Hi, this is meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking in to TheWeathermanPodcom on your Thursday. It's the 21st day of the month of August 2025. Hurricane Erin is offshore and it's going to stay off the eastern seaboard but it's effective, causing coastal flood warnings to be in effect from the outer banks of North Carolina right up through coastal Virginia, the Delmarva Peninsula, new Jersey and, to a lesser extent, right now it's along Long Island and all the way up into coastal Massachusetts, into the islands and into southern portions of New England. However, that will most likely be in some coastal flood warnings by later on Friday and Friday night. This is going to be, in fact, slowly, gradually lifted from the south to the north, but it will be in effect from later today right through early on Saturday, as the storm will stay offshore but causing those coastal conditions to be quite severe in the form of excessive high tides, beach erosion, rough seas and, of course, that coastal flood in effect for those places.

Speaker 1: 1:00

Hurricane erin, running about 200 miles due east of Hatteras, north Carolina, at this point is moving towards the north northeast at around 15 miles per hour 15 to 20 miles per hour, and that will increase with time over the next 24 to 36 hours. Maximum sustained winds of about 105 miles per hour. Central pressure is just around 28.85. So a very intense storm, but it's offshore at this point as it goes into the cooler waters of the Atlantic. As it heads towards the north and northeast it'll probably weaken just a bit, but still quite a powerful storm off the eastern seaboard today. Otherwise, across the northeast corridor there is going to be some extra cloud cover and especially across coastal New England where there will be occasional rain and some showers, but the showers will be gradually moving eastward. The cloud cover will hang in for a while in New York City and Philadelphia but then gradually give way to a clearing trend, but temperatures cooler than normal. Normal highs should be around 83, 84 degrees. We only see temperatures in the 70s during the daytime today, as we did yesterday, and also looking at a, a slow, gradual improvement in our weather situation for Friday and Saturday. Friday after early clouds today and then some clearing this afternoon and highs in the 70s with the showers moving east, friday we get into sunshine of 80 to 85. Saturday also sunshine 80 to 85 degrees. Sunday back to a partly sunny day, but there might be some late day showers or isolated thunderstorms later on Sunday into Sunday night. Generally it does look like a pretty decent weekend coming up this Saturday and Sunday. After the early clouds today give way to clearing and nice weather for the end of the week.

Speaker 1: 2:36

If you're traveling today, it looks like there will probably be some slight delays in the New York area because of cloud cover and the storm staying far offshore but still giving us that little northeast wind circulation could cause some light delays in New York, laguardia, jfk and Newark. Up in the Boston area doesn't look like any problems there weather-wise. Weather-wise in Chicago nice and clear, no problems there. And in Houston looks like occasional rain and showers and some thunderstorms. Dallas, fort Worth, right on the edge of that, looking at generally fair conditions. Central and South Florida under clouds and also showers and thunderstorms, so some light to moderate delays into Central and South Florida expected for today. Atlanta some slight delays, but it will be cloud cover, maybe a shower. Similar situation in Charlotte, west Coast at this point looking fairly good. It has been pretty dry over the West Coast the last several days. San Diego, la, san Francisco no problems. Weather-wise it looks like good weather in Portland and Seattle as well, as high pressure over the Pacific will be moving onshore.

Speaker 1: 3:33

I'm your volunteer, steve Pelletier, and I'm the weatherman. I hope you have a great day. Today. It looks like we'll have improving weather conditions as we head towards Friday and the weekend. We'll talk to you first thing tomorrow. Take care.
