heading farther south and east near the gulf of mexico and then it will move up the eastern seaboard and really wrap up becoming mature storm system and historic in the mid atlantic and we are right on the edge. but a higher confidence this won't be a major storm system for us and we will talk about accumulating snow potentially in southeastern massachusetts and down towards the cape that's the best chance of seeing maybe a half foot of snowfall but a really sharp cut off and as you head north of the pica nonevent by new england winter standards and we will have the full run down on wind gusts and potential flooding. >> thank you. >>> at 5:30 a deadly accident involving a mini plow truck an he will determined man hit and killed yards from the home in redding. investigators are still looking into that crash on monday. >>> but -- but we know a vehicle clearing sidewalks hit the pedestrian and witnesses saw the whole thing. chantee lans has details. >> reporter: running-- redding on state police on the scene of this after a town sidewalk plow operator strikes and kills a walking elderly

rolling its way up the eastern seaboard moving out now. snowfall as far south almost not quite into savannah. columbia seeing snow. of course baltimore we showed then really heavy stuff to new jersey up into new york into boston. the snow is pulling away. conditions will improve but we have blizzard warnings in effect . we talk about winds already in the 15 while they've been higher today. 25 miles an hour gusting as high as 30. wind chills because of that wind stripping the heat away. holding in the lower 30s. we don't warm up. it may feel like it's in the 40's then overnight the winds die down wind chills will plummet again. finally as we work our way into tomorrow things begin to improve. freeze warnings in place across a good bit of central florida. two to four hours of subfreezing temperatures. bring in plants, pets. all the winds making for dangerous beach and boating conditions. it is going to br breezy and chilly out there. seven-day forecast. very small rain chance. lots of such next chance of rain wednesday and thursday. >> high

it will dive into the gulf coast and push toward the eastern seaboard.lace, and the cold air already lined up in police station as we place as well. right now two possibilities likely. one of them takes the trek parallel to the eastern see boar -- seaboard. another one is offshore keeping it confined to the mid atlantic region of the united states. heavy snow and significant impact possibilities at this point right there across the nation's capital toward virginia. the delmarva region, heavy snowfall from philadelphia to new york. moderate toward boston. the european model which has had good history, puts the bulls eye around the d.c. area and points south where the model thinks potentially 24 inches of snowfall. philadelphia, six to ten inches. new york city, just under 10 inches. boston just under 5 inches. tremendous wind as well. any time winds are over 35 miles per hour, you keep that going for three to four hours, blizzard like conditions develop. this is a widespread potential for blizzards to develop sometime saturday morning into saturday aftern

it'll move to the eastern seaboard and intensify. high pressure arctic high pressure, arctic beast because it's not going to allow this storm to come barreling up into new england. the h. wasn't there, then, i would be talking about a foot of snow but that is not going to happen. the storm gets forced out south of new england because pressure. the same high pressure that brought us sunshine today and again tomorrow but even with that said we'll stilling dealing with some snow. saturday most of the day is dry but we'll get into some patchy light snow boston south along the south shore. notice the shades of purple deeper along the south coast. the lighter shading around metro that is patches of light snow and flurries which the dry air will do a great job of chewing up the snow and not allow it to we'll have the snow going on late saturday evening, overnight saturday night and it pulls out of here quickly sunday morning. how much snow is on the way? not a lot of change to the forecast. a coating to an inch around the metro. 1-3 inches

you notice the big deep on the eastern seaboard but you notice the little cutoff right here. when the storms form this circle here, well to the south of new england, typically it's difficult to get the heavy snow up into new england. when these storms cut off, it's almost like a kid who doesn't want to share his toys. he removes himself from the play group. what that will most likely do is lay down a swath of heavy snow, north carolina, metro d.c. perhaps up to new york. not to say boston won't have any snow but it's something that we'll watch over the next couple of days. thinking right now again is that would be more focused south of new england than new england itself. but plan on at least some wintry weather saturday night and sunday morning. if you are travelling to the mid atlantic states on friday night, saturday. you may want to rethink the travel. going to be tough. getting rid of the wind. wind gusting 25-35 miles an hour. that fade away overnight. it's a cold day tomorrow and even thursday friday with mostly sunny skies the next three days. temperatures tomorrow ne
