00:00Autumn is slowly starting to move in and it will feel that way here for a couple areas as we head throughout this weekend, especially across the Midwest and the northern plains. Take a look at this. This is the timing of our cold front as we head throughout today by this afternoon and this evening. It's going to make its way across the Great Lakes across central PA and then on Saturday. It's going to work its way offshore, bringing heavy rainfall. The rainfall is going to be one part of the equation. The other part is going to be this right here on the back side of this area of low pressure.
00:29This is going to be pulling in, thanks to help from the jet stream, some cooler air, especially during the overnight hours. We will see overnight lows dipping into the 40s and 50s here for tonight. 50 in Detroit, we'll see 50s in Chicago as well. So a very early fall-like start here for some areas.
00:48It's going to be a pretty nice start for your early Saturday, but as we head into Saturday afternoon, as that cold front makes its way during the day, it's going to bring heavy rain, even some flooding for parts of central PA and upstate New York. On the back side of that, cooler, drier air will slowly start to work in.
01:04So the rainfall here for the rest of your Friday, primarily across the Great Lakes, Buffalo down towards Pittsburgh, but as we head into your early Saturday morning and then into Saturday afternoon, that's when the rainfall chances are really going to start to pick up here as this rainfall makes its way across the Northeast. This is going to be heading throughout your Saturday and into early Sunday as well as this makes its way offshore, that cold front will. And behind that, that's when we really start to feel those cooling temperatures here as we head into next week.
01:30So for Saturday, your afternoon highs, we're going to see rain-cooled 60s and rain-cooled 70s here across the area. There will be a few thunderstorms embedded in here. Overall, the severe threat will remain relatively low, but I can't rule out the possibility of one, maybe two stray severe thunderstorm warnings here for tomorrow, but it's overall going to be a heavy rainfall event here as we head throughout your Saturday. Saturday evening, more heavy rain, more cool weather. So we'll be tracking that and we'll have more on AccuWeather ahead coming up.
