Midweek Weather Shift

SPEAKER_00:

Hi, this is Video Balder Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into theWeathermanPod.com. On your Wednesday, it's the 14th day in the month of January 2026 and almost halfway through the month. And so far, temperatures across the mid-Atlantic and northeast portion of the United States have been above normal by about two or three degrees. That's going to be changing, though. I took a look at the weather situation for the next two weeks as far as temperatures and highs and lows are concerned. It looks like uh combined some very cold periods and then maybe just short periods of warm-up. Uh, no major areas of low pressure, but uh we do have that very cold weather flow for the last couple of weeks. That'll probably keep our temperatures very close to normal for this time of year, or even a possibility of it being about a half a degree below by the time we get done at the 31st of the month. In the meantime, though, for today uh along the eastern seaboard, a cold front is arriving, probably sometime during the overnight tonight and early on Thursday. But a prefrontal system usually gives us clouds in some warmer conditions. You'll find temperatures generally in the 40s and even into the lower 50s across the mid-Atlantic, from the Virginia's across to the eastern Carolinas, but northward up into New York and into the Boston area, basically low to middle forties, with the possibility of some sprinkles or some showers. Now, as that front moves through, sometime during the later evening hours, any rain showers they have may even turn into some snow showers towards daybreak on Thursday, and that may cause some accumulation, especially in the higher elevations of the Poconos, the Caskills, Berkshires, all across the mountainous areas in New York and the Northeast, and even into central and southern portions of Vermont and New Hampshire. However, as that frontal system pushes through, high pressure takes over, and that means dry, cold weather for Thursday afternoon and through Friday. By Saturday, it warms up just for a day. Another cold front arrives. That sets the stage for some very sharply colder weather, commencing Sunday and lasting probably through the middle of next week. Now, if you're traveling by air today, still looks like the light possibility of some rain showers in the New York area, but nothing much, no strong winds. Even the cloud cover is not going to be too low. Visibility should be fairly decent. So no problems weather wise in New York, uh, Norwich, LaGuardia, JFK, or even up in the Boston area, Philly, Baltimore, and DC, all with the possibility of some showers, but no major weather delays there. Uh, frontal system will be arriving in Atlanta probably later in the day, so a good portion of the time just cloudy. And also in the Charlotte area, possibility of uh those showers for later today and tonight as that cold front moves through. Frontal system is over South Florida, so it's going to cause some showers from around West Palm down to Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and then down to the Keys. Fort Myers, probably dry, but maybe some showers around Tampa St. Pete. Dry conditions in Houston, Dallas Fort Worth. It looks like the possibility of some snow showers, but turning windy and sharply colder in Chicago and Minnesota and Minnesota. And also at San Diego, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Dry weather continues to be the weather situation there. It'll continue for the next couple of days. We also see dry conditions up in Portland and Seattle as well. I've been your mother, Steve Pellethiery, and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Thursday with the golden air moving in. See you then.
