WEBVTT SNOW. YES. LISTEN, I NEED TO REMIND YOU. ON MARCH 30, 1997, IT WAS 66 DEGREES. THE NEXT DAY, THAT BECAME THE APRIL FOOLS NOR EASTER WITH 25.5 INCHES OF SNOW IN BOSTON. WE CAN HAVE FLIP AROUND. THIS ONE WILL NOT BE THAT EXTREME. WE HIT THE 50'S TODAY, WE ARE SLOWLY COOLING RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR MOST OF THE AREA. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR THOSE IN THE SOUTHEAST. AND THE CAPE, WHERE IT WILL BE HARDER TO SWITCH TO THE SNOW. NOT AS MUCH. BE AWARE THAT THERE WILL BE HEAVY, WET SNOW, THAT COULD HAVE ISSUES ON POWER LINES AND TREES. IT IS 49 IN BOSTON. EVER SO SLOWLY THE COLD AIR WILL WORK IN. AS THE MOISTURE BUILDUP -- BUILDS UP, THE TEMPERATURE WILL DROP AND BY TOMORROW MORNING, IT WILL BE SNOWING IN BOSTON, RAINING ON THE CAPE, IT WILL BE AROUND FREEZING. THAT SUPPORTS THE WET SNOW. AFTER THE STORM -- IT IS RAINING DOWN ON THE CAPE RIGHT NOW. IT'S OF THE TIMELINE ON THIS, AS THE STORM GOES NORTHEAST, IT WILL PULL RAIN INTO BOSTON AROUND 11:00. IN THE MORNING, THE COLD AIR WILL COME IN. SEE THE PINK? IT IS MIXING. AND AFTER 5:00, IT WILL GO TO ALL HEAVY, WET SNOW. IT WILL DO THIS FOR SEVERAL HOURS. IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST, GETTING TO THE CAPE AND ISLANDS AFTER THE MORNING COMMUTE. AND THEN IT WILL WIND DOWN FOR THE LATE EVENING COMMUTE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MODELS. THIS IS THE MOST AMOUNT OF SNOW, IT COULD BE 9-10 INCHES FROM BOSTON TO PLYMOUTH TO PROVIDENCE. OTHER MODELS ARE MODEST. BUT THERE IS GOING TO BE A HALF FOOT OF SNOW. THE MODEST IDEA, THERE WILL BE ABOUT A HALF FOOT OF SNOW IN THE AREA. A LITTLE BIT LESS AT THE CAPE AND ISLANDS. SO WHEN TIMING THIS, MEDIUM CHANCE OF HAVING CERTIFICATE -- SIGNIFICANT IMPACT IN THE EVENING. VERY HIGH IN BOSTON IN THE MORNING. HERE ARE THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. WE ARE GOING TO BE QUIET OVER THE WEEKEND. WE HAVE ANOTHER STORM POTENTIAL IN THE FORM OF SNOW, IF IT COMES CLOSE ENOUGH. THAT WILL BE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.
