Hi, this is the media brother, Steve Pelvetier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the WeathermanPond.com on your Saturday. It is the sixth day of the month of December, 2025, as this year quickly starts to come to an end. And it looks like our weather situation has gone deep winter for the most part, especially as we're heading towards the middle portion of this week. Well, there will be some colder outbreaks, I'm sure, maybe later in December and into early to mid-January. That's usually when we have our coldest outbreaks of air. But right now, it looks like our temperature trends will continue to be between five and seven degrees below normal for good balance of this upcoming week. For today, it's going to be a lot of cloud cover, but there'll be some sunny times, especially to the south. More cloud covered to the north, where there'll be some snow flurries across southern New England. Highs have reached the upper 30s, low to mid-40s, then partly cloudy at night. Saturday night low temperatures down to about 20 to 25, so some pretty cold weather. Then Sunday's looking mostly sunny to partly sunny. Highs 42, some clouds at night with another sharp cold front down to 23. It may even be a flurry or two in some places, especially in the northern and western portions of New Jersey, northeastern Pennsylvania. Central and western New York State will be probably into some snow squalls on Sunday. That's because the winds will be kicking up out of the northwest, and sharply colder weather will be arriving on Monday. Monday's high temperatures only 33. Tuesday mostly sunny, 35, and a possibility of some rain and snow arriving around midweek. That's another sharp cold front. It'll bring us very cold weather towards the end of the week. In the meantime, for today, it looks like a mix of clouds and sunweather highs, generally in the 40s. If you're traveling by air today, with high pressure across the northeast, it looks like the weather situation for New York, LaGuardia and JFK, Philadelphia, Baltimore, all looking pretty good. Maybe some snow showers around the Boston area, but then a clearing trend in eastern portions of Great Lakes, Erie and Ontario. They'll have some lake effects snow squalls expected across northwestern Pennsylvania, western New York, and also northern and western New York, north of Utica Rome up towards Messina, and into southern Canada. And the frontal system expected to move through the eastern Great Lakes will be arriving here sometime on Sunday. So the weather does look like generally fair into the Chicago region. We are looking at some heavy snows across eastern portions of North and South Dakota, uh northwestern portions of Iowa and the southwestern portion of Minnesota during the midday. So could be some significant, significant snowfall in Nebraska, Iowa, and into South Dakota during the daytime today. Chicago, of course, being pretty good. Atlanta looks like the rain of states of the south and east. Charlotte also looking dry. Central and South Florida, well, Central Florida, some rain shower. South Florida generally clear. Clearing trends in Houston and Dallas. Los Angeles, San Francisco, and even the San Diego area all looking pretty good. That weather continues to be wet and rainy in Portland and Seattle today. I've been your moderate, Steve Pelletier, and I am the weather band looks like a pretty good day today, generally around the Mid Atlantic and Northeast, except for the southeastern rains. But we are expecting a continued cold weather flow below normal temperatures in the northeast over the next several days. I'll be back with a complete forecast again on Sunday morning. Until then, hope you have a great day today. Talk to you first thing tomorrow. See you then.
