00:00 Our stop top story tonight takes

00:01 us to another round of snow moving

00:04 through the Midwest and into the

00:06 Northeast and while this is a fast

00:08 moving storm there is enough snow

00:10 falling to create slick conditions

00:11 in spots for our Friday night

00:13 and into Saturday morning.

00:15 Accuweather was a first and ahead

00:17 of any other source and providing

00:19 the snowfall accumulation maps

00:20 for this Clipper storm and the

00:22 previous one that impacted the

00:24 central US and Northeast this week.

00:26 So we've got a lot of snow

00:28 to unpack for you as again that

00:30 snow keeps piling up in some locations.

00:32 Opening up the big board you can find.

00:35 We've got a couple different

00:36 things out there for us.

00:38 First up we are talking about this storm

00:40 system slicing its way on through and

00:42 you can already see where some of

00:44 those warnings and alerts are where

00:46 we are expecting some of the most

00:49 intense snowfall with this storm system.

00:51 And there have been some dark belts of blue.

00:54 Who really intense?

00:55 Unfortunately in some spots,

00:56 snowfall accumulations we started to see a

00:58 couple of them work their way through in

01:01 Indiana and portions of Illinois.

01:03 Also now stretching into Ohio

01:04 and Western Pennsylvania.

01:05 Greatest snowfall accumulations.

01:07 Some of them have been outside Columbus,

01:09 Marysville coming in around 6 inches.

01:11 We've also had some in Springfield,

01:13 Illinois, 6 plus inches of snow.

01:15 But like I said,

01:16 we have some really intense band setting up,

01:18 so that's what's interesting about this.

01:20 And I'm going to show you.

01:22 You can see Pittsburgh on the board.

01:25 Here as we watch it right about there.

01:27 And we've also got Columbus on the board

01:30 right now interstate 70 not going to be

01:32 a good drive. That's where we have so

01:35 much of this heavy snow lining up.

01:37 And there's been some very intense

01:39 bands that have come down.

01:40 In fact, we have here just some of

01:43 this dark blue that's lining up.

01:45 You can see that line there in

01:47 between Johnstown Altoona.

01:48 That's where we get those quick

01:50 intense snowfall totals to really

01:52 ramp up in a few days.

01:53 So you do have to use some caution as

01:56 you are out and about heading

01:58 through the evening hours.

01:59 The storm keeps moving its way

02:01 on East overnight tonight,

02:02 and this is where it continues to

02:04 produce some of that heavy snowfall.

02:07 It's going to be through the

02:09 Mid Atlantic and right along the

02:11 Pennsylvania Maryland border.

02:12 That's where we'll have some real

02:14 heavy snowfall potential places

02:16 like Washington DC.

02:17 Snow continues tonight.

02:18 Temperatures in the mid 30s,

02:19 25 below for Pittsburgh.

02:21 And more cold air tugs in on the

02:23 backside of the storm system,

02:25 so it goes well out to sea for your Saturday,

02:28 but there are going to be some snow

02:30 squall potentials on the backside of this.

02:32 We're going to have little bands of snow

02:34 showers working their way on through.

02:36 That could be really troublesome

02:38 to reducing visibility.

02:39 30 the high for Pittsburgh compared

02:40 to historical average tomorrow.

02:42 We're 10 degrees below historical average.

02:43 It's a chilly Saturday,

02:45 a little blustery too.

02:46 You can see this storm system

02:47 moving offshore pretty quickly.

02:49 This is 7:00 AM tomorrow morning.

02:50 And it's mostly just light snow showers

02:53 remaining as the heaviest is already

02:54 offshore and that moves farther

02:56 away by lunchtime and beyond.

02:57 The afternoon you get almost

02:59 these thunderstorms of snow,

03:00 and that's going to be our

03:02 problem throughout the day.

03:03 So be cautious with that.

03:05 But the storm itself brings three to

03:07 six inches in a place like Baltimore,

03:09 Philadelphia,

03:09 right on that three inch line,

03:11 as is Washington DC.

03:12 So in between those two areas,

03:14 that's where we have the best chance

03:16 to see the most snowfall from the

03:18 storm system on the I-95 corridor.

03:20 Three to six inches there in Baltimore.

03:22 So we are talking some very heavy

03:24 snow in a few locations Sunday.

03:26 We dry out a little bit.

03:28 We quiet down so it won't be quite as active.
