00:00We got some cold air in place and with cold air and a disturbance kicking through the Midwest,

00:04that spells trouble for some. It's cold out there, certainly some pre-existing cold air.

00:09Look at Green Bay at 21, but even into the Northeast, 20s, 30s. Warmest spot on the map

00:14here happens to be D.C. at 42 and even that is pretty chilly. We're going to have a cold

00:19Monday night football game at Foxboro tonight. Gillette Stadium there, chilling down to the

00:24low 20s. Thankfully there's not much wind out there, but it's going to be cold regardless

00:28and that moisture is streaming in. Lake effect snow is dwindling, but an actual storm system

00:33is approaching from the Midwest, so we're getting ready for that snow to move on in.

00:37So through the night, the leading edge of snow is going to be pushing through the Northeast

00:40and again, if you're a fan of snow, it's coming. If you have to travel tomorrow morning, it's

00:45going to be a mess out there. As we look at the daytime forecast, Tuesday into Tuesday night,

00:49the leading edge of snow continues to press quickly all the way up through Maine and in

00:54this purple zone, it's going to begin as snow, change over to a little bit of sleet

00:58and then over to rain eventually. And again, if you're near the blue side of the purple

01:04line, you're going to see a lot more snow. If you're near the green side, a faster changeover

01:08for you. Many areas under winter storm warnings from the Catskills up to coastal Maine, winter

01:14weather advisories and the light blue, that's one step down from a warning. In either case,

01:17you're going to have travel trouble if you're in one of those counties near and northwest

01:21of Interstate 95. Future radar and clouds, here it comes. You can see, we'll press pause

01:25around 7-8 a.m. and the leading edge of snow is going to be moving northeastward. Now at

01:30this time, 8 a.m. Eastern, probably snow in Boston. Snow will be mixing with rain and changing

01:36over to rain in New York. And in Philadelphia, we're going to be seeing that transition from

01:39snow to sleet to rain. The edge of the rain-snow line begins to lift a little farther north

01:46and east, north and west, I should say. So by 2 p.m. Tuesday, still snow in the Poconos,

01:51a mix in far north Jersey, changing over to rain. And in Boston, we're probably raining

01:56at that point, but the far western suburbs will see snow continue through the Worcester

02:01Hills, where you're going to see six-plus inches of snow. It'll be a hard hit. So again, here's

02:05a more zoomed-in look at Tuesday for the northeast. The far interior holding into snow, holding on

02:10to snow for the whole event, with one to three inches in the light blue. Three to six inches

02:14from central Ohio into northwest PA. Central and eastern parts of Pennsylvania, three-plus

02:19inches of snow. Western Massachusetts in the Berkshires, six to twelve inches of Worcester

02:23Hills, up into southern parts of New Hampshire, six to twelve inches. Pittsburgh, we're looking

02:27at one to three inches. A high-confidence forecast there, starting around 3 a.m. And AccuWeather's

02:33wintercast for Albany, four to six inches of snow. Now look for this product whenever you

02:37have snow in the forecast locally.
