00:00But heading farther north is a different story.
00:01Here we have a little stripe of snow,
00:03and that's continuing to accumulate.
00:05You can see some of the deeper blues here
00:07in this corridor from around Fort Drum and Watertown,
00:11right across the central part of New Hampshire and Vermont,
00:14kind of nosing toward the area of Portland, Maine, soon.
00:18But the back edge of this is going
00:20to bring a slightly colder area.
00:21And so the rain-snow line pushing south.
00:23Buffalo, you had rain.
00:24Back over to snow now.
00:26Detroit, you're seeing that transition now,
00:28and moving into northern parts of Wayne and Monroe County
00:31now, we're going to see that transition, too.
00:33So overall, we're ending with a little bit of snow
00:35in some areas, but this has predominantly
00:38been a rain event for much of the region.
00:40Looking at current temps, we are back down to 29 in Burlington,
00:44so a little colder there.
00:45But yesterday, we were in the teens at this hour.
00:47We were in the low 70s a little bit ago in Virginia Beach.
00:50Still 68 degrees there.
00:51So here's your footprint of snow tonight.
00:53We're wrapping this up by early tomorrow morning
00:55with 1 to 3 inches in southern Maine,
00:573 to 6 inches into the green, the White Mountains,
01:00and coastal down east Maine as well.
01:02Saturday is going to be a pretty chilly day,
01:04but a brighter, drier one for most of us
01:06as the precipitation exits off to the east.
01:09There could be a little bit of leftover snow flurry action
01:11into coastal New England in the morning.
01:13Sunday, though, look at this.
01:14Here comes a new storm system.
01:15This one crosses the northern part of the region with snow.
01:19And if you're not in that area, if you're near,
01:21say, interstate 80 or south, it's
01:23just going to be a dry day on Sunday.
01:26So Sunday, there's the footprint of the snow.
01:28Through midday, Buffalo to Rochester to Watertown.
01:31Areas to the south, nothing too wild going on.
01:35Again, we'll have that Newark forecast in a moment.
01:38But the snow with the second storm
01:40will cruise through northern Minnesota, Wisconsin,
01:42and Michigan Saturday.
01:43And then through Sunday, 1 to 3 inches
01:45of snow for more of upstate New York, with 3 to 6 inches
01:48into the Adirondacks, the Green and White Mountains.
01:50And we'll close with a quick glance at that Newark forecast
01:53as the snow falls up into Rochester, Newark, New Jersey.
01:56Not bad.
01:573 degrees cooler than the historical average
01:59for February 2nd.
02:00Groundhog Day, mostly cloudy there.
02:02And we'll have to see what some of Phil's competition
02:06happens to see.
02:07There's a Staten Island creature.
02:09You know, there's some other popular alternatives
02:12to Punxsutawney Phil.
02:13It's you describing it as a Staten Island creature.
02:15I can't remember what kind of animal it is.
02:17Maybe it's a groundhog.
02:18I don't remember.
02:19I think it is.
02:20But creature is such a word.
02:23So there's a lot of different types
02:24of animals that we'll predict.
02:26And we, of course, will give you the forecast based
02:30on science and all of that.
