Thanks for checking intotheWeathermanPod.com on your

approaching two-thirds of theway through the month.
And well, our temperatures arewarming up just a bit on the
eastern seaboard.
It has been on average of aboutsix to eight degrees below
normal up until about now.
But we have temperatures in the50s and in some places even the

(00:22):
60s during the daytime today.
Then a sharp cold front movesthrough, and then we get into
some near-normal conditions aswe head into the weekend and
early next week.
So for today, it looks like rainnearly going with some locally
heavy thunderstorms and someheavy downpours, and a wind
advisory because of thosesouth-southwest winds shifting
around to the northwest, 15 to30, but some gusts of 40 to 45.

(00:43):
And that's because that windadvisory with a strong cold
front moving through the region,generally during the early to
mid-afternoon hours.
Then as we head into theevening, we have heavy rains in
the morning with very warmconditions at night.
We get into a windy and colderflow, and even the possibility
of a few snow flurries here andthere.
But then we get into clearing,and it looks like generally fair
and more seasonable weathercoming up for the weekend.

(01:04):
Cold on Saturday, but warming upa bit on Sunday.
Saturday's high temperaturesgenerally in the 30s to near 40,
and Sunday's high temperaturesgenerally in the 40s, some
places even further south, downto about the 50 to 55 degree
range on Sunday.
Then it looks like fair, colderweather for early next week.
In the meantime, if you'retraveling today, extensive
delays in the New York,Philadelphia, Baltimore area

(01:27):

It will tend to improve a bitduring the afternoon, but
because the winds are shiftingaround to the northwest, it's uh
you're looking at between twoand four hours of delays and
even cancellations into the NewYork, Philadelphia, and Boston
area today.
But by this evening, the weathersituation starts to improve, so
uh things will graduallydiminish.
