00:00Let's take you to the Midwest now. This is where storms brought hail to parts of eastern Iowa earlier today.
00:06This was the scene in Cedar Rapids last night.
00:09We saw some of these reports, Jeff, talking about, you know, enough pea-sized hail that it was starting to
00:14kind of cover the ground.
00:15Yeah, what a way to start the day here for some of us here, even before sunrise and overnight.
00:19Now we have some more showers and thunderstorms pushing east.
00:22And this has been active this evening and this afternoon here in the parts of the Ohio Valley.
00:27And this is all the first part of the storm system that's going to make a lot of noise.
00:31And for some, some headlines across the Midwest and the Northeast, as some of you will soon see, your first
00:36snowflakes of the season tied to this.
00:38And as that moves east, cold air begins to spill south.
00:42Behind it, you can see a mix of rain and some snow showers there in Duluth tonight.
00:46Same story in the Sault Ste. Marie.
00:48Some of you have already seen some snow, obviously, earlier this fall.
00:50But rain showers in the Green Bay, a low of 34 there.
00:53Chicago down to 39 tonight.
00:55Detroit, you're dropped to 42.
00:56And rain showers in Indianapolis, Columbus, and Pittsburgh tonight.
00:59Thursday, we've got some chilly air in place.
01:02Rain showers at times, but gradually it will turn a little colder upstairs.
01:07And as this wave of colder air slides southward, you'll notice those brighter blues, the very light, light blue.
01:14That's cold air.
01:15And look at the flow running the length of Lake Michigan.
01:18This is going to be a lake effect snow producer in parts of northwest Indiana.
01:22It will get a little bit warmer with time, but overall, watch as the rain showers, we're going to go
01:28deeper into the future here.
01:29And we talked about those storms tonight.
01:31But as this rain shower set up, initially, lake effect rain downwind of Lake Michigan.
01:37That will give way to some lake effect snow.
01:39There it goes.
01:39Rain-snow mix.
01:41A lot of the time, this time of the year, you have to travel a little bit inland to get
01:44into accumulating lake effect snow
01:46because the immediate lake shore may be a little warmer.
01:48But it's going to get nippy out there, and we will see some light accumulations.
01:51There's the rain-snow mix there in the pink zone on Friday.
01:55And our snowfall forecast, we are forecasting 1 to 3 inches in far northwest Indiana,
02:003 to 6 inches in parts of the upper peninsula of Michigan.
02:03And our snowfall forecast, we'll see you next week.
