It will involve dylan wearing down parkas again. She is hiding. Here we go again. Many cities already crippled by the storm bracing for round two. Some areas could see up to an additional foot of snow before it is said and done. Dylan. It first starts with the cold. If you have been outside, you know the cold is out there. Temperatures are so cold especially when you factor in the windchill. We have temperatures in the teens and 20s. 2 below in syracuse. In new york city. It is 5 below. The cold air sets the stage for the next storm system moving in. Here it is. You see snow moving through areas Like Northern kansas and southern nebraska. This is going to eventually turn into a snowstorm for chicago, indianapolis cleveland and eventually into new york city. This is where we have the winter storm warning. It is later in the forecast period and this is where we have the winter storm watch in blue. Here is the timing. Omaha, nebraska with snow. Chicago, it moving in overnight into sunday morning. It spreads into buffalo and erie pennsylvania. And sunday we have the rain snow line. If this is further north, not much of a storm for new york city. If it dips to the south, up to 10 or more inches for new york city. Things will change for the next couple of days. Chicago could see a foot of snow. The pink is the best chance of seeing snow. Southern new england and boston that area is still digging out from 2 feet of snow. We could have another foot of snow on top of that. We have hot tea before you head out. Right back over there.

Here is where things stand. Both teams have handed over 54 footballs to be inspected and approved tomorrow before the game. Those balls right now are safely in the hands of the league. On the eve of americas biggest sports event, several days of unusually wet weather in the desert hasnt dampened the excitement of fans. The league continues to deal with a storm of its own. Deflategate which Roger Goodell said will be investigated fully. This is my responsibility to protect the integrity of the game. I represent 32 teams. All of us want to make sure the rules are followed. Reporter goodell acknowledged it has taken a toll. It has been a tough year on me personally. It has been a year of what i would say humility and learning. Reporter the league has promised more security for the game balls on sunday, the coaches, seated side by side friday steered clear of the controversy.

Here in arizona, at the super bowl officials are monitoring any Public Health threats. Keeping an eye on any spikes on urgent care centers. That is standard for any event like the super bowl but especially important given the outbreak. Today, thousands of people arriving in phoenix for the countrys most watched game during a closely watched Measles Outbreak. 1,000 people monitored in arizona after exposure to the virus. With california reporting 12 new cases last couple days there is concern. I would not take a 1yearold to the super bowl or anywhere actually where there was an outbreak. Reporter unvaccinated people are almost certain to catch the virus if they come in contact with it. Cdc says people shouldnt travel at risk. If do you have measles, you should stay home. Reporter arizona is one of 14 states seeing cases. Most linked to disneyland in california. Uriah kruegers parents think he caught it from someone at the theme park. I had to be strong for him. Holding him close to me. Im crying. You see the implications of people getting the vaccine and arent. Reporter if you have been immunized and want to head to phoenix, doctors say game on.
