Video: When heavy rain will impact travel ahead of Thanksgiving

ESPECIALLY. YEAH. SO IT’S A BIG WEEK BECAUSE FOLKS AREN’T JUST TRAVELING LOCALLY. THEY MIGHT BE HEADING TO ANOTHER PART OF THE COUNTRY. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS STORM IS TAKING UP A LOT OF REAL ESTATE FROM THE CANADIAN BORDER ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE GULF COAST. GOT SOME WINTRY WEATHER RIGHT NOW ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THIS, UP IN THE NORTHERN GREAT LAKES. BUT FROM CHICAGO SOUTH, IT IS RAIN AND THERE COULD BE SOME SEVERE WEATHER TODAY, KIND OF KIND OF SHIFTING FROM ATLANTA OVER INTO THE CAROLINAS BY DAY’S END. SO ACTIVE WEATHER WITH THIS STORM FOR SURE. AND FOR US, IT’S GOING TO BRING A SOAKING RAINFALL ON THE ORDER OF ABOUT AN INCH OF RAIN. SOME SPOTS A LITTLE BIT MORE, OTHERS A LITTLE BIT LESS. BUT THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE BIGGEST RAIN EVENT THAT WE HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE MONTH OF NOVEMBER. SO TONIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY, IMPACT WEATHER STEADY, HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES FOR MOST THERE WILL BE SOME WIND WITH THIS, TOO, POTENTIAL FOR SOME GUSTS OF 50MPH. THAT IS REALLY FOCUSED DOWN ALONG THE COAST, PARTICULARLY THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS WHERE THERE’S A WIND ADVISORY AND IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN, THIS IS GOING TO START AS A LITTLE SNOW TONIGHT BEFORE IT CHANGES OVER TO RAIN. NOT A LOT, BUT IF YOU ARE IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, YOU COULD PICK UP AN INCH OR TWO ABOVE 1000FT OUT ALONG THAT ROUTE, TWO CORRIDOR, THE NORTHERN WORCESTER HILLS OUT TOWARD THE BERKSHIRES. THIS WILL COME TONIGHT IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, LESS THAN AN INCH AROUND THE WORCESTER AREA. SO SOME SLUSHY COATINGS TOMORROW MORNING AND THEN IT ALL GETS WASHED AWAY. DIFFERENT STORY, THOUGH, ACROSS NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. YOU CAN SEE THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES, VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE, WESTERN MAINE. THIS IS WHERE THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ABOUT 3 TO 6IN OF SNOW. AND THE MOUNTAINS MAY EVEN GET A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN THAT. SO THIS WILL SLOW TRAVEL IF YOU ARE HEADED NORTH TONIGHT THROUGH THE FIRST PART OF WEDNESDAY. AND THEN WE WILL SEE THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHIFT ON OUT. SO JUST A LITTLE HEADS UP FOR TRAVELING. IT’S IN THE TEENS AND 20S OUT THE DOOR THIS MORNING. SO IT IS COLD, BUT IT’S QUIET. JUST SOME HIGH CLOUDS BEGINNING TO STREAM IN THIS MORNING. SO THAT SHOULD GIVE US A REALLY NICE SUNRISE. WE’LL HAVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE THIS MORNING. AND THEN ONCE WE GET PAST NOONTIME, SEE HOW THE CLOUDS START TO THICKEN UP. SO THE SUN WILL FADE THIS AFTERNOON. TEMPERATURES WILL COME UP ONLY INTO THE LOWER 40S. WE SHOULD STILL BE AROUND 50 THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO IT’S ANOTHER CHILLY DAY FOR THE END OF NOVEMBER. HERE COMES THAT STORM. AND WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN IS A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE IS GOING TO DEVELOP ALONG THIS FRONT. AND THAT’S THE ONE THAT IS REALLY GOING TO CRANK UP THOSE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS TOMORROW MORNING. AND THAT’S WHEN WE COULD SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO 50MPH. SO FOR THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS, YOU’VE GOT THIS WIND ADVISORY FOR THAT REASON HERE IS THE TIMELINE SHOWING YOU HOW THE CLOUDS TAKE OVER TODAY. BUT IT’S DRY THROUGH SUNSET BY EIGHT, 9:00 TONIGHT. THERE’S THAT LITTLE BURST OF SNOW BREAKING OUT ACROSS WORCESTER COUNTY. THE ROUTE TWO CORRIDOR, THE MONADNOCK REGION, EVEN IN WORCESTER, YOU’RE GOING TO CATCH A FEW SNOWFLAKES. BUT BY MIDNIGHT, YOU CAN SEE HOW THAT TRANSITION IS STARTING TO HAPPEN HERE AS THAT SOUTHEASTERLY WIND IS CHANGING THINGS OVER TO RAIN BY BY THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE CHANGE CONTINUING. SO CHANGING OVER TO RAIN AND BY SUNRISE TOMORROW, IT IS RAINING EVERYWHERE. AND THE WINDS ARE PICKING UP. THERE YOU SEE THOSE GUSTS HERE BY LATE MORNING, 40, 50MPH. THE CAPE AND THE ISLANDS STILL SOME HEAVY RAIN THROUGH LATE MORNING, BUT BY MIDDAY, THE RAIN IS TAPERING OFF AND WE’RE DRYING THINGS OUT IN THE AFTERNOON. AND THAT DRY WEATHER IS GOING TO SETTLE IN AND BE WITH US FOR NOT ONLY THANKSGIVING DAY, BUT NOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND AS THAT CHANCE FOR SOME STORMY WEATHER COMING HOME THROUGH THE WEEKEND LOOKS LIKE IT’S SHIFTING OVER TOWARD MONDAY. SO THAT IS SOME GREAT NEWS FOR FOLKS IF THEY HAVE PLANS TO HEAD HOME AFTER THE HOLIDAY. SO JUST GOT TO GET THROUGH
