00:00Possible tornado was spotted in Delaware today as a strong storm impacts the northeast.
00:05We've been tracking continued severe weather as we've gone throughout the late afternoon here.
00:11But the biggest concerns with this storm, Jeff, they're going to start to shift.
00:15Yeah, we're dealing with severe weather kind of in its final stages pulling off the coast as we get into
00:21the evening.
00:21But there's going to be a big change in the wind here and colder air is going to dive in.
00:26So rain will change over to some mountain snow.
00:28You can see widespread rain out there this evening.
00:31It's going to be a wet time in East Rutherford for Thursday night football and just kind of a raw
00:37night here with temperatures dropping.
00:38And overall, as we get into Friday morning, the rain will change over to snow.
00:42And this is going to be wet snow that likely melts on impact in the low elevations.
00:46But we will see some accumulating snow into the higher ground.
00:49And that's going to be a problem here if you're traveling over the mountain passes or up into the high
00:54ground of the area around the Poconos
00:57or the area around the Catskills where you will see one to three inches of snow in some spots,
01:02even three to six in the highest elevations of the Catskills.
01:05And then as we get into Friday, just a cooler time, a colder time for most of us.
01:08And then lake effect snow sets in.
01:10And it's going to be lake effect rain for some and lake effect snow for others.
01:14Saturday, chilly weather crossing that relatively warm Great Lake water.
01:21That's going to be leading to that production of rain and some mountain snow and even inland snow outside of
01:26the mountains here.
01:27The lakeshore temps are probably going to be warm enough that we don't see many accumulations right along the immediate
01:32lakeshore.
01:33But we will in the higher ground inland.
01:35Here are the winter weather advisories tied to all this.
01:37North Central PA, the Catskills, the Adirondacks, areas around the Green Mountains, and then downwind of the Western Lakes as
01:43well.
01:44And that includes a little bit of northeastern Illinois, northwest Indiana, Traverse City, Michigan, west to Empire, Michigan there near
01:49Sleeping Bear Dunes.
01:50And also Marquette, Michigan, seeing winter weather advisory here where accumulating snow is going to be a hazard for travelers.
01:56It's going to be a problem out there.
01:58So after a few tornadoes touched down today in parts of the Mid-Atlantic and northeast, colder air filters in.
02:05And now the lake effect snow is going to be a bigger storyline moving forward in the areas that face
02:11a few inches of snow.
02:12And the mountains are going to get the worst of it here, separate from the true lake effect of the
02:15Adirondacks, the Green Mountains.
02:17There you can see Saturday, Saturday night, Sunday morning, there's some snow out there in the mountains and some rain
02:22and snow mixed immediately downwind of the lakes.
02:25How much are we looking at?
02:26In the light blue, we're looking at a coating to an inch.
02:28In the second shade, one to three inches of snow.
02:31So, again, don't let that one to three plot near New York City for you.
02:35You won't see any snow in New York City, but that's trying to label the second shade of blue up
02:40into the area around the Poconos and some of the area around the Catskills.
02:45And then three to six inches at the highest elevations in some of those areas.
02:48You won't see any snow in New York City for you.
