the worst is really over, and done with. we still have to get home, though, and things are tricky. so just be careful across the northeast, and then all the airport delays the new york city airport. then we ll deal with this one, round two, across the southwest, towards the central plains. we could see six to heavy snow here, around the mississippi river valley, mainly a rain event south of illinois and indiana but winter weather warnings in the pink, and then the ohio river valley and winter storm watches up for parts of the northeast where we could see a mix of snow, freezing rain, and sleet. we could actually even see ice storm advisories up for this region. so i m thinking it could be really dangerous tuesday into wednesday. somebody needs to call july. no kidding. july, please come. will you do that for me? i forgot julys number. and then the groundhog.
first batch coming through. as far as the later afternoon period goes that s when we ll watch some snow totals increasing from new england noon to 5:00 p.m. the worst will be up here from hartford, the mass pike, i-95 to providence up to downtown boston. then we may end up with three to five north and west of boston out in the loop on i-95 and that s about it. new york city we re only talking maybe one to two inches. philadelphia maybe up to an inch at most. higher totals up there, portland, maine. as far as the temperatures go, plenty cold enough to stick. the airports should be okay especially there in logan and new york city airport i think they will be all right. only a couple of inches. for the rest of you out in country enjoy a bifl day. northeast is the only cold and snowy part on the map. we ll update the snow during
york city and we don t know right now what caused the wreck but we re consumers of new york city airport, we re consumers of new york city roads, we re consumers of new york city area trains and this really is some of the most battered, beaten up, crappie infrastructure in the nation. it s getting in and out of new york city is one thing i hate about this city. i love manhattan. but god it s a nightmare. we re a third world country in manhattan. a third world country when it comes to transportation. they are working on the airports. those are slowly but surely getting better. but i ride the subway home from work and sometimes you stand on the platforms and look at the tracks an look what s holding up the entire station you go oh, my god that s a relic.
problem than the rain this morning. the visibility now, new york city, half a mile. half a mile in hartford. about a quarter mile in philadelphia. okay in boston. but, you know, it s hit and miss. you can go in one valley, it s dense as could be, especially near rivers. other areas are not bad. d.c. is okay right now i m sure philadelphia and new york city airport also have big problems. the highways and your morning commute also problematic. rain streaming up through new orleans, alabama and mississippi. expect rain in virginia, too. the windchills, minneapolis to denver, all of the northern plains, it s a frigid morning. even dallas has an 18 degree windchill. this has been a crazy weather pattern as of late, at least there s no big ice or snowstorms heading anywhere soon. that s good news. all eyes in the auto world are on motor city today as the media gets a sneak peek at the hottest wheels rolling off the line of the detroit auto show.
he will make a statement. and then we re told by white house officials he will quickly depart for washington. we should mention, david, new york city airport or new york area airports have all been closed. the lincoln tunnel has been closed here in new york. while we re getting ready to listen to the president, let s go back to jat the pentagon. you talked about counter tres measures. can you shed any light for us on what kind of things are in place in the event of an attack of this nature? it s difficult for the u.s. military to respond to this kind of thing at, you know, right now, because it s unclear exactly who s behind it and if there are any other potential attacks or incidents like this because this is obviously not been officially declared a terrorist attack but all the experts who are looking at these pictures say there s no doubt about it. this was a coordinated terrorist
