Hi, this is Bidi Rollinger Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpod.com on your Friday, 16th day of the month of January 2026. And the cold weather is now starting to descend across the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. Actually, much of the eastern portion of the nation and the northeast is going to be under some very cold weather for at least the next couple of weeks. We will have some warm periods. That's going to be happening. You'll find temperatures going maybe for a one to three day period above uh normal for this time of year, but on balance it's going to be colder. Well, look at today, Friday on mostly sunny days. Temperatures range generally between 30 and 35, averaging about five to seven degrees below normal. West winds at 10 to 15, they'll be gusting up to 30. Now, at night it's going to be cloudy, and increasing clouds will bring us the possibility of a little bit of light snow. Might be a little coating to generally less than an inch of snowfall during the overnight and early Saturday with nighttime lows of 26. Saturday's weather calling for that possibility of some snow flurries in the morning. Then a mostly cloudy, warmer day. Highs will get up to near 40. And 40 is pretty close to normal for this time of year. And at night it'll be mostly cloudy 27. Watching the development of a coastal low that may just brush the Del Marta Peninsula, southern New Jersey, and sections of Maryland sometime on Sunday afternoon or Sunday evening with a coating to maybe a few inches of snow and possibly across the central and eastern section of Long Island and coastal New England. There could be uh several inches of snow, but it's all dependent upon the development and the tracking of that storm. We'll have more on that as the weekend continues. But Sunday, just a chance of some snow. Later afternoons, our highs range only between 30 and 35. 31 will be the high on Dr. Martin Luther King Day. It's a federal holiday on Monday with sunshine 31. Tuesday, highs only near 20 to 25. And Wednesday holding in the 20s again with generally sunny conditions for the middle of next week. It is going to be cold, eastern half of the nation next week. Now, if you're traveling by air today, those frontal systems that are going to be moving by, giving us uh that cold weather for this weekend end for a good balance of next week. Well, they're going to be preceded with these frontal systems, and that one front is moving through the Chicago area. Doesn't look like heavy snow. Most of the heavy snow is going to be in the central and southern portion of Michigan, from Ypsilania all the way up to Sault Ste. Maria and down to Detroit, and then also up into northern Ohio, sections of uh Cleveland and up to Toledo, you will have some snow squalls. Chicago area, some snow showers, cloudy skies, not major problems into the Chicago area. Brother Bill's going there, and uh looks like it will be maybe an hour or two delay at most, but for the most part, no major areas of snowfall for there. Uh up in Minneapolis, St. Paul, it's gonna be very cold and snowy, and also the possibility of some squalls in that area. Elsewhere across the nation, dry in Atlanta, dry in Charlotte, those are major hubs for uh airlines and uh looking at Houston and Dallas Fort Worth, also major hubs looking at uh generally decent weather in those places as well. New York, Norc, LaGuardia, Boston, all looking pretty good. Uh Philadelphia, Baltimore, and DC, no problems weatherwise there. Central and South Florida also looking good. West Coast continues their dry trend. San Diego, LA, San Francisco, all dry. Looks like dry, no problems weather wise, flying into Portland or Seattle this upcoming Friday. I'm Biddy Balzus, Steve Pelleterian. I am the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to your first thing on Saturday. See you then.
