00:00Taking a look, we have one tie on the board here. Bangor, Maine, tying the previous record from 1946.
00:05Everybody else, though, breaking a previous record. All of these in the 80s.
00:10And take a look at Caribou, Maine. That previous record was in the 70s, so 11 degrees warmer today's high overall.
00:16Now, let's talk more about the cold front, though. Here's another look at radar.
00:20We've been tracking this cell here over Lake Michigan.
00:23Actually, let's take a look at the alerts at this point.
00:25We do still have that marine warning here just against the state of Michigan over Lake Michigan.
00:30This is mainly because of smaller boats that could be in the lake, could be impacted by water spouts, the stronger gusty winds, things like that that make for a dangerous situation.
00:39You also see the freeze watches and the freeze warnings as the cold front passes. Temperatures drop. That's how it works, right?
00:45Now, our footprint for tomorrow, we see this thing move to the east, but not by too much.
00:50If you reach the Ohio Valley, you get another day of heavy rain and thunderstorms, which just enhances that flash flooding risk.
00:56Into the northeast, though, it's been so dry, the gusty winds out ahead of the rainfall, it's leading to a higher fire threat.
01:03Now, it's not until late afternoon that we have enough rainfall to offset the wind and the warmth and the dry conditions that lead to that perfect storm for a wildfire.
01:11Something to keep in mind. Make sure you're taking those precautions.
01:13We take a look at future radar here somewhere like Chicago.
01:16You're waking up to some rainfall. Could impact your morning commute down into the Ohio Valley as well.
01:20Places like Louisville, Charleston, Columbus, even up towards Cleveland.
01:24We start to get into the northeast, but it's not widespread until the afternoon.
01:29We get to 5 p.m., the evening commute. It really is the northeast, but still the Ohio Valley that has the biggest impacts here.
01:35Now, we're not talking about any kind of widespread severe weather.
01:38Maybe some locally damaging wind gusts, but flash flooding is really the biggest concern into the Ohio Valley.
01:44If you're watching along the I-95 corridor, the east coast, it's Wednesday or it's Tuesday overnight into Wednesday, Wednesday morning, that you get the rain and thunderstorms.
01:53It's going to take the first half of the day really to get this out of here.
01:57By the evening, though, the cold front is off the coast. We clear out even the clouds.
02:01Now, overall, we're talking less than an inch of rainfall in the northeast.
02:06That means it's not drought busting. We have another dry spell that follows this rain.
02:09So when do we get the significant relief that we need?
02:13Well, it looks like mid-month we get a beneficial pattern change that brings several rounds of rain.
