of snowfall, possibly from Philadelphia northward all the way up into southern New England and including New York City and northern New Jersey. To the south, it looks like it's more of a rain situation. That's South Jersey, Southeastern PA, Maryland and DC and Richmond. But up to the north, it looks like we'd have some significant snows all across New York State, central and southern New England as well, including, as mentioned, North Jersey and New York. The type of moisture you're looking at, between four and eight inches of snowfall. But where that happens all depends on that big river or that big ocean of uh warm temperatures just off of Jersey and Long Island, southern New England coast. The temperatures of ocean and water there are still in the 40s. Any winds that come out of the east or southeast warms things up along the immediate coast. However, it's a northwesterly flow, so it looks like it could bring us into the possibility of that very cold pattern for Friday night and early Saturday. So far this month of December, temperatures have been averaging about six degrees below normal over the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. And that trend looks like it will continue through the end of the month. I know it's a big travel day on this Wednesday before the Christmas holiday and weekend. Uh we have high pressure across Chicago. So looks like dry weather at Minneapolis, Chicago, also into northeast. New York and Boston area, all looking pretty good. There's going to be some snow over northern Maine, but uh nothing around here. Mid-Atlantic showing dry conditions down to Virginia, Richmond. Charlotte also looking dry, but clouds, maybe some showers during the evening. Atlanta also a possibility of some showers at night, but daytime. No major weather situation, so no problems weather-wise flying in and out of that hub. Looking at uh Miami and South Florida just from some scattered thunderstorms. It's been that way just about all week. And we're looking at hazy and foggy conditions in Dallas and Houston, but uh nothing major. It just slows things just a little bit and then going into those airline hubs uh during the daytime today or this evening. West Coast, that's where the rain is. It's gonna be raining in San Diego, LA, San Francisco, all the way up to Portland and Washington. Pretty big storm moving in from the Pacific, and it could cause some uh mudslides and also more flooding across the Pacific Northwest, mud slides in central and southern portions of California, all depending upon how much rain they do receive during the daytime today and tonight. So some delays getting into the west coast weather wise uh for your Wednesday into Wednesday night. 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 Christmas morning. Hope you have a good holiday if you don't check in. In the meantime, we'll be following that expected storm for Friday with tomorrow's report. Have a great day today and talk to you tomorrow. See you then.
