that come through. harris: actually that s very true, because people drive through high water all the time and tornado and hurricane season. when they get down bursts of rain. i m worried about people all the time on the roads because i also know how distracted people are. and sometimes people don t pay full attention to what is coming. but a snow storm is specific. and you know, not to pick on anybody who has made a different choice than i have, but if you are driving an electric car, think about happens to your cell phone when it gets cold. room are all those people who got stranded? i believe it was virginia and they were stranded on the roadway. there were like senators and lawmakers making calls from the few cell batteries they had left, saying we are stranded because our cars, they were there for hours. to be five days. harris: cat, you have to plan between here and there and i have driven from minneapolis to buffalo, we plan places to stay a long way. friends will put you up
you re going to be tracking through the snow. new york to the cleveland area across i-95 corridor, you will contend with some rain for at least next 36 hours. i m really concerned about the winds. everybody is talking about the macy s day parade. will the balloons go up? yes, the winds start to die down wednesday to thursday. it s tomorrow evening. you really start to see them pick up from minneapolis to buffalo. we could potentially see wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour. if you re not a cold weather fan, with these series of fronts that we re dealing with, look at some of these windchills. st. louis, when you factor in the air temperature plus winds, the feel-like temperature on your skin, 22 degrees. single digits for minneapolis. and that stays in place through much of the week. so i do think for the macy s day parade, everyone s just happy to be back in new york city. we re going to see the balloons fly, mostly sunny conditions, cool weather.
will be a quick mover, but if you have early travel plans to start your monday, you ll be definitely dealing with the showers from detroit, greater cleveland area, new york city to d.c. this front makes its way through, but it s the stronger winds that could have the possible delays across this area. we re talking about wind gusts at least 25 to 30 miles per hour, and then we start to deal with some lake enhancement across detroit all the way into the higher elevations of new york. lake-enhanced snow, the forecast, about 8 inches. those areas really going to be watching for those delays. so cleveland, currently on our radar, all the way into the boston area, with some possible cancellations for your monday and tuesday. minor delays from new york city all the way down to cincinnati. i do want to mention, if you re in the deep south, louisiana to atlanta, dealing with some minor rainfall, but no flood watches or advisories currently in place. hitting the roadways, we have millions of peo
now the good news, this is a map you want to see, the brighter color, the 24-hour temperature changes, it s just about warmer than yesterday. at least we re heading in the right direction. the wind kill still negative numbers from new york to boston, buffalo, pittsburgh and very cold around minneapolis and fargo but we ve had in theable improvement, especially in areas of the southeast. the january thaw is on the way. thursday through saturday, milder air will come and it will move up into the northeast. there will be rain with it on saturday, especially on the and sea board but it will be mild and leave you with a pretty nice sunday. looks like we have a mild stretch here until we could be back in the freezer between the 17th and 20th of january.
james carville and mary matalin will be here with their new book, peter gammons will be on the set. it going to be about 3 degrees in cooperstown when they re announced. but here s bill karins with the forecast. bill, 7 degrees when we were coming in. i hear it s going to be in the 40s. it s going to be 50s over the weekend. did you think today was worse or yesterday morning was worse? today was colder to me. the temperature didn t really agree with that but maybe the excitement over it is over with and we ve all had enough. the temperatures continue to be frigid from minneapolis to buffalo. this is the water fall in minneapolis that has frozen solid. in buffalo, the snow wouldn t stop. over a foot on the ground. the leak effect snow machine continues.
