Hi, this is Mind Your Ralph, Steve Pelletier, and I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the WeathermanPont.com on your Tuesday. It is the third day of the month of February. And yesterday, Ground Ox Day, Fuxitoni Phil saw his shadow, I guess, and that means six more weeks of winter. But yesterday we told you that we're taking a look at all the uh blended models and the uh extensive models that they have all across the globe. And they all pretty much said that the first 15 days of February were going to be below normal, especially commencing this Saturday, probably up through next Friday. Temperatures will average uh between 10 and 15 degrees below normal. Today's weather situation generally was temperatures down about five degrees from where they should be. So even so, then it is warmer. It's still below normal for this time of year, and this trend is going to continue. Now, taking a look at the weather situation, we do see a little warm front poking up and could give us some lights over snow showers overnight tonight. Then a cold front arrives, and then that brings us into uh later Thursday and Friday, Friday evening. Another cold front moving down out of the northwest with a little area of low pressure, could give us a little coatings and generally less than an inch of snowfall in many places across the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. And then by Sunday, Saturday and Sunday, a clearing, blustering cold flow. Daytime highs only in the teens, nighttime lows near zero. It's gonna be that type of weather commencing Saturday, lasting at least up through Tuesday and Wednesday, then slowly, gradually getting a little bit warmer towards the end of next week. Now, if you're traveling by air today, looks like the weather in New York, LaGuardia, and JFK is going to be pretty good today. No problems weather wise. There might be some snow flurries tonight, but most of that's gonna be centered to the south. Boston looking pretty good, no problems weatherwise there. And down in DC, could be some light snow and snow showers late day or evening, but nothing much. The visibility should be pretty good, and it uh will not hamper uh in and out bounds into the Dulles or uh Reagan National Airport on your Tuesday. In Atlanta, it looks like an increase in clouds. We'll bring up some rain and it looks like uh also some showers arriving overnight in Charlotte, but the weather is going to be good for the daylight hours, both in Atlanta and in Charlotte. Central South Florida looking pretty good. Rainy weather in Houston and Dallas. That will change tonight, and tomorrow we'll get clearing. Chicago's also looking fair, fair but cold in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and in Los Angeles, JFK, excuse me, Los Angeles and San Diego, and up to San Francisco. The weather's looking pretty good. And finally, a little bit of drier weather up in Portland and Seattle today. Recapping for today, looks like a partly sunny day of 30 to 35, maybe some flurries tonight. Another sunny, slightly cooler day tomorrow, near 30 degrees. And uh looks like fair weather for Thursday as well. I'm in Dibald, Steve Pelletier, and I am the weatherman. Hope I have a great day today. Talk to you first thing tomorrow. See you then.
