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.
