00:00That blast of wintry weather continues in the Northeast.

00:02We're tracking gusty winds, chilly air,

00:04and that is tonight's top story with lake effect snow

00:06and flurries that have been losing steam

00:08throughout the day, but they're not done yet.

00:10Others closer to I-95 have seen a little bit of sunshine.

00:13Meanwhile, record low temperatures

00:15have impacted Texas and other South Central states,

00:17but a storm system passing through

00:19will bring cold rain and some ice

00:21along parts of East Texas and the Gulf Coast.

00:24This weekend, we're also tracking a milder weekend ahead,

00:27though, across the country.

00:29Let's start you off with a look in Buffalo, New York.

00:31Definitely a snowy view here.

00:34And, you know, earlier we watched a car drive off.

00:37There's now a lot more cars

00:38that have joined on the road, Jeff.

00:41Yeah, I think I'm a bad example sometimes.

00:44I talk about some really dumb stuff here sometimes,

00:46and here we are two hours later, you're bringing it back up.

00:48So we have a few more cars in the park.

00:49This is highly exciting, 21 degrees in Buffalo,

00:53and there's somebody walking around out there.

00:57But overall, we're dealing with some snow showers.

00:59There's some light to moderate snow

01:00across the interior northeast.

01:02And one thing I want you to be aware of,

01:05if you're not near a radar site,

01:06and if you're, say, in Erie, PA,

01:09you're kind of between the Cleveland radar site

01:11in Buffalo and State College in Pittsburgh,

01:13there's still snow out there.

01:14It's just being overshot by the radar pulses.

01:17You can see clearly the area around Syracuse radar site

01:21there grabbing the low-level stuff,

01:23but it's overshooting the snow that's falling

01:25equally as significantly over the Finger Lakes right now.

01:28So just keep that in mind.

01:29Now, the area near I-95, here we have too much downsloping,

01:33and we are not seeing any snow out there right now.

01:36As we take a look at the current temps,

01:38I don't think we're gonna see any more snow near I-95,

01:41at least for the weekend.

01:42Current readings down to the upper teens in Burlington,

01:4519 degrees there.

01:46Meanwhile, to the south, we're at 35 into Washington, DC,

01:50and it's gonna be a cold start to the day this Saturday.

01:53In the deep blue here, most of the northeast

01:54will have accuweather real field temperatures

01:56in the single digits.

01:57Farther south, accuweather real field temperatures

02:00will be in the teens in Baltimore, DC,

02:02all the way down to Virginia Beach,

02:03even Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

02:06All of Kentucky, accuweather real field temperatures

02:08into the teens early in the morning.

02:10And we'll even be dealing with sub-zero accuweather

02:13real fields up into northern parts of New England.

02:16So Saturday's gonna be a cold day.

02:17We'll have some light snow east of Lake Ontario.

02:19That really shrinks down to flurries in that area

02:22near Watertown on Sunday.

02:24Temperatures hedging back up to near average,

02:26and you'll notice a lack of snow out there in most areas.

02:29A couple of flurries east of Lake Ontario.

02:31There will be a disturbance that blitzes through

02:32early in the day Sunday.

02:34We'll be painting some additional snow

02:36over the mountains north of Interstate 90.

02:38But then into Monday, this next system will bring

02:40a little snow to northern Michigan

02:42and also in far northern parts of New England,

02:44but rain, snow mix for New York State

02:45and light rain showers into other areas.

02:48And you can see these temperatures

02:49are gonna be way up, 49 in Pittsburgh, 42 in Buffalo,

02:52so I don't even expect an accumulation there.

02:55But there may be some accumulations up near Jay Peak,

02:57near Burlington.
