00:00We've had about an inch in
00:01Charleston so far here.
00:03I want to show you some of the snowfall
00:05totals across Tennessee, Kentucky,
00:07and West Virginia so far.
00:08It hasn't been a lot of snow,
00:10but it's been enough.
00:12Owensboro,
00:12Kentucky and at four inches.
00:14Bowling Green 3.3 Clarksville,
00:15Tennessee in at three and then
00:17in Knoxville and Charleston.
00:18We've had about an inch of snow so far here.
00:21You can see that snow extending all
00:23the way up toward Indianapolis and
00:25Columbus where the snow is relatively light.
00:27But you can see that area moving
00:29pretty quickly to the east.
00:31Now it looks like it's
00:32snowing in Washington DC.
00:33It's just there's so much
00:35dry air in Washington DC.
00:36I think eventually going to get
00:38period of snow and flurries.
00:40This afternoon is not going to
00:41amount to a whole lot here.
00:43The area to watch is going to be
00:45across southern parts of Virginia,
00:47snowing along Interstate 81 in
00:48southern parts of Virginia right now,
00:50and that's going to be heading
00:51east as we go through today.
00:53There we go.
00:54Note the dark blue shading where around
00:56Virginia Beach, Northern North Carolina.
00:57We're going to get four or five
00:59inches of snow as we go through today.
01:01Probably an inch or two,
01:02one to three once you get toward
01:04Fredericksburg and then you might
01:06sneak out and eat in Washington DC.
01:08It's close call.
01:09If you can overcome that dry air,
01:11what snowfalls will will accumulate
01:12quickly because of how cold it is.
01:14Watch that move to the east.
01:16There it is.
01:17You start getting the snow perhaps
01:19up toward Wildwood Atlantic City.
01:20A period of snow and then watch
01:23the upper lows are storm leaves.
01:25Tonight watch that upper lows
01:27start to produce the snow.
01:28Indianapolis Columbus is a heavy no,
01:30but there could be a few bursts of
01:32snow heading toward Pittsburgh and
01:34even Washington DC tomorrow morning.
01:36As the storm leaves,
01:37then we'll continue to track that
01:39upper low as we head toward tomorrow noon.
01:41There it is.
01:42Storm is offshore.
01:43It kind of grazes the Cape in the islands.
01:46And again,
01:47I could see a few snow showers in
01:49New York City tomorrow afternoon.
01:51We've trended everything off to the South.
01:53That dryer is going to win out
01:56You're not going to get much on the
01:57back side of that with the upper law.
01:59I was concerned about that.
02:01I don't think that concern is much,
02:02at least through tonight.
02:04Will watch that upper low as we
02:05head toward tomorrow.
02:06Some accumulations here.
02:07Knoxville,
02:07you've already had the inch.
02:09You're about done here.
02:10Greensboro toward Raleigh.
02:112 to 4 inches of snow.
02:13Norfolk, Virginia,
02:13Virginia Beach, 6 to 10 inches,
02:154 to 8 inches in Richmond.
02:17And then you have this.
02:18The ice that's going to be extensive
02:20from Fayetteville toward Greenville,
02:22where we're going to have some
02:25major problems on roadways and a
02:26buildup of ice on tree on trees and
02:29power lines and that can cause some
02:31power outages.
