00:00When you look at official weather center or weather station reports, it's one one-hundredth of an inch of snow,
00:08maybe three one-hundredths of an inch of accumulation.
00:11That's basically no accumulation, really, when we're talking about things.
00:14I do want to focus on the visibility here for a second, though.
00:17Frederick, Maryland, one of the areas that I was watching very closely the last couple of hours, for about two
00:22hours there, you had three-quarters of a mile of visibility.
00:25We're up to one now, though you can see the standard, when you have no issues, is ten miles.
00:30So, still a few impacts out there, but our areas where we're seeing issues, the shading on our map here,
00:37they're shrinking.
00:38We're moving in the right direction.
00:40Zooming in on where the action is, though, with the snow over the last couple of hours, we're going to
00:43start to see the snow come to an end in D.C.
00:46As you can see, things are shifting further to the east.
00:49Further south, it's rain, but we're going to start to see things moving north and east as time goes on
00:53here,
00:53which is why we do have winter weather advisories out, and even a few winter storm warnings into some higher
00:59elevations in West Virginia.
01:01So, you have the alerts to give you an idea.
01:03Hmm, there could be some slick spots.
01:04This is something I need to pay attention to.
01:06What exactly do you need to be prepared for?
01:09We'll start with the overnight.
01:10We start to see things shift, and it's really this area in pink-purple, kind of matching my dress, actually.
01:17That's where I want to focus, because that's where we're going to see the most slick spots.
01:21Freezing rain, sleet, it's all in the forecast here.
01:24Let's take a look at future radar and break it down.
01:27Then we'll take a look at tomorrow's snapshot, give you a better idea of what happens where.
01:30So, we start out with really a mid-Atlantic focus for the next couple of hours,
01:34but as the clock goes past midnight, we start to see that shift north and east.
01:39Then we start to see more of the blue, more of the pink, indicating the snow, the wintry mix, the
01:44ice.
01:44By 6 a.m., even Philadelphia, I mean, not a bad idea to give yourself a couple extra minutes on
01:50your morning commute.
01:51Could see some slick spots really across from Philadelphia to just east of Pittsburgh is where the morning commute highlights
01:58for the rough spots are.
02:00Then things continue on north into the region.
02:03Northern New England, upstate New York, that's where any accumulating snowfall really will be focused,
02:08and we're only talking an inch or two at the most, really, but we do have that in between where
02:15we have problems.
02:16Light pink, we're starting a snow, we're switching to rain.
02:19Maybe we see a few slick spots, but it really is this color.
02:23Like I said, it's kind of similar to my dress.
02:25That was not on purpose.
02:26That's where I'm more concerned about the freezing rain, the sleet coating the roads with a thin layer of ice
02:32that really starts to cause some problems.
02:34The good news, because I've got to leave you on a positive note, there's the warm-up Jeff was talking
02:39about.
02:40It starts to move in Friday, Saturday, shifts further into the northeast by Saturday afternoon.
