meteorologist alexandra steele. >> the berkshires were ground zero. where chad was, that's where the heaviest snow was up until that point. then we saw this area of low pressure develop and really bomb out as we say meteorologically, right off the delmarva peninsula, then robust even thunder snow. did you hear it? did you see it? it is quite rare and we did have this. record breaking totals in the northeast not only for the day but for the month of october. hartford, 12.3 inches. since records were kept, shattering the old record of 1.7. in newark, new jersey, 5.2 breaking old records. central park, records being kept back from the 1800s, never have they ever had one inch of snow in central park in october in new york. so it is quite rare. philadelphia, .3. let's look at what else we saw and where it is now. of course that area of low pressure really moved up the coast quite rapidly. i mean it was quite a 23, 24, 25, 26 hours, it was amazing. here is where it is now. we're going to watch right now this morning, we are seeing a few flurries in maine in

alexandra steele has that. and the snow is already falling west of washington, right?ary map. rare but not unprecedented. north of the big cities, 8 to 12 inches, perhaps. in the big cities, new york, washington, philadelphia, yes, accumulating snow for you. this is measurable snow. that's what we will see and that's what we don't usually see. one thing about this, it will be a quick-hitter. the balance of today, tomorrow morning and then it's done. with the strong winds coupled with the heavy snow, power outages will be a sure thing. 60 million people will be impacted. philadelphia, we go south to north along the 95 corridor. north and west of the cities will see more snow, double digits. rain and wind in philly today, mixes with snow overnight. philadelphia, two to four inches. in new york city, it's been since 1959 that we had the last october snow. they only had three snows, measurable snows in october since records have been kept. so rain and wind today, mixes with snow this evening, maybe about five or so tapers off tonight, three to five inches for you. boston,

alexandra steele is tracking a big storm for us. what do we have in store? i'm afraid to ask. >> power outages, check. allegheny electric reporting already 20,000 without power in maryland and pennsylvania. already have snow in white plains. the flurries have begun. you know, it's been 59 years since m m had measurable snow. that doesn't mean flakes of flurries. at least a tenth of an inch. since records have been kept by the national weather service, only three times in october since the 1800 he is, but not unprecedented because we have seen it. you can see where we are, new york, philly, washington, boston. the white is snow, the green is rain. look at the delineation right along the i-95 corridor. it's just east of i-95. philadelphia reporting north and west of philadelphia. we have snow. philadelphia has snow and islty 39 degrees. one other interesting thing, here is the area of low pressure. this is in nor'easter, but it is moving. a quick hitter. this is already the backside. washington, d.c., between 2:00 and 4:00 today, it will be done deal for you.

ourteorologist alexandra steele is in with the worst and the best commute?well, let me preface this with not a lot of rough weather around the country. pretty benign conditions. so top five worst spots is paltry, but showers in miami will slow you down and temperatures up in the 70s. and cincinnati with showers in the morning making four. and number three is in the midwest with a story of a low air pressure moving around in the air of the upper midwest and into the northeast and we will see morning showers so the farther west, the quicker they will move out, because they are moving from west to east. and in detroit, rain showers as well, and the number one place is buffalo, new york, and we will see rain and thunderstorms and wind. but, this is going to be a whole different scenario, and talk about denver, colorado. tomorrow, we will see temperatures of 77, 78 degrees and record-heat potentially, and then in the next 48 hours after that, we will see snow. the first snow of the season in denver, colorado, about three inches by morning. winter storm watch is p

meteorologist alexandra steele is here with more on that.u want to light a fire, stay inside, don't go anywhere, the berkshires is the place to be, right? >> that's right because you're not going to have any power. the berkshires were really the hardest hit. good morning, everyone. maybe you're waking up without power in the northeast and new england, really unprecedented, incredible event on so many fronts, historic and record-breaking. take a look. let's show you the snowfall totals. windsor, massachusetts, savoy, massachusetts, of course western massachusetts in the berkshires getting hit the hardest. that's what the low "meteorologically" bombed out. the pressure got so low. then we talk good and had thunder snow. what's thunder snow? i'll tell you in a sec. peru, pine plains, millbrook, elevation there, that's where the catskill mountains are, 17, 18 inches. thunder snow is a thunderstorm with thunder and lightning and snow is coming down. here's the scenario -- usually when you look up and see towering thunderstorm clouds but you see s

meteorologist alexandra steele is tracking it all in the cnn severe weather center.. >> absolutely. west of town. so the storm is a coming. you know, it's certainly rare, but we certainly have seen it before. so it is not unprecedented. so where did this nor'easter come from? more indicative of winter than fall. here's a look at the forecast map to give you perspective. here's this area of low pressure. this is the nor'easter moving. but this to remember has had history of snow. brought snow to texas, and before that, remember it got and brought all that snow to colorado. so it's zoom add croed across t southern tier. counterclockwise winds around it now bringing in colder air. the moist air is getting there. not yet for some. that's why we're still seeing some rain. here's the computer model look. you see perspective of where we are. here's washington. of course there's the north east. and this purply color is all ten-plus inches. so it's really north and west of all the big cities. that's where the greatest accumulation totals will be. you could see 12 inches in al

right now we'll to go alexandra steele in the weather center for more on this falling satellite and also have a six-hour window to give you some perspective. the size of the satellite is about the size of a minivan. that's the size we're talking about. 75% of the earth torborg give you perspective, is made of water. so most likely it will hit water. remember last month, we talk about that nasa satellite hitting. the risk of anyone being hit on the planet was one of 3,200. the rick of this in the next 36 hours, kind of coming in. 1 in 2,000. the world population, 6.85 billion. the rick of you sitting at home watching us at this moment is 1 in 13.7 trillion. the odds aren't that great but it is fascinating. he was talking about, an 800 pound mirror. the mirror of the telescope and it is heat resistant. so it will most likely stay together as it makes reentry. we'll monitor that. maybe some interesting breaking news. to the weather we go, on other fronts. no pub intended. the forecast tomorrow, similar to today. weatherwise around the southern plains, even a tornado warning in oklahoma a li

and it did enter the atmosphere and we are going to see ail s d alexandra steel has been following thisered. >> it entered at 10:00 last night when we were on the air. it was pretty exciting. in southeast asia. no word on debris. it is in the indian ocean or china. there were two big cities along the flight path but of course if there was a populated area and debris we would know about it. as of not yet nothing has been spotted but interesting. it may be cold where you are watching us but hot in the tropics. td 18 just deemed such in the western caribbean. give you an idea the purples and reds where the heaviest storms and thunderstorms are. looks a bit disorganized but the expectation is tonight or tomorrow this to be a tropical storm which would be the 17th of the season. you can see where it is moving. we have tropical storm watches posted for the eastern portions of honduras. meaning that we will see tropical storm convections and conditions most likely within the next 48 hours. all eyes on that. here's a look at the potential path. hugging the coast making its way to the yucatan pe

. >>> alexandra steele, give us the football forecast. >> very cool temperatures, especially tonight.l, look at temperatures. 7:15 tonight. 57 at that point. big games here in the south. oklahoma versus texas tech, 70 degrees. but by the pack up and go home, how about 46 degrees in east lansing, michigan. gold if you're tailgating that. >> people love that for the football season. >> that's right. >> thanks so much, alexandra. >>> much more of the "newsroom" straight ahead. don lemon's not in. but deb feyerick is. every year? over 3 million. you say you can beat any advertised price on tires? correct. anywhere? yes. like this price? yes. riously? yes what about this one? i'll beat it. this one? s we will. right, i only have one more question for you...this one? (laughing) yeah. get $100 rebate when you buy four tires. 100 bucks! only at your ford dealer. 3 million tires. 11 major brands, fiona's kind-of-nice. i don't know why you're not here.

our meteorologist alexandra steele has a look at the worst commutes. >> well, not a lot of rough weathere country which is good news. let's walk you through really what we are seeing around the country, pretty benign conditions. pretty paltry, a good thing if you've traveling on this monday. a few showers in miami to slow you down. temperatures will get up into the upper 70s. cincinnati, some morning showers and thunder coming in at number four. i made number three in the midwest. that's kind of a story. low pressure kind of moving around the upper midwest, moving into the northeast. we'll see some morning showers, so the farther west you are, the quicker they'll move out. the number one place is buffalo, new york. going to see some rain and thunderstorms and some wind. but this will be a whole different scenario. talk about denver, colorado. tomorrow we'll see temperatures about 77, 78 degrees, record heat potentially. then in the next 48 hours after that, wie will see snow. the first snow of the season in denver, colorado. winter storm watch is posted there, so wow. good evening to you

meteorologiest alexandra steel. good or bad kmut for most of us. >> bad for a lot of us.we've been dealing with all weekend. the wind and the rain. so good evening, everyone. let's show you what we have. we'll start with number five and work to number one. number five is denver. windy conditions and a chance of winds. nds may be 15 to 25 mile per hour wind gusts. and then we stay to the west. we're going to take knew seattle. morning fog, especially through 11:00 a.m. then after that, that fog will dissipate. sunny skies and 63 degrees. so pretty nice afternoon. that's the caveat that's in the morning. to boston we go. winds tomorrow 10 to 20 miles an hour. gusts higher than. that then as we head to number two in detroit, winds to 20 to 30 miles per hour. today, 20,000 still without power. the wind, the culprit on saturday. again, still though tomorrow and the number one worst spot for travel, miami tomorrow. you know we have this incredible rain moving in. windy conditions as well. so let's take you live to miami. we'll show what you it looks like tonight. the winds, the

now let's turn to alexandra steele and talk about how historic this was.ber a storm this early up there. >> well, there hasn't been and certainly this monumental in scope, 30 inches for some. on a myriad of fronts, this is historic, the earliest snow, most snow, earliest school closing days courtesy snow, record state power outages, connecticut, massachusetts, 700,000, 800,000. in connecticut, though, this record was just in august from hurricane irene, this now usurping that. even record cold temperatures. so this had it on every front. just to give you perspective, 31 inches in new hampshire from this. and this was in and out, right? this was a one-day affair. plainfield,s mass mass, the berkshires getting hit the hardest. west milford, new jersey, mill brook, new york, 17 inches. no snow, no wind no rain anymore, but it is halloween so you're out there with the kids trick-or-treating? the only cav yauf yacht in the forecast, miami to orlando is the only trouble around 7:00, albeit some chilly weather new york, chicago and atlanta. but dry excise for the

. >>> want to go to alexandra steele in the weather center.t it, right, the most snow in some of those areas since the civil war that early in the season? >> that's absolutely right. that's when records began being kept, in the 1860s, 1869, 1861. so this storm unprecedented on so many fronts, the earliest snow for a day, the most snow for a day for a month. also in terms of records, in connecticut, just talking about massachusetts, it's a record power setting event for places like connecticut, being usurped only by august in hurricane irene, plane miening the greatest number of people without power. west hartford, connecticut, saturday alone tallying up to 20 inches, in central park, newark, in october they have never had an inch of snow on the ground. so record setting on so many fronts, including some of these numbers, 30 inches. again, a lot of this it in terms of 20s and 30s is because we saw thundersnow coming down at four inches an hour. if you looked at it out there, itted li elooked like waffles c down. forecast for halloween, we're go
