00:00 Alright, we're tracking two storms over the next 24 hours. First storm northwest of Salt Lake City.
00:06 This will be tonight into Thursday from the Midwest to the Northeast.
00:10 And then, this is the stronger of the storms, number two.
00:14 That'll be Thursday night and into Friday. Let's track them one by one here.
00:18 Here's our first area of snow across the Intermountain West this afternoon.
00:21 And then you're going to start getting this snow band that's set up here from Des Moines toward Chicago late tonight and tomorrow morning.
00:27 Watch how that snow expands eastward. Northern Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, southern lower peninsula of Michigan toward southwest Ontario.
00:36 And I really do believe that this is the area that we're most likely to see one to three inches of snow later tonight and tomorrow.
00:43 Now, then we may continue to see that here across the southern tier of New York, northern Pennsylvania as that snow comes eastward.
00:49 Now, south of that band of snow, there'll be some lighter snow and flurries.
00:53 But the ground being so cold, road temperatures being well below freezing, this snow is going to accumulate on the roads.
01:00 By the way, here's storm number two. More on that in a second.
01:04 As far as your accumulation here, a general coating the three inches.
01:08 But I think the best bet for that one to three inches is going to be right in here.
01:11 Now, outside of this band, you're mostly a coating to an inch.
01:14 North of that band, coating to an inch. And I think that's the story also across southeastern New England.
01:19 Now, there will be slippery travel, no doubt about that.
01:21 And within that one to three inch band, don't be surprised if there's a four or five showing up in just a couple of spots.
01:27 All right. Here's round number two, a bigger area of snow.
01:31 Thursday night, Friday morning from Chicago in toward Detroit.
01:34 Then that snow will end from west to east across the northeast and mid Atlantic.
01:37 That snow Friday in the Friday afternoon and Friday evening.
01:42 Then as the storm departs, colder and drier air starts to come in from the north and west.
01:47 Although the snow will likely linger here in the Allegheny front in southwestern Pennsylvania and the Appalachians all the way down in the eastern parts of Tennessee.
01:56 As far as the snow is concerned, it's a much larger area of one to three inches of snow that we're dealing with here throughout the Midwest and the northeast.
02:04 You'll notice that three to six inch area around Pittsburgh, West Virginia.
02:08 And I'll tell you what, we've taken this toward Baltimore and Washington, D.C., where you can get three to six inches of snow.
02:13 Keep in mind this snow throughout the Midwest and the northeast, it's going to be that light, fluffy snow that can accumulate quickly and roads will quickly become snow covered.
02:24 Yeah, I'm trying.
