00:00The AccuWeather meteorologist Joe Lumberg, the crystal ball, Joe, lots to talk about.
00:05Last week at this time, we were talking about this.
00:10If you look at the pattern for next week, there's probably going to be some moisture coming in still from the tropics through much of Florida,
00:16so I think it's still wet down there.
00:18As this front comes through, as I mentioned, limited moisture with it.
00:21There'll be some showers with it, but then they depart.
00:24Cool air comes in for Thursday and Friday, then it warms up again.
00:26In fact, that warming takes place in the Plain States early next week, probably by Tuesday afternoon,
00:31and then spreading quickly eastward.
00:34Watch out in the southwest.
00:35Maybe some moisture sneaks in from the tropics late in the week and next weekend.
00:40We had a little more rain than I thought we were going to get, Joe, in the northeast with that front,
00:45but the overall picture that you highlighted for us this week, last week, was spot on.
00:52Yeah, getting that tropical moisture coming into the southwest right now.
00:55There's going to be some places that are going to have to deal with some significant flooding, which you'll detail.
00:58Let's talk about next week.
01:00Big storm that we're talking about for the mid-Atlantic and northeast.
01:02That will slowly depart early in the week.
01:05It'll remain cool, though, across the northeast.
01:07Meanwhile, warm, warm, and dry weather across much of the southern Plains states into the south.
01:13It'll be cool and wet for California as a big upper-level low rolls in from the west.
01:16Here's the most recent U.S. drought.
01:18Monitoring notice that, obviously, most places from the Rockies on west have some sort of drought issue at this point in time.
01:23That's the case as well from the Mississippi Valley into the northeast.
01:27It is really, the rain that we saw with this front that came through the east this week, really not going to have much of an impact on it.
01:32Notice these areas here, the mid-Atlantic coastal areas, those areas are not in need of a lot of rain,
01:38but that's probably where a lot of the rain is going to end up being with the storm system.
01:41Still, the one this weekend, the big thing is going to be the wind and rain with that.
01:45And the system, once it moves away, then you go back into a generally dry pattern.
01:49And so these areas are not going to get much different in terms of drought relief.
01:53In fact, if you go to the pattern for later next week, an area of low pressure in here slowly but surely moves away.
01:59A little shot of cool air comes in late next week and next weekend.
02:02Most of the middle part of the country will enjoy above-historical average temperatures.
02:06Meanwhile, a deep upper-level truffle low pressure means showers of rain and snow in the northwest.
02:11You know, yesterday when we were talking about this show, Joe, I said, you know, let's give our viewers something in the longer range.
02:18And this is what you came up with.
02:20It kind of pieced together things, and it looks like there's going to be a more active jet stream coming into the Pacific northwest.
02:25You'll see more episodes of these storms coming down, maybe into northern California with rain and mountain snow.
02:31Unfortunately, it's going to be dry here across the south.
02:33Great if you've got outdoor activities, but you're in need of rain.
02:35And there'll be some more cool shots.
02:37And again, this is highlighting the period from late October into early November.
