SOME TORNADOES SPOTTED ON RADAR SO FAR THIS AFTERNOON. SO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS. THIS WHOLE THING LIFTS ITS WAY IN HERE. BY THE WAY, NO SEVERE WEATHER HERE, BUT WE WILL GET SOME HEAVY RAIN OUT OF IT. AND INITIALLY IT MAY BE JUST COLD ENOUGH THAT WE GET SOME SNOW AS WE’VE SEEN A COUPLE OF TIMES THIS YEAR. YOU’RE ALREADY ELEVATION. IT’S GOING TO PLAY A KEY PART IN SEEING THAT SNOW. AND THEN THE WHOLE THING KIND OF WORKS ITS WAY THROUGH CHANGES IT OVER TO RAIN. AND WHEN IT GOES BY, IT IS GOING TO DRAG IN A NEW SHOT OF COLD AIR. AND ONCE AGAIN, WE’LL HAVE SOME OF THE CHILLIEST TEMPERATURES IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT HERE IN THE NORTHEAST. SO LET ME BREAK DOWN AND SHOW YOU WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW MORNING. SUNSHINE, COLD SUNSHINE AT THAT. BUT IT WILL BE SUNNY AFTER NOON. HERE COME THE CLOUDS. AND THEN BY ABOUT THIS TIME TOMORROW NIGHT, WE’RE GOING TO START TO TRACK SOME SNOW AND SOME RAIN. THIS IS GOING TO TRY TO GET ITS WAY TOWARDS 495, BUT THAT’S ABOUT IT, BECAUSE ONCE YOU GO BEYOND 425, THE ELEVATION DROPS AND THAT’S WHY IT WILL BE MORE IN THE FORM OF SOME RAIN. BUT EVEN THE AREAS THAT GET SNOW LATE TOMORROW NIGHT, THIS WARM AIR IS SURGING IN OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. AND SO IT’S CHANGING THAT SNOW BACK OVER TO RAIN. SO BY THE TIME YOU WAKE UP ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, MOST EVERYONE’S GOING TO BE LOOKING AT RAIN. AT THIS POINT. THERE MIGHT BE SOME SLUSHY ACCUMULATION LYNN OFF TO THE WEST. DO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT AND THEN WE’LL KIND OF WRAP THINGS UP REALLY BY EARLY AFTERNOON AND BY LATE AFTERNOON, IT’S GONE. BUT THE WINDS ARE STILL GOING TO BE PICKING UP. SO THAT’S WHY I SAY IT’S NOT A BIG SNOW EVENT, BUT THERE MAY BE SOME PLACES OFF TO THE WEST ABOVE 1000FT THAT GET AN INCH OR TWO AND ABOVE 1500 FEET. YOU COULD GET 3 TO 4IN OF SNOW. TO THE NORTH. THERE’S GONNA BE SOME POCKETS OF SOME PRETTY GOOD SNOW, ESPECIALLY IN THE SKI COUNTRY. WELCOME NEWS FOR ANY OF YOU WHO WANT TO DO A LITTLE EARLY SKIING, GOING ON AS FAR AS LIQUID CONTENT, THERE’S A LOT OF WATER IN THIS THING. HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF RAIN. IF IT WAS COLD ENOUGH, YES, WE WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT MANY INCHES OF SNOW. BUT IT’S JUST TOO WARM. THAT’S WHY THIS IS GOING TO BE MORE IN THE FORM OF RAIN THAN ANYTHING ELSE. NOW, IT’S COMING IN ON TUESDAY AND TUESDAY NIGHT. THE WINDS RAMP UP, BUT THEY REALLY ARE STRONGEST AS WE HEAD TOWARDS ABOUT LUNCHTIME ON WEDNESDAY. THEY’RE GOING TO BE WINDS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST. LOOK AT THESE GUSTS OVER THE CAPE, 50 MILE AN HOUR WIND GUSTS SEEM VERY POSSIBLE. THAT WILL STAY WITH US WEDNESDAY. AND THEN BACKING OFF ON THURSDAY FOR THANKSGIVING DAY. IT’LL STILL BE BREEZY, BUT IT WON’T BE QUITE THAT WINDY. SO IN TERMS OF WHAT’S HAPPENING, IT’S REALLY THE STEADY, HEAVY RAIN. I THINK FOR MOST OF US, POTENTIAL GUSTS UP TO ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. AND THAT SNOW RAIN MIX REALLY HAVE TO HAVE THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OFF TO THE WEST. SO AS YOU LOOK OVER THE CITY RIGHT NOW, IT’S ONLY 34 DEGREES, NOT MUCH OF A BREEZE, BUT IT KNOCKS THE WIND CHILL DOWN TO MAKING IT FEEL LIKE IT’S 26 DEGREES OUT THERE AND WE HAVE ANOTHER CLEAR NIGHT COMING OUR WAY. AND LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT AND MANY SPOTS WILL DROP BACK INTO THE TEENS TOMORROW. IT’S MORNING SUN, SOME EVENING MIX COMING IN HERE AND THEN IT’S JUST WIND AND RAIN ON WEDNESDAY. MOST OF THE RAIN IN THE MORNING, MOST OF THE WIND IN THE AFTERNOON FOR THANKSGIVING DAY. IT CLEARS AWAY A LITTLE BREEZY, 46 DEGREES, KIND OF A LOT LIKE WHAT WE HAD GOING ON TODAY. AND THEN SEVERAL DAYS OF SUNSHINY WEATHER. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR RAIN OR SNOW. NO
