it is all through the mid-atlantic states, and they just updated the blizzard watch and the d.c. area to a blizzard warning. it has been 90 years since they have had 20 inches or more. let' s focus on where that storm is right now. a lot of severe weather breaking out as the moisture works in from the gulf of mexico, but from here, it will take a while for the storm to move in our direction. it will creep in very slowly on saturday evening. it will move out on sunday morning, and be gone by midday. we will be dealing with some snow, the question mark is how much. first things first, we have some nice weather out there today, this guys are mainly clear. 30 degrees in boston and the wind is sustained out of the northeast at around 20, gusting to 30.

mostly in the teens, and that will continue through the afternoon. we are close to freezing in the cape. high pressure will dominate today and tomorrow. tomorrow is pretty similar to today, we will just be dealing with stronger wind today. it will be quite cold when you awake tomorrow morning. let' s focus on the storm. notice how it is picking up the gulf of mexico moisture, and will work in eastward. i sang down -- icing through raleigh and the carolinas, and it is this area that is producing snow. by saturday morning, there is a large consensus that this is about where the storm will be, coming off the carolina coastline, strengthening with strong winds,

there are many questions as to how far north this storm will have -- will head before it goes out to see. this model is pushing the snow all the way up to the new hampshire border. with the low in this vicinity, we will also have easterly wind coming up along our coastline, so the impact with snow will be greatest for that mid-atlantic states. a foot and a half to two feet of snow. if you are traveling south this weekend, that storm will be out there and will cause major problems up and down the eastern seaboard. we have a full moon coming up on saturday, so the high tide at 11:00 saturday night and sunday morning could cause some minor beach flooding and erosion. i think sunday it will be most problematic with the 40 to 50

as of the snow coming in on saturday, it is way down to the south. it will be about 7:00 in the evening, if it comes in our direction, to move up the south coast, and reach the pike but that might be as far as it gets before it starts to head out to sea on sunday morning. some mixing on the cape and islands will hold the totals down, but the best chance of seeing more than three inches of snow is south of boston. the amounts will taper off pretty quickly, abruptly, sharply to the north. if the storm tracks further south, we can drop all of these numbers down. this may change by this evening. harvey will have the very latest for you coming up starting at 4:30. once we get by this storm on sunday, the temperature start to come up. we moderate back to around 40
