Hi, this is Pete Roger Steve Pelletieran. I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the WeathermanPont.com on your Wednesday, 21st day of the month of January, 2026. As we say in the last third portion of the month of January, as the days get longer, the cold gets stronger. As it goes, a lot of those uh polar vortexes continue to come on down. We had temperatures today about 15 degrees below normal. Uh, we're gonna have a similar day to that this upcoming Saturday. And then after that, we have a coastal storm, a storm that's gonna be moving over the southern states. That's expected to bring snow to much of the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. Even in the Carolinas might even get a little bit of snow from this one. And then uh snow over to uh some heavy snow in a second day. That would be Sunday into Monday, ending sometime by Monday evening. But still a little bit early to tell. But if you check in with me every day, we'll be giving you the latest blend of uh models, giving you an idea of what's going to be happening this upcoming weekend. But in the meantime, not too bad for today. We're starting off with uh generally fair skies. A warm front is approaching the reason. The warm front's gonna go through with some extra cloud cover probably this afternoon and this evening. Uh, there is causing uh some uh showers in the form of rain showers across southern Ohio, West Virginia, and down across the Tennessee Valley. But it looks like snow showers across northwestern Pennsylvania and much of central and northern New York State and the Great Lakes, east shores of the Great Lakes continue to get uh pummeled by tremendous amounts of lake effect snows, and that looks like that's going to continue as these Arctic outbreaks keep coming down. See another cold front that'll be moving through here sometime during the evening hours on uh Thursday evening, early Friday, and that sets the stage for that sharply colder weather flow that we're expecting for the weekend. So it will be dry uh today, dry on Thursday and on Friday, probably even on Saturday, but with very cold weather. Then we have to watch for the development of that uh storm over the Gulf of Mexico and heading off towards the northeast could be uh quite a big weather maker from the Carolinas, the Virginias, all the way up into central and northern portions of New England. If you're flying today out of the New York area, the weather is looking pretty good. We've got clear skies, light winds, no problems weather-wise in all the area airports. Philly, Baltimore, D.C. all looking pretty good, too. Dulles will have a little bit of cloud cover, but no expected heavy weather. Boston is looking dry. Charlotte and Atlanta also looking dry. Looks like they will get rain, though, tonight and early tomorrow. Central and South Florida also still with dry, very nice warm conditions down there. Looks like rainy weather at Houston and just ending in Dallas Fort Worth. Chicago is looking dry, but cold. Fair skies for much of the West Coast today. I'm in your monster, Steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman. Hope have a great day today. Talk to you first thing on Thursday. We'll update that. Expected winter storm for this weekend. See you then.
