ontario 5 to 10 centimeters of snow as well going through the next 24 hours. more the most part, high pressure is dominating and that's bringing dry conditions. not only that into the southwest what we are seeing is warm conditions there into los angeles. and it's not just that, one of these local things going on there is the santa ana winds. gusts up to 100 kilometers per hour from this high pressure off to the coastline along with these dry conditions, warm temperatures, extreme fire danger is expected there from san diego off towards north into los angeles. fire bans are in place. this is definitely a very risky scenario if you plan on lighting fires. actually right now, fire bans are in place. you shouldn't be doing that anyways. any fire that does start, very well could spread very quickly. messy in the west off towards europe. the british isles, one system after another. this one as it moves east we're going to be looking at some snowfall into parts of france, even snow advisories currently in place at this time. makes for some rough travel conditions an

we do have some lake effect snow bands across erie and ontario. then this is our weather maker across the west. we're seeing upwards of three feet of snow in the cascades and the northern rockies as well as rain and wind which will start to dissipate throughout the day into tomorrow. we still have winter weather advisories for many states as well as high wind warnings. we're getting readings of 70-mile-per-hour winds. we want to point out santa ana winds will kick up this evening into tomorrow for southern california. very dry out here and warm. the fire danger is high as we head into monday and tuesday. so keep that in mine. taking look at the future radar. we'll see thing taper off here. but as we head into monday morning's commute, a cold front will bring plenty of moisture from the gulf of mexico across the gulf coast and then pushing across the southeast monday and tuesday into the northeast with a little bit of lake effect snow as well. there is the forecast precipitation. several inches of rain. we'll keep that flash flood watches and warni

kicking this off is our storm system that is now moving across eastern portions of canada over towards ontario, off in to quebec. still about 30 to 60 centimeters of snow could fall out of this, not to mention some fairly gusty winds. so you have blowing snow. as that moves east our high pressure all the way in from the northern arctic, and what's controlling this is this big dip in the jet stream, that's going to dive down there towards the south. and really, if you are outside in some of these temperatures, which, through the overnight hours, we're talking about minus 25 to minus 30 degrees, that's not including the windchill. windchills could get much lower than that. hypothermia, frostbite, all are going to be problems as this does continue to extend farther off here towards the east. then you have those gusty winds coming in. let's take a look at your monday highs across the u.s. minus 24 in winnipeg. minus 24 there in chicago. this is that leading edge of that arctic air mass we're talking about. and now, take a look at the three-day forecast. lows, bismarck at minus 26. even in atlanta,

lake ontario towards michigan this is where we're getting the lake-effect snow. elsewhere you're seeing the frigid temperatures, even farther down towards the south. but it's because that cold air, very cold, arctic air, comes over the relatively warm lakes. and that creates instability and it drops that snowfall, even thundersnow has been seen out there just because of the very large difference in the temperatures. this is what's going on right now. the good news, high pressure is going to work its way in so that snow will be tapering off over the next 24 hours, out here. temperature still remaining cold. good news is that right now, look at that winnipeg minus 23. chicago at minus 2. toronto at minus 12. things will be warming up. these are your lows over the next three days atlanta from minus 9 up to 2. you're not even going to be getting below the freezing mark and that's some good news there for you, even over towards new york up to minus 1 for your low. a little bit above average for some of you. so it's going to be warming up in the near future. but i woul

also the winds that are going to be producing blizzard conditions off of the lakes, lake erie and ontario, anywhere from 1 to 3 or even 2 to 5 feet of snow will be possible in those regions with the strong winds and heavy amounts of snow bringing visibility down. this cold air mass we know is moving all the way down even into the southeast today where temperatures are going to be dropping 30 degrees from just yesterday. so, many places in the southeast, hard to believe, are going to be below freezing even as we go throughout the afternoon. now, i know it feels miserable for so many of us, but remember, the worst is still out towards minneapolis, out towards minnesota. we're talking about temperatures there still in that particularly dangerous situation, that rare issuance of awareness there. we're talking about temperatures 40 below to even 60 below. they're still talking about those dangerous temperatures out there. the relief, we all need to know, comes as early as tomorrow, about a good 10-degree warm-up every day. and of course, it takes time to get back to where we need to be when it
