Hi this is meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and I am the weatherman! Thanks for stopping by weathermanpod.com on this Wednesday the 24th day of January 2024. On the weathermanpod.com we concentrate on aviation hub weather if you're traveling by plane anywhere in the country we talk about the major airline hubs the number one being Atlanta and other places like Dallas Fort Worth Charlotte Miami course Newark NY and the Boston area Minneapolis Saint Paul. We also talk about whether in Phoenix, Southern California at Los Angeles or San Diego, San Francisco and Portland OR along with Seattle WA. Bad weather in any of these places could mean significant delays with connecting flights. Delta has its hub in Atlanta and when Atlanta has bad weather it can slow down most of the delta North American operations similar with united at Newark Ohio at Cleveland and Chicago the original hub of United Airlines Dallas Fort Worth the hub for American and other airlines like Southwest at Love field also play an important raw and keeping flights going across North America. The gateway to south America as Miami many times the weather there can be quite severe slowing things down and transfers to other flights in the Caribbean central or South America as well. We'll also talk about other interesting weather news or comments that are appropriate for the time of year, For example ,did you know at the old Farmer’s Almanac predicted that temperatures would be two degrees above normal with limited snowfall for the northeast corridor during the month of December?  Actually, during the month of December, temperatures were between 5 and 8 degrees above normal of course with low snowfall. Interestingly enough, the Farmer’s almanac predicts that temperatures will be two degrees below normal from DC to Boston during the month of January and with higher amounts of snowfall. Well,  so far,  coming on 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the month we see that temperatures are still a little bit above normal but snowfall amounts in DC and Philadelphia are greater than they were all of last year. New York city continues to be on the low end with less than 3 inches of snow so far as we get closer to the end of the month of January. So all in all,  the almanac did pretty good at least predicting warmer than normal conditions in December when it was way  above normal and more snowfall for January and that seems to have happened as well. We'll keep on top of the almanac for the remainder of this winter as we approach Groundhog's day. But here at weathermanpod.com we also deal with the forecast in particular for the northeast corridor and that looks like it's going to be wet and warm over the next several days. Here's the weather across the northeast corridor, and it looks like wet and warm weather as we get into the January thaw we'll talk about that more on Thursday's report but occasional rain and showers with temperatures near 40 expected for Wednesday day and more rain likely for Thursday arriving from the southwest temperatures on Thursday will range in the 40s but it's on Friday that we might have temperatures close to 60 in Philadelphia and New York still with some early showers but then a clearing trend for this upcoming weekend.So that's the weather round up across the nation a little bit about the Farmer’s Almanac today I'm meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and I am the weatherman thanks for checking in we'll talk to you again soon.
