Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to theweathermanpodcom on your Sunday. It is the fourth day in the month of May 2025 and we've got some wet weather across the Northeast. Basically, it's been dry through the month of April, from DC up to the Boston area, but it looks like we're going to get several days of the chance of rain, maybe between a quarter and an inch of rain, all depending upon whether or not you have some thunderstorms. And an inch of rain, all depending upon whether or not you have some thunderstorms. Set up on the weather charts shows there's an area of low pressure across West Virginia. Cold front extends south from there. It's through Atlanta and just coming up on Savannah and Central and Western Florida, and the stationary front lies from the center of the low over West Virginia right up through Harrisburg, right up I-81 into the New Jersey, new York and southern New England area and along that stationary front there will be areas of upper-level low pressure. Although that rain that caused the very muddy and sloppy conditions at Churchill Downs during the Kentucky Derby well, some of that rain is now heading eastward, but in Kentucky, still looking at the possibility of some rain for today in Louisville, but occasional showers, especially in the afternoon and evening hours, likely for New York, as temperatures will not be as warm as it was on Saturday. It was in the 80s Today, on Sunday only ranging in the 70s, 70 to 75. Similar pattern for DC, baltimore, philly, new York and up in the Boston area as well, and the probability of some rainfall will continue into Sunday night and into Monday as well.

Elsewhere across the nation, fair weather is starting to move into the Chicago region, although in Chicago there will be a chance of some showers Today giving way to clearing tonight. Minneapolis, st Paul, iowa, just about both the Dakotas all the way down to Kansas and Nebraska looking at dry weather extending into east Texas. So showers and thunderstorms are likely in central and south Florida, but Atlanta's looking dry, also generally a chance of some showers, but with some improving weather in Charlotte and in the Texas area. It looks at high pressures building south from Minnesota and that's going to give up nice weather in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth, but some locally severe weather across four corners as an upper-level low-pressure system will go right over the central and southern Rockies, giving them some much-needed rainfall. To the Pacific Northwest a drying pattern, high pressures starting to build in from Seattle down to Portland. Looking at good weather in San Francisco, a few showers early in Los Angeles and in the San Diego area it looks like it's all drifting eastward by later in the day and tonight.
