UP. JUST SHOWS YOU HOW DYNAMIC THIS SYSTEM IS RIGHT NOW. SO WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN THAT’S GOING TO LIFT ITS WAY NORTHWARD? WE HAVE ENOUGH COLD AIR IN PLACE THAT THAT WE WILL GET SOME SNOW. BUT LOOK AT THIS. IT’S RAINING ALL THE WAY UP INTO MICHIGAN. SO THIS IS A VERY WARM SYSTEM OFF TO OUR WEST. AND EVENTUALLY IT WILL DRAG THE WARM AIR IN. SO EVEN THOUGH WE START WITH SOME SNOW IN SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, IT WILL LIKELY CHANGE OVER TO RAIN IN MOST LOCATIONS. NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND MIGHT STICK ON TO THE SNOW A LITTLE BIT LONGER. LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU AND SHOW YOU WHAT WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW MORNING? NOTHING. IT IS A COLD NIGHT TONIGHT. THAT IS COLD SUNSHINE. YOU’RE LOOKING AT TOMORROW MORNING. BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON, ABOUT THIS TIME, WE’VE GOT A LOT OF CLOUDS COMING IN AND THEN YOU START TO LOOK AT THE SNOW COMING IN THIS IS TOMORROW NIGHT AT 9:00 HERE. WE SEE SOME SNOW ELEVATED AREAS. WORCESTER COUNTY OUT THROUGH THE BERKSHIRES. BUT THIS WILL STAY HERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THEN IT WILL START TO WARM UP EVEN OVERNIGHT. IT’S GOING TO WARM UP BECAUSE THESE WINDS ARE GOING TO COME FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND GET RATHER GUSTY. THAT WILL PUSH THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE NORTH. AND SO BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE WEDNESDAY MORNING COMMUTE AND MOST OF THE SNOW IS OVER WITH AT THAT POINT NOW, THERE MIGHT BE SOME SLUSHY CONDITIONS OFF TO THE NORTHWEST. BE CAUTIOUS ABOUT THAT. BUT FOR A LOT OF US, IT’S JUST A WIND DRIVEN RAIN ON A WEDNESDAY MORNING MORNING COMMUTE. AND THAT’S A HUGE TRAVEL DAY, WHICH IS LIKELY GOING TO SLOW THINGS DOWN. IT IS FAIRLY PROGRESSIVE. AND SO BY THE TIME WE GET TO WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, IT’S GONE. IT’S OUT OF HERE. AND WE JUST HAVE THE WINDS TO CONTEND WITH. SO I THINK THE STEADIEST SNOW WILL BE OFF HERE TO THE NORTH. BUT REMEMBER, IT WILL CHANGE OVER TO RAIN. A LOT OF THIS IS GOING TO BE MELTING ON CONTACT, BUT THERE MIGHT BE A FEW SLUSHY SPOTS, SAY ABOVE 1000, MORE LIKELY ABOVE 1500FT BEFORE YOU REALLY GET SOME SNOW, ACCUMULATE IN NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND. MIGHT GET A DECENT AMOUNT, ESPECIALLY INTO SOME OF THE ELEVATED AREAS. I MEAN, THE MOUNTAINS WHERE WE COULD SEE A HALF FOOT OF SNOW, WHICH WOULD BE WELCOME FOR ALL THE SKI PLACES THAT ARE TRYING TO OPEN UP THIS TIME OF YEAR. HOW MUCH RAIN ARE WE TALKING ABOUT? HALF INCH TO AN INCH OF RAIN. IN OTHER WORDS, IF IT WAS A LITTLE BIT COLDER, WE WOULD BE TALKING ABOUT A FOOT OF SNOW HERE, BUT IT’S JUST TOO WARM. AND THAT’S WHY FOR MOST OF US, IT WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SOME RAIN. AS I MENTIONED, THE WINDS ARE GOING TO BE FROM THE SOUTHEAST. THAT’S GOING TO HELP US TO WARM UP. THEY’RE GOING TO GET VERY GUSTY IN HERE ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. BUT I THINK THE STRONGEST WINDS WILL REALLY ACTUALLY DEVELOP AS WE HEAD TOWARD ABOUT LUNCHTIME ON WEDNESDAY. AND THAT’S WHAT THAT SYSTEM IS GOING BY. THAT’S WHAT WE COULD SEE, SOME WIND GUSTS AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR, ESPECIALLY OUT TOWARD THE CAPE. THINGS WILL BE SETTLING DOWN, THOUGH, AS WE GET PAST WEDNESDAY AND INTO THANKSGIVING. SO KEEP IN MIND, WE’RE TALKING ABOUT STEADY, HEAVY RAIN FOR MOST OF US, POTENTIAL GUST OF 50 MILES AN HOUR. AND THAT SNOW MIX IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN. HERE’S THE WAY IT LOOKS. THEN OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS, TOMORROW IT’S MORNING, SUNSHINE. BUT BY EVENING, WE’VE GOT THAT MIX OFF TO THE NORTHWEST. WEDNESDAY, IT’S WIND DRIVEN RAIN, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY. AND THEN WE’LL CLEAR IT OUT FOR THANKSGIVING. AND ONCE WE CLEAR OUT, IT’S KIND OF CHILLY, BUT IT’S A LOT OF SUNSHINE. IT’S BREEZY AND WE’LL KEEP THAT GOING. ALL THE WAY INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEKEND. AND EVEN SUNDAY RIGHT NOW IS LOOKING DRY, PUSHING THAT RAIN BACK ONE MORE DAY NOW PUSHING IT MORE INTO MONDAY. SITUATION. SO HOPEFULLY THE TRAVEL GOING
