Video: Heavy rain, snow, wind for Thanksgiving travel

AND A GOOD MONDAY TO YOU. OF COURSE, IT IS A BIG TRAVEL WEEK AHEAD OF THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND HERE LOCALLY, IF YOU ARE TRAVELING TUESDAY NIGHT OR DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE SOME IMPACTS HERE FROM A STORM THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW. AND LOOK AT IT’S TAKEN UP QUITE A BIT OF REAL ESTATE HERE FROM THE GULF COAST ALL THE WAY UP TO THE CANADIAN BORDER, PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF RAIN RIGHT NOW. AND THERE COULD BE SOME SEVERE WEATHER TODAY WITH AN ENHANCED RISK OF EVEN A FEW TORNADOES HERE FROM LOUISIANA INTO PARTS OF MISSISSIPPI. SO THIS IS A DYNAMIC STORM THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE MARCHING EASTWARD TOMORROW. AND YOU CAN SEE BY TUESDAY MORNING THERE WILL BE SOME RAIN FROM CHICAGO STRETCHING DOWN TOWARD THE CAROLINAS AND THEN THE GULF COAST. SO IF YOU’RE TRAVELING BY AIR IN THESE AREAS, THERE WILL LIKELY BE SOME DISRUPTIONS. AND THEN THIS STARTS MOVING INTO THE NORTHEAST TOMORROW EVENING FROM D.C. ON UP TOWARD NEW YORK CITY. IT WILL BE RAINING BY TOMORROW EVENING AND IT’S GOING TO BE OVERNIGHT TUESDAY NIGHT THAT THAT STORM STARTS MOVING INTO NEW ENGLAND AND IT’S GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH COLD AIR IN PLACE INITIALLY THAT THERE WILL BE SOME SNOW HERE. BRIEFLY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND BEFORE A CHANGE TO RAIN BY WEDNESDAY MORNING. BUT LOOK, THE SNOW KEEPS GOING ON WEDNESDAY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. SO IF YOU ARE TRAVELING NORTH ON WEDNESDAY, YOU’RE GOING TO RUN INTO SOME OF THAT SNOW BEFORE THIS ALL KICKS OUT ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. SO THE POTENTIAL FOR A GOOD SOAKING LOCALLY, ANYWHERE FROM A HALF AN INCH TO ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN, PRETTY WIDESPREAD THERE MAY ACTUALLY BE SOME AREAS THAT PICK UP CLOSER TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A SOAKER FOR US COMING IN FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. HIGH PRESSURE IN CONTROL TODAY, THOUGH, BRINGING US BRIGHT SUNSHINE. BUT IT IS GOING TO BE KIND OF A BRISK DAY WITH A CHILLY BREEZE, MAKING IT FEEL LIKE IT’S IN THE LOW 30S DURING THE AFTERNOON, EVEN THOUGH THE SUN WILL PUSH US UP TO ABOUT 40 DEGREES IN BOSTON. THAT, BY THE WAY, IS A GOOD TEN DEGREES BELOW AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. UPPER 30S THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE WORCESTER HILLS AND BARELY IN THE LOWER 40S DOWN TOWARD THE SOUTH COAST IN THE CAPE. SO IT’S A CHILLY ONE TODAY. CLEAR AND COLD TONIGHT WITH THOSE CLEAR SKIES AND A DIMINISHING WIND. WE’RE DOWN IN THE TEENS AND 20S, EVEN BOSTON GOING TO ABOUT 28 DEGREES. SO A COLD START TOMORROW WITH SOME SUN EARLY ON GIVING WAY TO CLOUDS. AND THEN WE’LL WATCH THAT RAIN AND SNOW TRY TO PRESS IN TOWARD THE EVENING HOURS. LOW PRESSURE IS GOING TO BE APPROACHING, TOO. AND AS IT GETS CLOSER, THE WIND IS REALLY GOING TO RAMP UP OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST AND THERE WILL BE SOME GUSTS NEAR THE COAST COMING UP BETWEEN 40 AND 50MPH. AND THEN THIS IS ALL GOING TO KICK OUT DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. SO TAKE A LOOK. HERE’S THE TIMING. TUESDAY, TOMORROW AFTERNOON, JUST CLOUDY SKIES THROUGH SUNSET AND THEN DURING THE EVENING HOURS, WE’LL WATCH SOME SNOW TRY TO PRESS ON IN. INITIALLY, THAT BURST OF SNOW NORTH OF THE PIKE, ESPECIALLY WITH ELEVATION HERE UP ALONG THE ROUTE TWO CORRIDOR. THE MONADNOCK REGION AND THE BERKSHIRES. AND THIS WILL GO FOR A FEW HOURS INTO THE OVERNIGHT. BUT THEN WARMER AIR IS GOING TO COME IN ON THIS EAST SOUTHEASTERLY WIND. SO IT CHANGES OVER TO RAIN REALLY IN ALL AREAS BY WEDNESDAY MORNING, FIVE, 6:00 AS THE SUN IS COMING UP. SO THERE WILL BE A DRIVING RAIN HERE DURING THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. SNOW CONTINUES. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING NORTH AND THIS IS GOING TO LINGER THROUGH ABOUT MIDDAY OR SO AT THAT TIME, THE WINDS REALLY START RAMPING UP. SO THERE’LL BE THOSE GUSTS 40 TO EVEN 50MPH DOWN TOWARD THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS. BUT LOOK HOW QUICKLY THIS ALL PUSHES OUT IN THE AFTERNOON. SO ON WEDNESDAY, IF YOU CAN KIND OF DELAY YOUR TRAVEL UNTIL MORE IN THE AFTERNOON, YOU’LL HAVE LESS RAIN TO DEAL WITH. BUT EARLY ON, IT DOES LOOK PRETTY WET THROUGH AT LEAST THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY IN TERMS OF THAT SNOW AGAIN, THEN THAT INITIAL BURST IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS COULD PRODUCE A QUICK INCH OR TWO THAT WILL LIKELY GET WASHED AWAY ONCE WE DO CHANGE ON OVER TO RAIN. BUT BIGGER IMPACTS WITH THE SNOW AS YOU HEAD NORTH, SEVERAL INCHES ARE POSSIBLE. PARTICULAR IN THE MOUNTAINS OF CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND, WHERE WE COULD SEE ABOUT 3 TO 6IN OF SNOW. SO THIS WILL CERTAINLY HAVE SOME IMPACTS ON YOUR TRAVEL. WEDNESDAY. THE GOOD NEWS IS, IS IT GETS OUT OF HERE FOR THANKSGIVING DAY, LOOKS PRETTY QUIET INTO FRIDAY, JUST CHILLY. AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO WATCH ANOTHER STORM THAT COULD HAVE SOME IMPACTS LATER SATURDAY IN

Storm brings wind and rain Tuesday night-Wednesday ahead of Thanksgiving and will start as a burst of snow in the higher elevations.
