Video: Snow, rain, wind to impact pre-Thanksgiving travel in New England

SO YOUR TIMING, ALL OF THIS OUT MIKE. WHEN CAN WE EXPECT THIS CHANGE? I THINK THE SNOW IS GOING TO BE KIND OF LATE AS WE LOOK AT TONIGHT AND MAINLY OFF TO THE NORTHWEST. BUT FOR MOST OF US, THOUGH, THIS IS JUST GOING TO BE A STEADY, HEAVY RAIN AND THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY GUSTY WINDS, ESPECIALLY AT THE COAST AND TOWARD THE CAPE. BUT THAT SNOW, YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET SOME HIGHER ELEVATION OFF TO THE WEST. NOW, AS YOU LOOK AT RADAR, YOU’RE STARTING TO SEE SOME SNOW FILLING IN. BUT I WILL TELL YOU, IT’S FAIRLY DRY AT LOW LEVELS. SO A LOT OF THIS IS NOT REACHING THE GROUND JUST YET. YOU’VE GOT TO KIND OF BACK OFF JUST A LITTLE BIT TO GET THIS TO COME IN HERE. BUT BUT SHORT LIVED THAT SNOW. THIS IS KIND OF A WINTRY MIX, A SNOW RAIN MIX. AND THEN ONCE YOU GET A LITTLE BIT FARTHER WEST, IT’S ALL RAIN. SO THAT’S WHY IT’S A SHORT WINDOW THAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. BUT EVEN SO, WE HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OUT IN THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE STATE, GOES INTO EFFECT AT 7:00 TONIGHT, GOES UNTIL TOMORROW MORNING AT 10 A.M. REALLY? IT’S NOT GOING TO LAST. THAT LONG, BUT THAT’S JUST WHEN THE ADVISORY GOES OUT. BUT IF YOU ARE TRAVELING OUT ALONG ROUTE TWO, YOU KNOW, LATER ON TONIGHT, THERE COULD BE A FEW SLUSHY SPOTS, A FEW SLIPPERY SPOTS AS WELL. SO DO BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT. THE MAIN SYSTEM IS STILL OUT HERE. AND YOU CAN SEE ALL THIS MOISTURE LIFTING ITS WAY IN THIS THING HAS A HISTORY OF PRODUCING SOME STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DOWN IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS YESTERDAY. ALL IT’S GOING TO DO FOR US, THOUGH, WIND DRIVEN RAIN FOR MOST. SO TONIGHT, BY 9:00, THE SNOW IS CLOSING IN ON 495, BUT THAT’S ABOUT AS FAR EAST AS IT’S GOING TO GET AND AS FAR SOUTH AS IT’S GOING TO GET, BECAUSE AFTER 9:00 NOW, THE WARM AIR IS MOVING IN BY MIDNIGHT, MAYBE NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW GOING ON. AND BY THE TIME WE GET TO TOMORROW MORNING, IT’S ALL RAIN EVERYWHERE. AND THE WINDS WILL START TO PICK UP. BY THE WAY, TO THE NORTH, WE’RE GOING TO SEE SOME NICE SNOWFALL TOTALS UP INTO SKI COUNTRY. SO DO KEEP THAT IN MIND. NOW, THE RAIN TOMORROW, IT’S HEAVIEST IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. AND THEN I WOULD SAY LATE MORNING TO AROUND LUNCHTIME. IT’S ACTUALLY STARTING TO LET UP BY 3:00. WE’RE JUST TALKING ABOUT A WINDY, CLOUDY DAY, KIND OF ON THE CHILLY SIDE. BUT THE RAIN IS REALLY FOCUSED MORE IN THE MORNING THAN ANYTHING ELSE. SO NOT A BIG SNOW MAKER, BUT CERTAINLY WITH SOME ELEVATION ABOVE 1000, YOU’RE PROBABLY GET 1 TO 2 ABOVE 1500FT. YOU’RE GOING TO GET 2 TO 4IN OF SNOW. BUT UP HERE, THIS IS WHERE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE POTENTIAL OF SOME PLACES GETTING OVER A HALF FOOT OF FRESH SNOW. I KNOW IT’S EARLY IN THE SEASON, BUT YOU LOVE TO SEE THAT HAPPENING FOR SKI PLACES EARLY IN THE SEASON. SO THIS SYSTEM GOES BY. WE GET ONE SHOT OF COLD AIR COMING IN HERE BEHIND IT. THAT’S WHY YOU’LL NOTICE THANKSGIVING IS GOING TO BE A CHILLY DAY, BUT THEN REINFORCEMENTS COMING IN BEHIND IT AND IT’S GOING TO EVEN COLDER AS WE HEAD TOWARD THE WEEKEND. SATURDAY, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW, LOOKING VERY CHILLY OUT THERE. SO WE DO HAVE SOME WIND ALERTS OUT ALONG THE COAST, BASICALLY FROM PLUM ISLAND. ALL THE WAY DOWN IN NANTUCKET TOMORROW, FROM 4 A.M. TO 4 P.M. WE HAVE A WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE. WE COULD SEE SOME GUSTS OUT OF THE SOUTHEAST SOMEWHERE AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR. MOST OF THAT PEAKING RIGHT AROUND THE LUNCHTIME HOUR. SO HERE’S WHAT IT LOOKS OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. TOMORROW, WIND AND RAIN, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY, 52 FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE. AND THEN ON THANKSGIVING DAY CLEARS AWAY. IT’S COOL. IT’S WINDY. UPPER 40S GETS COLDER AS WE HEAD TOWARDS FRIDAY, ABOUT 46. BUT THE REAL CHILL IS SATURDAY, HIGH OF 38 TWO DEGREES AND LOWS BACK DOWN INTO THE 20 IS NEXT EVENT COMING OUR WAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT’LL BE MONDAY WHICH COULD BE SOME RAIN OR SNOW TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW DO INDICATE THAT IT WOULD BE MORE LIKELY IN A RAIN EVENT. BUT AS WE SAW OR WILL SEE TONIGHT, WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF A WINTRY MIX, CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY AS WE HE
