00:00The trend really continues this week with the snow and the cold.

00:03I mentioned what you started the week with.

00:05That's what you're going to be dealing with really the rest of the week.

00:07Let's take a look at how this plays out into the northeast and the north central,

00:12the Great Lakes, the northern half of the country, just about.

00:14Jeff will cover the northwest, though.

00:16All right, zooming into radar and satellite,

00:18we're working on getting that snow out of there,

00:20but let's take a quick look at the storm reports.

00:23How much snow have we seen?

00:24A lot of snow reports populating here, and we just got even more that loaded here.

00:285.1 inches into southern Virginia, further to the north, 3 inches.

00:33Let's take a look at West Virginia with a 5-inch report with snow still falling.

00:38I want to point out these snow reports because it is significant,

00:42especially this part of the country, to get 5 inches of snow in 24 hours.

00:46Yeah, that causes some problems.

00:486 inches, snow starting to wind down in eastern Virginia.

00:52We get to North Carolina, and we have a trace reported, 3 tenths of an inch.

00:56The snow total is not as impressive, but still, hey, it's North Carolina.

00:59It's early December.

01:00It's not even technically winter yet.

01:02And the alerts, they continue.

01:04Winter storm warnings, winter storm watches, winter weather advisories.

01:07And one other thing to point out here, we also have high wind warnings.

01:11That is a cold front, not a line on the pen like I wanted to draw, but you get the point.

01:16Wind and snow, that is the concern because that is a bad, bad combination.

01:21Let's break down how it plays out.

01:23Round after round of snow throughout the week as we get clipper system after clipper system.

01:28Here's what it looks like on future radar here.

01:30So we exit from Virginia.

01:33The attention turns to the Great Lakes as we head into tomorrow morning.

01:37But I want to point out, too, we have system number one here right around Michigan.

01:41System number two, not too far off.

01:44In fact, when I show you our snow map here in just a minute, both of these systems are on one snow map because it's one right after the other.

01:51We'll continue to play this out through the day on Tuesday.

01:54We start to get into the northeast, somewhere like Chicago.

01:57That's where you really need to watch out for the mix of types of precipitation.

02:00We could see some freezing rain.

02:02We could see some sleet.

02:03We could see very dangerous situations on the roads because of the freezing rain or the sleet.

02:08Now, overall, we talk about this snow.

02:10It's not crazy snow totals.

02:12It's really more about how many days you're going to get snow this week versus how many inches of snow you end up seeing.

02:19As we go through Wednesday, we get into the evening overnight hours.

02:23A switch takes place.

02:24It's now lake effect snow.

02:25Our clipper is out of here.

02:27That's going to be a separate snow map that I will show you here.

02:31All right.

02:31We continue on through time here.

02:32There's even a late week system that's going to move through.

02:35But I want to focus in on the short term here, this snow map.

02:38We're getting up to a 6 to 12 inch category.

02:40It's not very widespread.

02:43It's very small areas that could get up to the AccuWeather local storm acts of 15 inches.

02:47Again, it's not about the amount of snow.

02:49It's about the combination with the wind, especially.

02:52Somewhere like Chicago, we get a coating to an inch, about 12 hours of snow overall.

02:56But take a look at the wind concerns.

02:59Omaha, Sioux Falls, Minot, North Dakota, 40, 50, even up to 60, 70 plus mile per hour wind gusts.

03:05That can create rapid drops in visibility that are going to be a concern.

03:09Even as this moves east since the lake affects snow, snow squalls are a concern as well.

03:13For more information on the weekends, this is a first mile.

03:16We have a Bakradian that's going to be a concern for the windленing.

03:17Where is it?

03:18Watch this, when you move around.

03:19You can see the wind.

03:20That can make a look of the wind.

03:21That can make a look.

03:21Over here, if you move around.

03:23That can make a look.

03:24I'll show you a bit.

03:24That can be a beautiful eye for the wind.

03:26It's not about the wind.

03:27I can make a look.

03:29I'm ready to look at the wind.

03:29It's not about the wind.

03:30It's not about the wind.

03:32Where is it?

03:33It's not about the wind.

03:35It's not about the wind.

03:36It's not about the wind.

03:37It's so small or the wind.
