a big rainmaker. as far as the wind chills go, it feels like winter from buffalo to upstate new york. we've had snow overnight, just north of boston. some people will do shoveling on the north shore. as far as what we're looking at, wind chill across the country, a cold morning in chicago. you'll love your extended forecast, big warmup coming your way throughout the weekend and into next week. there's not a lot of wet weather out there. i mentioned the know in new england that will be exiting. snow from dallas to san antonio to waco, maybe an inch. strong winds expected with that, too. for your saturday forecast, i mention that warmup in chicago. beautiful 57. look at minneapolis at 60. denver gorgeous, too. northeast and mid-atlantic, your warmup comes as we go into sunday, up near 60 degrees once again. i-95 from d.c. to new york, still a chance of wet weather in the middle of the country. if there's one spot that has less than ideal this weekend, it will be in america's heartland. >> thanks for the

could be a good rainmaker for the bay area for next week into next weekend as we will be looking at potential rain around the area. here is a look into tomorrow. we will see few hundred of light drizzle. and kick into the second wave through midweek you will notice the rainfall totals bump up significantly. another one due toward the end of the week and then showers into and possibly thunderstorms into next weekend. so we could see some rainfall totals that add up to numbers anywhere in two to four inch range by this time next weekend. now the seven day total, not two or three day total. one to three inches in the east bay and south bay and then more than that in the hills as you would expect. so it does look like a wet week taking shape. which means more snow in the high country and through tuesday we will see an additional one to three feet by the end of next week and could be double that as again a lot of moisture is lurking in the offshore waters. cool temperatures will continue mid- to upper 50s for most areas today a few low 60s out there. we will hang on to the low 60s into and through
