SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi, this is Midi Roger, Steve Pellet here, and I'm the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the WeathermanPie.com on your Thursday. It is the fifth day, month of March already, 2026. And we've got some wet weather moving into the northeast. Yesterday I spoke about the area of rain that was from the central Mississippi River Valley eastward all the way through the Tennessee, the Ohio Valley, right to the mid-Atlantic states and the Northeast, just touching into southern New Jersey and Maryland during the daytime today. Well, eventually that rain has now moved further north, so we're going to have periods of rain during the daytime today. Early high temperatures will range into the mid-40s. Another steady, heavier rain with a little wave of low pressure going by tonight, could give us between a half and an inch of rainfall during the overnight hours. And that along with melting snow and snow piles around the region, lots of water around the area, and there will be a little bit of flooding near the drainage areas, highway and street flooding. That'll be towards the morning hours on Friday in many communities across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. And as we head towards uh later in the day on Thursday, still just clouds, showers early than clouds 45. Friday looks like a chance of some morning showers, then just clouds in the afternoon, mid to upper 40s. Here's where it gets nice Saturday. Although clouds and sun near 60, might be a leftover shower in the early morning and another around at night, but mostly dry. Sunday dry, 60 to 65. It'll range in the 60s on Monday. 70 is going to be the warm day next week. Highs could range into the lower 70s, all with mostly sunny skies in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Now, if you're traveling by air today, set up on a weather chart shows an area of low pressure across eastern Illinois and into Indiana, a stationary front from the center of that low, which is just south of Chicago, extend all the way east through Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Jersey, and even into southern New England, southern New York State too. That means rainy weather for the daytime today. So IFR conditions and slow in and out bounds for Norfolk, LaGuardia, JFK trying to stay on time, but there'll be at least 30 to 70 minute delays, depending upon uh the area and carrier. As we head up to the Boston area, also looking at rain, so some delays there, delays in Philly and in Baltimore. Although in DC, not too bad, not because of the weather, but they will have lower clouds. Still some low clouds in the Chicago area with the possibility of some rain. It looks like rain in the Nashville area, also Louisville area, Kentucky. And it does look dry in the northern portion of Georgia, so Atlanta dry. And Charlotte also looking pretty good, weather wise. It'll be cloud covered, but looks like the rain holds off to the west. Showers across Central and South Florida, much needed rain there. Houston's looking dry, but rainy weather in Dallas, Fort Worth. West Coast dry in LA and San Francisco, rainy conditions in Portland and Seattle again today. I'm in your monster, Steve Pelletieron, the weatherman. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to your first thing on Friday. See you then.
