let's start with rob. hi, rob. >> this storm is happening, the second of the season. the first one coming the third week of december, a record breaker there, this one could be another record breaker. let's go to the maps. it's starting with heavy rain across the south, even severe weather across the gulf states. a lot of moisture with this. just like the last time, it's heading into cold air north of the north carolina/virginia border. there you see it's turning into snow at times it will switch over to sleet but for the most part it will stay all snow as we go through the next 24 hours. look at all the watches and warnings posted. everything in red is a winter storm warning, the pink in jersey and delaware is a blizzard warning. we expect to see over 20 inches of snow in and around the washington, d.c., area. how much snow new york gets is still a question, probably in the likes of four to eight inches. if the track of this thing shifteds any further to the north, new york could easily get over a foot as well. a tough call for the big apple. d.c. not a tough call, a

our rob marciano in the cnn weather center. i see a lot of blue that looks like it's headed our way on your radar there. >> good morning, guys. this is going to be another big storm for the mid-atlantic especially. remember a month ago when the d.c. area got crushed with over 20 inches of snow. this may very well be a repeat performance. look at the moisture on this thing. a huge scope of precip from snow across kansas and heavy rain in through parts of the gulf states. this rain shield is deep in its extent of moisture. its expanse is heading off to the north and east. will get into atlanta in just a couple of hours. it will run into colder air as it gets towards the mid-atlantic. winter storm watches and warnings are posted for the carolinas in through parts of virginia, including d.c. and baltimore. new york might get clipped with this as well. we'll detail it a little bit more in about 30 minutes. back up to you. >> we're going to get our shovels and our innertubes. thanks, rob. >>> still ahead on the most news this morning
