00:00Let's take a look at what we were talking about last week at this time.
00:04We go back to last Thursday, more than a week ago.
00:08That's the disturbance that we're going to be tracking.
00:12This is, say, Wednesday. As that feature moves on through, you do expect to see some
00:16wintry weather in some of these places, maybe all the way down to the I-20 corridor.
00:20The question is going to be, where is that storm going to go? Does it move quickly out
00:24to sea to the east and we leave the northeast alone? Or
00:28is there a piece of energy in here that helps to pull this up to the northeast and spread some of that
00:32snow and ice farther north to places like Erie, Buffalo, Burlington,
00:36and Boston? That remains to be seen, but that's on the table for later next week.
00:40And of course, Joe, that storm took more
00:44of a southern route, although the upper low behind it did spread more lake snow
00:48and even a little bit of snow in New York City and Philadelphia yesterday.
00:52Okay, different pattern next week. It really is a different pattern,
00:56and the big thing is the cold air of this week is largely gone
01:00so that we get a nice little reprieve. The jet stream still takes a dip here in the middle part of the
01:04country during the mid part of the week, and a couple of disturbances coming through here will produce
01:08some light snow and flurries. Nothing of great consequence, but you'll see the cold air
01:12gone from the south. It will turn cold next weekend, and most of the west will be dry
01:16next week. All right, Joe, take a look at this. Here we go.
01:20Shot of Arctic air coming behind these storms next weekend. Yeah, there's a storm
01:24that will come up through the northeast and mid-Atlantic Wednesday night, Thursday, Thursday night, and then on
01:28Friday it moves away, but then it allows a series of clipper features to come on through.
01:32And I don't think it's one. It's probably two or three, and as a result of that, you're going to see
01:36Arctic air pulled back into the pattern. As each one of those clippers goes by,
01:40you're going to see some snow and flurries, some lake effect snow, and certainly
01:44a true taste of January behind those features next weekend. You know, Joe, let's
01:48take a look at the current snow cover as we get you ready for early March.
01:52Yeah, I mean, just look how expansive this is across the country. Just take a look at it.
01:56All the way down into northern Arkansas, Tennessee, and Virginia. Kind of zoom in across
02:00the Great Lakes and the northeast, and you can see just how expansive this is across
02:04much of northern New England, upstate New York, and back into the Great Lakes. That's a lot
02:08of snow on the ground. As we go into the month of March, that could play
02:12a role in how the weather evolves. Now, we do think the trends, you know, another
02:16blast of cold air for that first week.
02:20Probably some snow on the north side of it, but as we head toward the middle of the month,
02:24definitely see some warming trends. With all that snow on the ground, Bernie, I'd be concerned
02:28about flooding. There's already some in the Ohio River Valley now. I think there's more to come.
