00:02Let's take you into the northeast now, where storms brought hail to central Pennsylvania last night.
00:06It was pretty small, probably pea-sized, a little bigger in some cases, but you can see it was a
00:11lot at once.
00:12I had this at my place. I had the blinds closed. You know, it was after dark.
00:17All of a sudden, I'm hearing, hmm, is that hail?
00:21Looked out the window, sure enough, and there it was.
00:24This is not my video, but very similar site at my place versus there in Phillipsburg.
00:30Now, thankfully, we get a little bit of a break from the severe weather, but it will be returning later
00:35this week, especially for the Ohio Valley.
00:37We're going to talk about that in a second, but I want to talk short-term first.
00:40What should you expect overnight?
00:42Well, we still have some flurries lingering in places like Buffalo, Burlington.
00:46It's that time of year. They're dwindling, especially the frequency of the flurries, but we can't quite get rid of
00:52them just yet.
00:53You can see our temperatures, well, still trending low enough that even in Boston, right around freezing, you can see
00:58some flurries as well.
01:00We've seen the drop that we've been talking about. Temperature roller coaster, it continues.
01:07And I want to put some perspective on this because for somewhere like Boston, Burlington, you're actually in the ballpark
01:12where you should be this time of year.
01:13When we look at historical averages, so what's considered normal for this point in March.
01:18But somewhere like Pittsburgh, even down into Charleston, you're a few degrees below.
01:25It's not awful in D.C. either, but Buffalo, you're a little bit more dramatic.
01:2936 versus your historical average of 44.
01:31We're going to start to get closer once again. That's how this goes, right?
01:35We see the dramatic drop, and then we inch our way back up closer to our historical averages.
01:40I mentioned the severe weather. Here's a look. What to expect.
01:43Now, right now, it's a level one out of four low-end threat of severe weather.
01:47It's not out of the question for us to see a moderate area, level two out of four added at
01:51some point in the next couple of days.
01:53Either way, though, here's what you need to be prepared for.
01:56This does not look like a big tornado event.
01:59However, any severe weather day, I'm always going to tell you, be prepared for all types of severe weather.
02:05This, though, looks mostly like a damaging wind event, but even up to 85 miles per hour.
02:09That can cause significant damage, especially to mobile homes, for example, but tree limbs down, power outages, even some roof
02:15and siding damage to homes that are not mobile homes.
02:20So it's still something to take seriously.
02:21You want to stay weather aware.
02:22We could see more hail and also could see some downpours that lead to at least a little bit of
02:27ponding, if not some localized flash flooding.
02:30So who needs to be ready?
02:31Everybody's shaded in yellow here.
02:32It stretches from Missouri through St. Louis up to Chicago.
02:35We're hitting other major cities in Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus, stretching just close to the Pennsylvania border there into eastern Ohio.
02:43Now, one thing to keep in mind, too, Thursday, opening day, we could see some big impacts there.
02:48Even if you're not involved in any opening day festivities, could still see some problems.
02:55All right.
02:55Going through future radar here, you can see the lingering snow showers.
02:59Tuesday, we get a little clipper moving through northern Michigan and then into northern portions of the northeast.
03:04A bit more rain as we go through our Wednesday afternoon.
03:08But again, the higher impact situation is going to be once we get to Thursday.
03:13There's our storm starting to move in in the afternoon into the evening.
03:17Thursday, we'll be back in the afternoon.
03:17Thursday, we'll be back in the afternoon.
