00:0030,000 addresses in New York, 25,000 in Pennsylvania, and 10,000 in Connecticut.
00:04So we add them together, and we've got 65,000 addresses in the dark in the Northeast, plus Michigan.
00:10So Michigan's still running ahead there on a leaderboard that you don't want to be on the top of.
00:14But overall, again, a lot of the outages are from last night.
00:18And, you know, last night, some of you may have gotten into bed around 10.30 or 11 p.m.
00:22Philadelphia, maybe a little later than that in New York City.
00:25And then the front arrived.
00:26Tenacious winds picked up.
00:27Tornado warnings were issued into central New Jersey, and we had some really nasty wind.
00:33Gusts of 50 to 60 miles per hour for some, 60 to 70 miles per hour into the Philadelphia metro,
00:37and also Lancaster and Redding and into Philly.
00:40And then the New York metro got in on it, and Newark and other areas within the tri-state had
00:46gusts of 65 to 75 miles per hour.
00:49Some screaming winds with the front last night.
00:52Straight line winds, a big deal there with a severe weather setup.
00:55So even if there wasn't lightning, it was still intense.
00:58Here we head farther west, and now we've got snow on the ground, as of this morning, at least in
01:02many areas.
01:03Snow fell all the way down into parts of northern Alabama.
01:06And the snow showers and snow squalls, they were pretty widespread hours ago.
01:10But as we move forward, here we go through 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock.
01:14We're looking back through the afternoon.
01:15The footprint of these areas of snow and snow showers, it's going to begin to shrink down, but they're still
01:21intact for the most part right now.
01:23Overall, a big trough sets in, and it's been here for a day.
01:26It'll be remaining into the day tomorrow, so just episodes of colder air.
01:30This is not the last one, but it's one of the late-season blasts of cold.
01:35It's just kind of as a reminder.
01:36We're not fully into spring mode yet.
01:38Spring does begin this weekend at the end of the week here.
01:40But Wednesday, still cold.
01:42If we look at the high temperatures and kind of place them up against the historical averages,
01:47we're still in early February mode in Boston and New York, Harrisburg 40, more like a mid-February day there.
01:54So we're running a bit behind, at least in the short term, but we've had some warmth earlier in the
01:58month,
01:58so it does kind of balance itself out for some.
02:00Meanwhile, we're a little bit nippy with some light snow into areas around the Great Lakes.
02:04Into Thursday, more in the way of orange.
02:07Not as cold here.
02:08We're going to begin to warm back up a little bit more.
02:10So here's future radar showing a little more context for the decay and the disappearance of these snow showers in
02:16the short term.
02:17New disturbance comes in and really does not pack much of a punch.
02:21Wednesday afternoon, some light rain showers from Columbus to Zanesville down into areas like Huntington, West Virginia,
02:26pooling a little bit farther north and east into parts of western Pennsylvania, upstate New York.
02:30We'll see a little bit more in the way of light snow develop, but it does not look like a
02:33big one.
02:34It won't be a major one, just a coating to an inch for a lot of us.
02:37And then another disturbance follows, but we're going to be warmer by the time this one rolls in.
02:41So unless you're in the high ground of the Adirondacks or way up near Messina or the international border north
02:46of Burlington or Plattsburgh,
02:47it's a rain event for most of you.
02:49And that's what we're dealing with.
02:51So again, a big warming trend.
02:53There's the orange on the map.
02:54That takes over for Saturday.
02:55We're looking forward to it before another more abbreviated chill down follows.
