Rapid Chill Hits The Northeast

SPEAKER_00:

Hi, this is Bid Your Mons of Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into theWeathermanPod.com on your Thursday. It is the 15th day, the month of January 2026. And we're looking at our weather situation across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast of uh very warm becoming cold in the Mid-Atlantic states, but uh colder conditions progressively across much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, extending into New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York, and the city. As a matter of fact, we had some rain showers, even some snow showers in the early going, giving way to a mostly cloudy day and progressively colder as the early high temperatures were in the 30s, dropping back into the 20s and teens by late today and tonight. Now, Friday's weather is looking pretty good, plenty of sunshine, but it's these coastal lows and these upper-level frontal systems moving through the region. Could give us some rain or snow showers once again on Saturday morning. And then also looking at the possibility of a coastal storm developing that might affect the area sometime Sunday night, early Monday, but it's still a little bit early to tell at this point. We'll update you as we get through Friday and the weekend. In the meantime, though, looking at a weather situation for today that should show a slow, gradual improvement, but with some colder temperatures. High, it's 35 to 40 to start, dropping back into the 20s. If you're traveling by air today, generally improving weather across the New York area, North LaGuardia, Javk, no major problems. They're also looking at decent conditions up in Boston. Philly, Baltimore, D.C., and Dallas also looking pretty good at this point. We do see some uh expected uh snow showers across Cleveland, also Buffalo, up to Rochester, and even up in Messina, New York, but uh generally dry in Chicago and uh progressively drier. There could be some late day thunderstorms down in South Florida, but it looks like uh Tampa down to Fort Myers and even down to the Keys. Uh most of the time it'll be dry and rain-free. Maybe that chance of late day thunderstorms, but no problems as far as flying in and out of there. Houston and Dallas Fredworth looking dry. West Coast also dry, LA up to San Francisco and all the way up to Seattle. A problem area seems to be across Minnesota where a frontal system working its way out of the central portion of the North American continent will cause snow and ice across Minneapolis, St. Paul during the daytime and this evening. So some delays and possibly some cancellations getting into Minnesota today. In the meantime, the rest of the nation, especially the central and southern portion of the nation, dry and looking pretty good for your Thursday. I've been your Steve Fellateri, and I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to your first thing tomorrow. See you then.
