SPEAKER_00 0:00

Hi, this is Meteorologist Steve Pelleterian. I am the Weatherman. Thanks for checking into the WeathermanPond.com on your Saturday, second day of the month of May 2026, and our weather situation for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Really not bad, but a little bit cooler than normal for this time of year. We're going to enter into the month of May on a cool side. Could be a few sprinkles of showers across the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, especially off to the north and much over New England. However, you look for high temperatures only ranging into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Up the Hudson Valley, up northern New York State, temperatures only being the 50s and the 40s. So frost advisories are likely for the northern Hudson Valley and also over the Berkshires as well. Western portions of Massachusetts, northwestern Connecticut. However, across much of the region, we do get into some milder weather on Sunday, a sunny day with temperatures up to about 60 to 65. Then clear skies at night, still chilly at night in the 40s. The big change happens on Monday. We'll find temperatures up to about 70 to 75. Tuesday could have high temperatures up to near 80 degrees. And we have our frontal system arrive and could bring us some showers midweek, Wednesday, Thursday, and then uh Friday, we get into a clearing trend. Thursday and Friday with those showers, temperatures in the 70s. Friday of next week, mostly sunny 64. That fair weather trend will probably continue into next weekend with a gradual mildep towards the end of the period. That's how it happens in this beautiful month of May. If you're traveling by air today, just a few scattered showers in the New York, LaGuardia, JFK, Newark area, Philadelphia also pretty good. Looking at fine weather in Baltimore and in D.C. Richmond, some rain showers. Charlotte also some light rain showers. The showers ended Atlanta. It was rain earlier during the pre-drawn hours. That rain now moving east. Most of the heavier rains, if you're traveling into, say, Jacksonville, uh down to uh Columbia, South Carolina, or Charlotte, uh actually into the excuse me, Wilmington area. That's where you're going to have some rainy weather with a storm just offshore. Dry weather in Chicago and Minneapolis, St. Paul, finally drying out in Houston and Dallas. Looks like pretty good weather for LA, San Francisco, maybe some showers in the Portland area, and uh gradual uh improving trend in the Pacific Northwest. Uh just a quick look into the weather situation for Sunday. No major problems. A big area of low pressures offshore that'll probably cause some delays into the Boston area, also some showers into Chicago. Uh, South Florida also with some showers, but it does look like uh another area of low pressure will be moving into the Pacific Northwest and maybe some rain there. Uh, one note for the Kentucky Derby today, we are looking at uh dry conditions at Churchill's Down. There is a few light-scattered showers as a possibility. However, they will not uh hamper the uh race. Uh this type of showers that I'm seeing there may be about five hundredths of an inch. My goodness, they put down that much mortar on the track each and every race. So uh with that in mind, I think you've got a fast track for Churchill Downs for the Run for the Roses this afternoon. Probably sometime Eastern time between uh 6 and 7 p.m. tonight. Hope you are a winner. We're all gonna be winners on Sunday. The weather does look nice. Hope you have a great day today. Talk to your first thing tomorrow. See you then.
