enough to have much of an impact fortunately. let's take a look at what's happening. first off, it's beautiful out there right now and it will stay that way for the rest of the day today. the cold air is here and it's very cold. 15, 20 degrees below normal. it's cold. it's unusual for this time of year but not unprecedented. our record low for sunday morning is minus 2. so it can be that cold. it's 35 and that's the kicker right there. west wind at 13 miles per hour. so 35 is cold enough. you add the wind chill to that and it feels much colder. i'll show you the wind chill in just a minute. dew point is 5. that means it's very dry. doesn't have anything to do with the temperature or how it feels. 35 in rocky mount. 32 in roxboro. we've yet to come above freezing near the virginia line. feels like 20 in south hill. 25 in roxboro. 26 in raleigh. 31 in fayetteville. almost everybody feeling like below freezing. right at freezing in clinton. that's what you're going to have to run in to. it feels 10 degrees colder than it really is with that strong wind and that wind is coming out things are nice and quiet for us right now but that's going to change in the next 24 hours. here's this little piece of energy, this disturbance that's producing snow across the dakotas. that's going to follow this same track that our cold air and some other disturbances have been following and bring us some snow, most likely for the morning hours tomorrow. not likely to be early morning. it will probably be at the end of the morning commute to midmorning before we begin to see this. that's piece number one. then we have a low that's starting to develop down here off the coast of south carolina. and those low pressure systems counterclockwise. that's going to draw moisture in from the atlantic and bring it in on top of that cold air. two pieces to this. the west. the other from the east. and it's this low that's going to produce most of the liquid so that's where we're going to have accumulation. here comes futurecast. we start things out taking on out through the afternoon, of the day today. snow. that's the one i had circled near the dakotas. it comes on across kentucky and tennessee and in to our area. potentially around midmorning. when you're timing these things, you've got to give or take an hour or two so it could be 8:00, 9:00 in the morning. could be 10:00 or 11:00 by the time we see some of these snow showers to the west. if the snow showers is developing to the east, that may be a bit concerning. we start to see the moisture wrapping in from the atlantic. it looks a whole lot heavier. that happens around lunchtime after raleigh eastward, that's where we could have accumulation. still even though that looks fairly impressive, still will be talking about an inch or so from raleigh eastward and from to an inch. totals. that could change rapidly as we get more computer models in this afternoon. so i encourage you to start 4:00 with mike maze. our newscast on fox 50. we'll join him at wral at 5:00. to say. skies will be clear saturday and it looks beautiful by then. you can see by our percentage chance that the farther north and east you go the better chance we'll have of seeing an inch or more of snow. here's a look at one of our computer models, guesses about the timing. this one puts it a little bit later in the afternoon. i still think we have the potential to see that midmorning earlier. we're going to have more time to talk about what may happen minutes. it looks like this could begin as a wintery mix but warming up. precipitation probably continues in to tuesday as rain. we'll talk about what some of coming up. in the middle, another frigid [ laughter ] >> like you were saying. >> thank you, elizabeth. is
