00:00 Well, it was a shot of cold air

00:01 that lasted a couple of days,

00:03 but it'll be long gone by tomorrow.

00:05 But the price for the milder air is

00:07 going to be well some rain now tomorrow.

00:10 It'll feel vastly different.

00:11 In fact, as soon as you get up

00:13 tomorrow morning, head outside,

00:14 you'll notice the difference.

00:15 Not that it's going to be mild

00:17 during the morning,

00:18 but certainly by the afternoon with

00:20 more of a southwesterly flow,

00:21 temperatures will get back to where

00:22 they should be this time of the year.

00:24 In fact, in cities like Buffalo,

00:26 Pittsburgh, Detroit, Columbus,

00:27 Charleston,

00:27 it's actually going to be warmer

00:29 than it normally is this time of the year.

00:31 47 degrees in Boston,

00:32 48 in New York City tomorrow,

00:34 54 in Washington DC.

00:35 Clouds start to increase a little bit

00:37 late in the day Pittsburgh toward Columbus,

00:39 but I think more sunshine

00:40 than clouds farther East.

00:42 It really is a very,

00:43 very nice Thursday,

00:44 but we have some changes on the way.

00:47 Let me take you out into the

00:49 western United States.

00:50 Here is our storm in the California.

00:52 It's relatively weak.

00:53 That's our next storm.

00:54 Just a couple of showers.

00:56 San Francisco,

00:56 maybe a shower in Los Angeles.

00:58 But this system is going

00:59 to come South and East.

01:01 Now initially,

01:01 as I mentioned,

01:02 it's going to be relatively weak.

01:04 How can you tell that?

01:05 Look at the code here.

01:07 The yellow just a little bit

01:08 of yellow and orange here.

01:10 So when you look at our upper level

01:12 energy map, that's where we're looking at.

01:15 But watch what happens as

01:16 we head toward tomorrow.

01:17 That system gets larger.

01:18 You see a larger area of color and you

01:21 know you're already already starting to

01:23 see here some oranges and some red.

01:25 So this system gets stronger.

01:27 That's why we're worried about severe

01:28 weather across the Central Gulf Coast.

01:30 States,

01:31 but this looks like it's going to be

01:33 a soaking rain in the Midwest.

01:34 Now the system is going to weaken a little bit.

01:37 You'll notice you start losing the

01:39 vibrant colors Friday afternoon,

01:40 Friday night.

01:41 You see that not as large and it

01:43 gets a little strung out here,

01:44 but this is still going to produce

01:46 at least a few hours of rain.

01:48 We think as it presses in toward

01:50 the Northeast should be a soaking

01:52 rain around Buffalo around Pittsburgh.

01:53 Then here comes the rain toward

01:55 Washington DC New York City.

01:57 As we get in the Friday afternoon,

01:59 there may be a little wet snow

02:00 with this on the northern side,

02:02 specially as we get into northern New England.

02:04 Even Southern New York.

02:05 There may be a little bit of

02:07 snowflakes at the beginning.

02:08 Then the storm continues to move East,

02:10 perhaps a little bit of snow in

02:12 the mountains of Vermont,

02:13 NH and maybe a little bit of snow in Maine here.

02:16 So we'll keep an eye on that.

02:17 Although the cold air a lot of the

02:19 cold air will be gone by the time

02:21 this storm does arrive,

02:22 so we'll watch that carefully here

02:24 while the while the storm does leave.

02:26 Notice we're not going to see a repeat.

02:28 At least into the weekend of it of

02:30 cold air coming in behind the storm,

02:33 but there is colder air coming next week.
