Thats pretty cool. Mark last it should be. Great great job by everyone involved in that whole challenge there. Vanessa youve been busy, kevin. Kevin i was just thinking how cold it would be to pour water over your head now. It would be the ice bucket challenge at this point. Getting behind it in the years to come. Lets talk about the weather out there right now. It is quiet as far as anything falling from the skies. A couple clouds floating by, but boy its cold. Temperatures playing a huge role in this forecast. This is our storm system weve been tracking. Yesterday it was in the Rocky Mountains, just getting its legs underneath it. It has form to it, theres a warm front pushing through, i can tell by looking at the pattern and a cold front down to the south. The warm front doesnt always push warm air into your area, there. On the northern fringes of the storm as the cold air is trying to work on in, the green and yellow, thats where the warm air has come on in, but here its blue, thats snow and right here, its ice and sleet and thats going to continue to be a problem, so we have the snow hand the ice, in case you didnt see it the first time on the northern fringes of this. So what are the temperatures like out there . How do they compare to what we have right now . Here in new england, you can see were in the 30s and back here in the upper plains states, same idea, chicago, 39. Pattern is. If you translate that eastward, you can see the issue well be dealing with by thursday morning. The heaviest part of the storm is not going to come toward us. Doesnt take much when its this cold to cause roads to be slip very. 31 worcester. Nothing happening out there tonight except the cold. Wind gusts up over 20 miles per hour. When you get wind gusts over 30, provincetown, you can get small branches to come down. No wind advisories in place tonight. Its just making it feel colder. Windchills are in the teens and 20s across the islands. Winds will be lesser tomorrow, still a brisk day, but not quite as strong as theyve been, they were stronger yesterday than they were today. Stronger today than they will be tomorrow. Futurecast shows we are clear tonight through the night hand in to the morning hours. Shiri will be here taking care of the weather first thing in the morning, but just going to be sunny and cold out there. Julie will be back with the traffic, its going to be busy on the roadways, not because of the weather though, but because just people leaving tomorrow. The problems in the weather will come on thursday. Southeastern massachusetts, and off to the northwest as well. Lots of sunshine, but chilly, below average temperatures, continuing to set the stage for a cold night tomorrow night and cold morning thursday, so after 8 00 a. M. , you see that moving on in here, that is snow with mixed precipitation as well. Caution you, dont focus on this, where exactly its going to fall, but the idea and were looking at computer models, its called computer guidance. Gives us an idea of whats this matches my thoughts more than any other. That is for snow inland, light, the potential for mixed precipitation or ice closer to the coastline or even later in the day, youll see some green in here, but with temperatures inland especially stuck in the 30s, well have to watch for a glaze thursday night has well into early friday morning for black friday shoppers. Your seven day forecast shows mainly a break on friday. Well have to watch for for that potential in the morning, so that forecast is something i could see changing a bit later tonight with new information coming in.
