00:00the big takeaways. So if you listen to nothing else, these are your headlines. We're going to
00:05see heavy rain, like I mentioned, one to four inches widespread, but some of you are going to
00:09see up to six inches of rain. That's our active, their local storm, stretching from Texas to the
00:14Carolinas. Some of these storms are going to be on the strongest severe side with all types of
00:18severe weather possible. And then, like we were talking about, into the northeast, the mid-Atlantic,
00:23we have that snow potential, but certainly not a big impact. Now, there's a lot going on this
00:27weekend, from Valentine's Day to Mardi Gras parades and the Daytona 500 on Sunday. And if you're in
00:33the south, Mother Nature is just really not cooperating. You saw brush fire there on your
00:37screen on the right-hand side just now. It's those dry conditions that we need the rainfall to fix,
00:42but not the best timing, and we're getting too much at once. So when it comes to the Daytona 500,
00:49specifically 5, 6 p.m., these are the times you should be looking out for for the thunderstorms.
00:53Right now, we're saying 6 p.m., but that timing could shift around a little bit in the next couple
00:58of days here as we get a better idea of exactly how fast the storms are progressing and when they
01:04actually get into Daytona Beach. Temperatures, not bad, but we could see some race delays because of
01:11the weather. Here's the flooding I was talking about. Anybody in green here be prepared for at least
01:16a little ponding on the roadways. It is going to be localized because we need the rainfall. Like I was
01:20talking about, we've had very dry conditions. We have that brush fire in Oklahoma that we were
01:23showing you. Across the board, we have drought in place. We need the rain, but it's too much all at
01:28once, and the soil just can't soak all of that up. The severe weather threat, that starts now. We're
01:34looking at all types of severe weather possible into the overnight hours, stretching from Odessa or
01:39even south of Odessa up north of Oklahoma City, so make sure you are practicing those weather-aware
01:45muscles. We haven't had to think about this in a little bit, but the severe weather, it is back.
01:50All right, let's take a look at how it progresses on future radar, then we'll break down more of
01:54the severe threats. So already that heavy rainfall stretching all the way up to Kansas City, but it's
01:59the southern extent we're focused on for any severe weather. Continuing on through your Saturday, I mean,
02:04this is a slow mover. We're really moving from Oklahoma City Saturday morning just to Little Rock by
02:10Saturday night. That's not a lot of progression. Towards the south along the Gulf Coast, that's where
02:16we really see this line of storms that's going to pose a threat, and really Saturday through Sunday
02:20overnight into Sunday morning, we could have severe weather that whole time, so really not much of a
02:26break here, especially if we look into New Orleans. You could see some thunderstorms Saturday, but then
02:30the severe weather threat Sunday as things shift even further to the east. Sunday morning, heavy rainfall in the
02:36Ohio Valley, but again, it's the southern extent that we're paying attention to. We work our way into
02:40Florida, and as tends to be the case, it's going to hang on here into Monday. Everybody else will be
02:44dry, but Florida, you've got to wait just a little bit longer. All right, let's take a look at the
02:50severe weather threat for your Saturday. This is the biggest severe weather day of the weekend. Now,
02:54is this a severe weather outbreak we're talking about? No, but it is February. Again, it's been a
02:59minute since we've had to think about this, and all types of severe weather possible here. Again,
03:03though, it's the damaging wind gusts, the flooding, and isolated tornadoes that are going to be most likely here.
03:08Things shift to the east Sunday, just like I was talking about, all the way down towards Orlando
03:12for this severe threat from New Orleans all the way towards Orlando.
