00:00It was feeling like summer. You probably broke out the shorts. Maybe you put the jackets away.
00:04The coats might be regretting that this morning and tomorrow morning. Let's talk about the snow
00:08first though. Who saw accumulation? Because yeah, there was some accumulation. Mainly everybody
00:13that has some blue on the map. It's a coating to up to two and a half inches is the
00:19top snow
00:19total that I have seen. But still, it's really it's late April at this point. Late April snow
00:24is late April snow. The good news, the images you see on the right hand side of your screen, not
00:29expecting many more of those tomorrow, but we do have the freeze warnings in effect. We have the
00:34frost advisories in effect in the lighter shade of pink here. Now, one thing to note, you're seeing
00:39some gaps on the map. Some of you, you don't quite get to the temperature criteria like New York City,
00:44for example, but others, you just maybe haven't started your growing season yet, which is part
00:50of the criteria for the freeze warning to go into effect. Let's put some numbers to it though,
00:55give you a better idea of what you're going to be dealing with tonight and tomorrow morning.
00:58So Boston, New York, we're at 35, 37 in DC, a bit above freezing, but still
01:03on the colder side. Though Pittsburgh, Buffalo up towards Burlington, you're in the 20s in that
01:08darkest shade of blue in central-ish New York, a little far south of what I consider central New
01:13York or what you usually think of. That's where we're in the teens. Yeah, it's a little rewind back
01:18to winter that we're dealing with. The good news, the rebound will be quick, but we're challenging
01:23records. This gives you another indication of just how cold it is going to be and how
01:27not typical that cold is for this time of year. However, we're not breaking a lot of records,
01:33or at least not set to. Scranton, you're set to break a record from 1925, so a relatively
01:37old record there. Trenton's set to tie a previous record from 1907 and then tie it in 1925, which
01:42you know, was a cold year apparently. Now, those of you who have started the garden already,
01:47you're the main people. I mean, everybody's going to be impacted by this. You need the coat,
01:50you need the warmer clothes, but if you've planted things, you're who wants to take action. If you
01:56already had the frost or the freeze last night and you didn't do anything, sorry, your plants are
02:00probably dead at this point. But if you're one of the areas that things are expanding to your area
02:04tomorrow, bring the plants inside if you can. If not, cover them up. That's the takeaway from this
02:09graphic, but just want to give you a visual of some of the tips of what to do. All right,
02:16let's move
02:16beyond the cold and talk about the rebound because, I mean, at least we're in the 50s,
02:21New York, 47, Boston, maybe not as great, but go further south to mid-Atlantic, go further west
02:26into Ohio, 60s, 70s. I mean, that's looking good. Now, you're seeing a contrast here, though,
02:31from the mid-Atlantic to the northeast. That's going to become an even starker contrast as we get
02:36later into the week. We also see a little bit more rain enter the region. Wednesday, it's more showers
02:41than it is rainfall, but let's take a look at it on future radar, give you a better picture of
02:45exactly what we're
02:45dealing with. So not only do you need the heavier jacket, the coat on the way out the door
02:50tomorrow, but especially if you're going to be out and about in the evening and you're in New York
02:54State or over towards the Ohio Valley, you probably want the umbrella or the rain jacket on standby
02:59too or coat with a hood, something to protect you from just enough rain to be annoying. Wednesday
03:04gets a little bit more widespread, some heavier downpours, especially in the mid-Atlantic
03:07and along the east coast. Interesting time for the morning commute, so keep that in mind. You could see
03:13some issues. Moves out as we get into Thursday, unless you're in Maine, then you see a little bit
03:18more snow working its way in, and you can see we just struggle to completely get rid of the moisture
03:22as we go through the next couple of days.
