Video: Snow, sleet then rain for parade day

BE SO
EXCITED ANYWAY.
RANDY: THEY WON'T NOTICE IT.
CINDY: IF YOU ARE HEADING THERE,
BRING SOMETHING TO KEEP YOU WARM
AND DRY.
EMILY: OKAY.
CINDY: IT IS GOING TO BE TURNING
TO RAIN, I THINK, BY NOONTIME IN
BOSTON WITH AN INITIAL BURST OF
SNOW AND SLEET BEFORE THE PARADE
BEGINS.
BUT IT'S A CHANGE OVER TO RAIN.
THERE'S SNOW ON RADAR NORTH OF
THE CITY.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THAT
MAIN EVENT THAT'S GOING TO BE
SLIDING IN.
THIS IS SLEET ALREADY HAPPENING
HERE IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW
YORK STATE, SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY,
AND THIS IS THE ICY MIX THAT'S
GOING TO BE WORKING INURE
DIRECTION.
IT'S 29 IN WORCESTER.
CLOSER TO THE COASTLINE, AND WE
ARE RUNNING AT OR ABOVE THE
FREEZING MARK AT LEAST RIGHT
NOW.
THE TEMPERATURES WILL CLIMB
CLOSER TO 40 DEGREES THIS
AFTERNOON.
OVER THE INTERIOR, WE ARE GOING
TO HOLD JUST AT OR BELOW
FREEZING, AND THAT IS THE
CONCERN THAT EVEN AS WE CHANGE
OVER TO RAIN, THAT RAIN MAY
FREEZE ON CONTACT AND MAKE FOR
SLIPPERY CONDITIONS FOR
TRAVELING RIGHT ON THROUGH THIS
EVENING.
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY.
ICE ACCRETION THROUGH THE
WORCESTER HILLS AND THE
BERKSHIRES COULD EXCEED .1 TO
.25 INCH, AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY
GOING TO CAUSE CONCERNS AND MAKE
TRAVELING SLIPPERY AS WELL.
NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF SNOW OUT
OF THIS SYSTEM.
ROUTE 2 THROUGH NEW HAMPSHIRE,
WE MAY GET MORE THAN A COUPLE OF
INCHES OF SNOW.
NORTH OF THE PIKE AND FROM THE
PIKE SOUTH, UNDER AN INCH
THERE IS SOME COLD TO THE NORTH.
LOOK HOW WARM IT IS TO THE
SOUTH.
60 OR HIGHER CINCINNATI DOWN
TOWARD CHARLESTON.
THAT'S WHAT'S WORKING IN OUR
DIRECTION.
SO WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS
WARMER AIR RIDING IN, AND THAT'S
GOING TO CREATE MORE
PRECIPITATION.
LET ME STEP YOU THROUGH THE
TIMELINE.
NOT A LOT HAPPENS DURING THE
NEXT HOUR AND A HALF.
BETWEEN 7:00 AND 8:00, THINGS
GET GOING.
AN INITIAL BURST OF SNOW AROUND
BOSTON NORTH OF THE PIKE WILL
TRANSITION QUICKLY OVER TO RAIN
SOUTH OF THE PIKE.
BY 11:00 A.M. PARADE TIME, THERE
IS SNOW TO THE NORTH WITH ICING
OVER THE INTERIOR AND RAIN
SOUTHWARD.
LOOK AT THE RAIN/SNOW LINE
INCHING NORTHWARD INTO THE EARLY
AFTERNOON.
BY THE TIME WE GET TO THE
EVENING COMMUTE, IT'S WARM
ENOUGH FOR PLAIN RAIN INSIDE
495.
OUTSIDE OF 495, PINK I
INDICATING SLEET AND FREEZING
RAIN.
THE PRECIPITATION BEGINS TO
TAPER OFF TONIGHT.
WE'LL WATCH ONE FINAL BURST
TOMORROW MORNING WITH MILDER
TEMPERATURES.
THAT'S A COLD FRONT.
WE'RE GOING TO WATCH THIS FRONT.
AS IT SLIDES SOUTHWARD TOMORROW,
AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE MAY
DEVELOP ALONG IT.
THAT COULD BE TROUBLE LATER ON
THIS WEEK.
TALK MORE ABOUT THAT.
WE JOIN METEOROLOGIST KELLY ANN.
MORE SNOW ON THURSDAY, KELLY
ANN.
KELLY ANN: IT'S INVOLVING WHAT
LOOKS TO BE A COASTAL STORM AS
WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY'S
FORECAST.
AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF A PLOWABLE
SNOWFALL IS NOW INCREASING.
THE HEAVIEST ACCUMULATIONS
LOOKING TO SHIFT DOWN TO OUR
SOUTH.
THIS IS GOING TO HAVE IMPACT ON
BOTH COMMUTES, THE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT'S
EXPECTED AS WE LOOK INTO THE
FORECAST AHEAD.
WE HAVE COLDER AIR PUSHING INTO
THE REGION AS WE MOVE INTO
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.
THAT'S SETTING US UP AS THIS
COASTAL STORM EVOLVES FOR IT TO
MOVE IN WITH ALL SNOWFALL
EXPECTED.
NOT WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING FOR
TODAY.
WE HAVE THE COLD NORTHEAST WIND
SETTING UP WITH THAT STORM
SYSTEM PUSHING JUST TO OUR
SOUTH.
NOTICE AS WE MOVE INTO THURSDAY
IN THE MIDAFTERNOON HOURS, THOSE
HEAVIER CONTOURS OF BLUE MOVING
ONTO THE SOUTH COAST AND THE
CAPE AND ISLANDS, AND A CASE
WHERE HEAVIER SNOWFALL IS GOING
TO FALL.
THAT STICKS AROUND THROUGH THE
EVENING AS WELL.
AND THAT IS WHY IN THOSE
PARTICULAR AREAS, ESPECIALLY AS
WE TRAVEL SOUTH OF 95, THAT WE
ARE GOING TO SEE HEAVIER
ACCUMULATIONS OF SNOWFALL
LIKELY.
THAT QUICKLY PUSHES OFF THE
COAST AS WE HEAD INTO THURSDAY
EVENING.
SO PLOWABLE SNOWFALL LIKELY.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CHANCE IS
GLA
GREATEST AS WE TRAVEL TO THE
SOUTH.
IN THE DAYS AHEAD, THE PATTERN
IS LOOKING MORE ACTIVE.
CINDY: THURSDAY IS AN IMPACT
WEATHER DAY FOR THE REASON YOU
JUST MENTIONED.
A BREAK ON FRIDAY, BUT IT'S VERY
COLD.
LOOK AT THIS SATURDAY AND
SUNDAY, TWO WEAK SYSTEMS COMING
THROUGH.
BY SUNDAY, A WINTRY MIX LATE IN
THE DAY THAT WILL PROBABLY
TRANSITION OVER TO RAIN AS
TEMPERATURES WARM BACK INTO THE
40'S BY MONDAY.
CERTAINLY, AN ACTIVE PATTERN
