start off by a look back at the top, the top snowstorms, in our area. and now we're on the list, guys, from this past one. we are number four, and just shortly ahead of the one that happened in 1983, february 11 through 12th, where we pick up over 21 inches, definitely was historic storm for our area, nothing at this point can beat that blizzards of 96. meanwhile, storm scan3, nice and quiet at this point, we are in the clear at the moment. see nothing more than couple of clouds overhead. very quiet, basically just across the entire eastern seaboard, even further inland toward the mississippi valley. let me show you one more zoom here. this little guy, this is the next disturbance that will be crossing through tomorrow. at this point it looks like it will end up being too warm for anything. basically then plane old rainout of it. but today under the influence of high pressure, that retreat, allows the system to make it advance, then tomorrow late in the day at the earliest, we start to see some showers. notice they are rain showers moving through. and it looks right now like it

will be strictly a rain producer. so, we will keep close watch on the temperature profile which is suggesting we are looking just at some rainout of it. now we obviously had snowy scene the last couple of days, more sun today for you, 37 degrees for the daytime high. that's going to have chance to refreeze, anything that does melt today later tonight once the sun goes down, we drop all the way to 28 degrees. and then again tomorrow, watching for just a rain shower, late, and then maybe even lingering into wednesday morning before it completely clears. thursday looks very quiet. friday, there is going to be a system developing to our south. the question is where does it decide to go? at this point, only calling for the chance after snow shower, perhaps flurry, we will keep close on the movement of that one. right now, no major storms in site, erika, like we said. meantime though, just again watch for the refreezing for now. we send it back to you. >> thanks so much. all right, the teams for superbowl 50, they're all set. we will start with the defending champion patriots battling broncos down to the final seconds too.
