00:00 Well, we continue to track this a
00:01 monstrous storm that continues to
00:03 plow here across a lot of the
00:05 central and eastern US and it's
00:07 not just the heavy rain and severe
00:09 weather we're concerned about.
00:10 But hey, that is a big problem there,
00:13 especially around the South
00:14 right along that Gulf Coast.
00:16 But hey, points further north.
00:17 You're seeing that we're cranking
00:19 out some heavy, heavy snow,
00:20 and with this storm, well, hey,
00:22 it's going to be blowing around a lot
00:24 of that precipitation too as well.
00:26 If we look at the setup here into Tuesday
00:28 night we're going to see those winds.
00:31 Really start to pick up howling here.
00:33 That's going to extend from the Midwest
00:35 Ohio Valley into the Northeast with
00:37 our highest winds being right there
00:38 along the eastern seaboard,
00:39 southern New England down to
00:41 the mid Atlantic coast.
00:42 We could see gusts between
00:43 60 to 80 mph, but hey,
00:45 I wouldn't be surprised if we got a
00:47 wind report as high as 90 mph.
00:49 Meanwhile, a little bit back further
00:50 West across the interior Northeast
00:51 down through the Ohio Valley.
00:53 And of course the Midwest.
00:54 We could still see gusts between
00:56 40 to 60 mph when you look at
00:58 the snow, but it's still a little
00:59 bit higher than 90 mph when you
01:01 pair the winds of course with the snow.
01:03 Hey, you're going to have some
01:05 problems there on the road,
01:06 and if we look at total snowfall
01:08 here in to Tuesday night,
01:09 we have a dark blue bullseye here
01:11 that extends across eastern Iowa.
01:12 That's going to be our 12 to 18 inch
01:15 mark there with your accurate local
01:17 storm X as high as 20 inches falling
01:19 within that heaviest band,
01:20 but we still do have some heavy
01:22 and significant snow pulling
01:23 through across a lot of Nebraska,
01:25 eastern Nebraska up through most of
01:27 Iowa, Southern Wisconsin,
01:28 including Green Bay.
01:29 And then of course across
01:30 Western and Michigan.
01:31 That's where we could still see
01:33 upwards to a foot of snow.
01:35 6 to 12 inches.
01:36 In fact,
01:36 meanwhile,
01:37 out ahead of this storm across the Northeast,
01:39 we're talking about some big power
01:41 outage risk here Tuesday into Wednesday.
01:43 That's going to extend right there
01:45 through western central Pennsylvania,
01:46 up through western New York,
01:47 where we could see some widespread
01:49 power outage issues.
01:50 Also there right along the immediate
01:52 coast down through the Cape,
01:54 the Southern Cape,
01:54 and then down through the
01:56 Southern Cape down through Southern
01:58 New England as well,
01:59 including Long Island.
02:00 But even regional power outage
02:01 risks are going to extend for areas
02:03 like New York City down through
02:05 Philadelphia now on top of the winds.
02:07 We're also tracking some heavy rain
02:08 and that's going to cause a major
02:10 flood risk because hey,
02:11 like we just saw this past weekend,
02:13 we had a lot of snow fall
02:15 in some of these areas.
02:16 I know New York,
02:17 Philly you missed out on all your snow,
02:19 but even so with the combination
02:21 of snow melts and rain, well,
02:23 hey, we're talking big problems
02:24 here Tuesday into Tuesday night,
02:25 and that's of course going to extend
02:27 right here through New England down
02:29 through eastern Pennsylvania through
02:30 the mid Atlantic we are talking about.
02:33 Roadways underwater dangerous travel folks.
02:35 It is so easy to achieve flooding,
02:37 especially in these urban areas.
02:38 Make sure you're staying weather aware,
02:40 taking precautions and never ever
02:41 driving through these flooded areas
02:43 or roadways turn around.
02:44 Don't drown.
02:45 We're also concerned about rapidly
02:46 rising creeks and rivers when all
02:48 is said and done.
02:49 How much know are we really
02:51 talking about here?
02:52 Well, right through central Pennsylvania
02:53 and will hey,
02:54 right around Accuweather HQ we could
02:56 see upwards of three to six inches.
02:58 Now that snow is going to be mixed
03:00 with sleet here into the northeast.
03:02 So hey,
03:02 not all the way big poppy snow
03:04 that we've been talking about.
03:05 It's going to be a little
03:07 messy there at times,
03:08 but even points further north,
03:10 especially there across Western Maine.
03:12 That's where we could still see
03:13 upwards 2 to 12 inches Tuesday,
03:15 all the way through Wednesday night.
03:17 So hey,
03:17 this storm is bringing us it all.
03:19 Of course,
03:20 you're going to want to stay tuned
03:22 into the Accuweather app.
03:23 Accuweather network and on our website as
03:25 we're going to continue to track this
03:27 winter storm.
