00:00Well, this week is going to end the way it started, stormy and snowy.

00:06But this time, the accumulating snow looks like it's going to be across mid-Atlantic.

00:11All right, the ingredients for this storm start with what?

00:14An injection of cold air.

00:16It's already moved across the Midwest.

00:18It'll be coming into the Northeast Thursday, Thursday night, and that cold air will funnel

00:22its way down into the Carolinas.

00:24Meanwhile, the storm that produced the snow in Denver on Wednesday will round the bend,

00:31move across East Texas, then move to the East Northeast.

00:34Now, from East Texas toward the Southeast, this is going to be a chilly rain.

00:38The forecast question, though, is do we have enough moisture on the northern side of this

00:43storm in the cold air for snow?

00:44We think there's a good possibility of that.

00:46That's why we are forecasting for at least some accumulating snow across Virginia, and

00:51the snow may get as far north as Philadelphia and southern New Jersey.

00:55Cities like Washington, D.C., Baltimore can get a couple of inches of snow.

01:00And as you head south, let's say from Richmond toward Roanoke, probably some snow that goes

01:06over to some freezing rain and sleet.

01:08And even in northern North Carolina, including Raleigh, there could be a little snow and sleet

01:14before a changeover to rain.

01:16It won't be a big storm, but it could be an impactful one for parts of Virginia, resulting

01:22in very slippery travel on Friday.
