00:00Well, we're dealing with a couple of storms, two of them that will impact the northeast over the next several
00:04days.
00:04Very different storm systems. The first one Friday into Saturday, an icy mix early Friday in the Poconos, pooling northeast.
00:12We'll see a changeover to rain for many of us. Most of us further south will be very warm with
00:15some rain.
00:16And we've got snow building through the New England states.
00:18Let's take a look at highs on Friday. Big contrast, upper 60s in areas down around Richmond, Virginia.
00:23There could be a rumble of thunder amid your showers there, but we're stuck in the 30s into New England
00:27with snow accumulating.
00:28And Saturday, still some lingering snow, still accumulating in central New England.
00:33That's for the first storm system. That'll bring us some areas of the deeper blue, 6 to 12 inches of
00:37snow, into the Adirondacks, parts of the Green and White Mountains, 1 to 3 inches in Boston.
00:42Now, there's that first system. We really have a lot of eyes on the storm after this one, though, as
00:48well.
00:48So there's that sloppy mix, Scranton in the morning. This pools through the New England states.
00:52It's significant snow late Friday through Saturday into central New England, then fizzling Saturday afternoon and evening.
00:59But then we turn our attention to the south. We've got a storm that moves through the mid-Atlantic. That
01:04heads out to sea.
01:05Another one follows. That will help to seed and strengthen a coastal low.
01:09In the interior, there's going to be some snow, widespread snow, for the interior northeast, at least central Pennsylvania, parts
01:17of western Maryland, on Sunday.
01:20And a little farther south, we've got rain.
01:22So two potential storm scenarios.
01:24One is that this strengthens a little slower, a little more delayed, goes out to sea more with fewer impacts.
01:30If it strengthens more rapidly and hugs the coast, then we're dealing with a big winter storm.
01:35Our most likely scenario is kind of favoring the slightly farther east scenario, though there will be that interior disturbance.
01:41Regardless, it will bring us some snow and a rain-snow mix into areas around the Chesapeake and Delaware bays.
01:46So when we take a look at our initial snowfall forecast, one to three inches for most of the big
01:50cities.
01:51A little more in Boston, but there's potential for more along the beaches and in the mountains of West Virginia.
