Monday's Weather Overview

Speaker 1

Hi , this is meteorologist Steve Pelletier and I'm the weatherman . Thanks for checking into theweathermanpodcom on your Monday . It is now the 12th day of the month of May , almost getting to that halfway mark , so some beautiful weather . Over this past weekend , especially in the mid-Atlantic and northeast Over the southern states , there was quite a bit of rainfall . It looks like that rain is now spreading from the central Mississippi River Valley up through the Virginias , then into the Carolinas , and also there's some heavier showers and thunderstorms in central and east Florida , but in the New York area , philadelphia as well , there'll be some high cloud cover , but temperatures will still manage to get well into the 70s to near 80 degrees in some spots A little bit further north it'll be holding between 70 and 75 , and generally fair skies across much of New York State and New England on Monday . By Monday night , though , it's going to be increasing clouds . That storm will be arriving from the southwest will give us some showers , and showers are likely on Tuesday as well , because of the cloud cover , maybe some thunderstorms . It looks like we're going to have cooler temperatures , generally in the 60s , the lower 70s on Tuesday , Cooler temperatures generally in the 60s , the lower 70s on Tuesday , and even this system staying around the area for a while . That means more showers , likely for Tuesday night and Wednesday as well . Maybe some improving weather towards the end of the week , but this does look like a long drawn-out type of system for our area in this midweek in May .

In the meantime , though , if you are flying for today down into the Atlanta area , of course because of the low pressure system there it's going to be IFR and rain . There will be at least one or two hour delays in and out of that place because of the weather . Also bad weather in Charlotte . Central and southern eastern shores of the Florida Peninsula Also about the same . That means from Jacksonville all the way down to Daytona , to Fort Lauderdale and Miami and even out to the Keys . There will be some scattered showers . Even in the Fort Myers area , showers and some thunderstorms are a good possibility for the daytime . Today Also some rainy weather at Louisiana and Panhandle of Florida .

However you get to , texas looks like the weather dries out nicely . Houston and Dallas will be fair . Oklahoma City also looking pretty good . Chicago , just some high cloud cover with a storm to the south . They'll probably get into some showers tonight . Great weather in Minneapolis , st Paul , but look at the West Coast . It is going to be dry in San Diego and LA . However , rain is moving in to the Frisco area and also in Portland , and Seattle Will be rainy , especially in the afternoon and evening hours on this Monday . Once again for today , some high cloud cover across the mid-Atlantic states with temperatures ranging into the upper 70s to near 80 . Rain in the Carolinas and south , all moving towards the New York City area on Tuesday . I'll be back tomorrow with the details . Hope you had a great day today . Talk to you first thing tomorrow .
