00:00 Coming up Thursday night into the weekend, an additional storm is coming and hitting a lot of the same places that are getting hit as we speak.
00:08 It's been a dangerous and treacherous day across the plains in Midwest.
00:12 Snow and blizzard conditions are causing a mess on the roads in Iowa as well as Nebraska.
00:17 And this winter storm is not done yet.
00:19 And as we just mentioned with Michelle, another storm is coming for some of these same areas later this week.
00:25 I know that portions of I-80, portions of I-70 were closed for business yesterday into today.
00:32 And as we take a look at what has happened here as far as the snowfall reports,
00:37 yeah, portions of Nebraska got more than a foot of snow.
00:40 South Dakota, Iowa, we got some impressive totals in there as well.
00:44 Now as far as the current radar picture, boy, it's been a snowy evening across the Great Lakes here from Chicago up to Green Bay.
00:51 I know at one point today Chicago's O'Hare Airport did have a ground stop, but I believe they're back running now.
00:57 But it's just been some nasty weather out there, whether you're traveling by car or hitting the airports.
01:01 If you look at the current winter weather situation as far as the advisories, hey, it's still dangerous to travel out there anywhere in the blue.
01:08 The winter storm warning is in the dark blue.
01:10 You've also got winter weather advisories across lower Michigan.
01:13 The wind is blowing. The snow is falling.
01:16 And as this storm advances into this Tuesday night, we know we've got the flooding concerns and the severe weather across the eastern Carolinas down into Florida
01:24 and also the snow that continues to fly from the Great Lakes to the Midwest.
01:28 Now the snowfall forecasts we're expecting by the time the sun comes out tomorrow morning,
01:32 we will have seen a large swath of 6 to 12 inches of snow here from areas north of Chicago into eastern Nebraska.
01:39 So a pretty impressive snowstorm here, especially for a winter that hasn't been too snowy so far.
01:44 The wind has also been a big problem.
01:46 We've been showing you some of the power outage maps.
01:48 Well, take a look at it.
01:49 The last 24 hours, peak wind gusts.
01:51 Omaha had a gust of 45, Indianapolis 30.
01:55 You're also looking at the current wind direction as well.
01:57 You see where the center of that low is.
01:59 It's pretty much right over Chicago.
02:00 So wind advisories and even some high wind warnings are still in place here across portions of the eastern Great Lakes.
02:06 Remember these high wind warnings, the dark purple, that's gusts over 50 miles an hour.
02:10 That's coastal areas of the east coast and also the eastern Great Lakes.
02:14 It's cold behind this storm.
02:16 Low of 4 tonight in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
02:18 Snow tonight in Chicago, down just below freezing.
02:22 And then Wednesday we'll see another little bit of snow move in across the upper Midwest.
02:26 But a big cold, a big cool down is coming here, folks, as we head through the week.
