00:00Well, as we head into the middle of the week, we have a couple storms to talk about. It makes
00:03sense, right? We have plenty of rainfall and snow moving into the west, and some of those
00:08make it further east, and we end up with impacts into the Midwest and even into the northeast. So
00:14let's break down exactly what to expect, give you an idea of how all of this plays out. We'll
00:19start, of course, with a look at future radar. So quiet to start off your Tuesday. We're not
00:24really looking at issues for your morning commute if you are west of the Rockies. But watch what
00:29happens as we play this out. We see some moisture working its way in, and the core of the storm
00:34system is further north. The front, though, is where we see some issues. We're going to
00:38see snow. We're going to see rain and thunderstorms. Not totally out of the question to see a couple
00:42of these, strong to severe, but we're not talking about a widespread severe weather threat, really.
00:46Heavy downpours, though, into Chicago and a couple rounds of it throughout your Wednesday.
00:51Then we have more moisture that moves its way in another system Wednesday night into Thursday,
00:55so it's one right after the other. Thursday brings the bigger severe weather threat into
01:00the Ohio Valley. It's going to be more widespread, but right now still a low-end risk. Just keep that
01:05in your brain for your later in the week plans. Know you're going to have to start thinking about
01:09severe thunderstorms. So for Tuesday night into Wednesday, here's our footprint. Very far northern
01:15portions of the north central and Great Lakes regions are where we see the snow, but right along the
01:19international border, we could see up to or even more than a foot of snow, so pretty significant
01:24year. But some thunderstorms working their way down into the Ohio Valley. Here's what I was talking
01:29about with the snow. You can see the area shaded in dark blue here right along the border. That's
01:34where we see some of our higher totals, but for most of us, it's just 1 to 3 inches overall.
01:40We do get
01:40snow that works its way into the northeast, though. Again, most of us see 1 to 3 inches, but higher
01:46elevations, especially into the Adirondacks, the Green and White Mountains, that's where we could see
01:50closer to our Accuather Local Storm X of 14 inches of snow. So just a reminder, winter, not quite done
01:57yet.
