I'm the Weatherman.
Thanks for checking intoWeathermanPod.com on your

Yes, the 28th day, the month ofOctober, and the days quickly
going through for this month.
Looks like we have some EastCoast weather moving up.
We've got a major area of lowpressure that's going to drift
further north into the westernportions of the Carolinas right
now and then over the northeastby this Thursday.

(00:23):
The drift further northwards,spreading some rain into the New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimorearea, and even up into Boston by
later on Thursday, into Thursdaynight.
And then high pressure starts tobuild in for the last day of the
month on Friday, Halloween.
We get into some great weather,but cooler conditions expected
for the Eastern Seaboard thisupcoming first weekend of

(00:44):
November, Saturday and Sunday.
In the meantime, for today,it'll be sunshine to the north,
increasing clouds to the south,with some showers moving in from
the south.
Or high temperatures between 55and 62 at night.
Some showers are likely southand then overnight, south, we
mean Philadelphia, down to aboutBaltimore, D.C., and down into
the Virginias and the Carolinasas well.

(01:05):
And then during the daytimetomorrow, it'll be variably
cloudy.
The possibility of some showersmoving up from the south to the
north.
And our high temperatures forthe day, also 55 to 60.
The rainy day is going to be onThursday.
Heavy rains, possibly even somethunderstorms, and one to two
inches of rainfall possible onThursday as that storm gathers
strength and moves offshore.
Frontal system goes by.

(01:26):
Maybe some early showers Fridayon Halloween Friday.
We get into clearing, breezy,and it's going to be cool.
Highs in the middle 50s.
Fair weather from both Saturdayand Sunday of this upcoming
weekend.
Category 5, Hurricane Melissa isnow south of Jamaica and south
of the eastern portion of Cubaand western section of the

(01:46):
Dominican Republic.
And it does look like uh, and inHaiti Hispaniola, it looks like
uh the storm is going to crosspossibly just over the eastern
section of Jamaica and theneventually over uh eastern Cuba,
with the net result being uhtremendous force of wind and
rain and stormy conditions asthat system moves on through.

(02:09):
Uh, we also see it getting veryclose to Bermuda at around 8
p.m.
on Thursday evening.
So it will go over the Bahamason Wednesday morning and
Wednesday afternoon, thenfurther north, and then forward
speed increases should be overBermuda on Thursday, then off
into the North Atlantic as itdiminishes parallel to the
eastern seaboard this upcomingFriday into the upcoming

(02:29):
weekend.
Rapidly moving into the NorthAtlantic.
So a major category fivehurricane due to affect Jamaica
and head on, it looks like, anduh also just over the eastern
portion of Cuba, westernHispaniola over Haiti, and then
across the Bahamas, Bermuda byThursday at 8 p.m.
If you're flying today, thegovernment shutdown continues,

(02:51):
and of course, that's uh goingto cause delays all across the
nation.
I'm dealing with weather delays,and weather delays probably over
Charlotte, maybe easternsections of North Carolina,
Raleigh to maybe Virginia Beach,and possibly just around
Richmond.
And then as you head towardsAtlanta and down to Central and
South Florida, the weather lookspretty good.

(03:11):
Good weather, no problems inHouston and Dallas, although
Dallas will have somethunderstorms earlier in the
day, so there could be somedelays going into East Texas
during the morning hours onTuesday, Tuesday afternoon.
Things start to improve.
Also looking at some heavyweather in Kansas City, central
Iowa, just about all over thestate of Minnesota, so it will
be raining and also somethunderstorms in Minneapolis,

St.
Paul.
West Coast is dry.
San Diego, Los Angeles, up toSacramento and San Francisco,
