00:00This is your mild day enjoy it and we're still holding on to 66 in Houston but
00:04we're getting ready for trouble and there are two storms that will soon
00:06impact us across the east. The first of which is bringing the rain from southern
00:11Missouri through Arkansas into Louisiana and Mississippi. That's moving through
00:15these areas that will be leading to an increasing amount of rain for the
00:19southeast. Storm system number one's greatest impact will be in the form of
00:23rain in the south and there will be some snow in the far interior northeast
00:27associated with this first wave but overall its most significant impact
00:32beyond the one to three inches in some of these blue zones is that it will
00:36deliver colder air. So behind this again a cold front fires on through and then
00:42that sets the table for wave number two. The trailing wave to become our second
00:47storm system. So there's Saturday morning showers through Saturday afternoon at
00:50times for the northeast but here comes wave number two that develops right over
00:54our heads. Snow is going to be intensifying for many areas here along
00:59I-95. We're forecasting three to six inches of snow in Baltimore tied to this
01:03and again widespread snow coming up the coast. Now it is going to be a forecast
01:08that has a lot of tight transitions from one side of the storm to the other. For
01:13example in areas like Philadelphia Center City we're forecasting one to
01:16three inches of snow but there could be widespread three to sixes just barely
01:20northwest and all the way up into areas like New York City we're forecasting two
01:23to four inches of snow in New York City proper. Again Philadelphia one to three
01:28for Center City but barely north of there and west of there you're going to
01:31climb quite a bit higher. There's the footprint of snow for Sunday and overall
01:35as this pivots through the area we're going to see that snow pick up at
01:38Lincoln Financial Field there. The turf is heated there so we'll have to see how it
01:42accumulates.
