Page 3 - Nor Easter Type Storm News Today

Storm. weve already been warnedicle t from him. buffalo, detroit, syracuse, northern new england, this one is heading for you. tonight it will be a large storm growing in size. heres how the timing shapes up. nothing really bad today, but as we go through tonight, especially the chicago area overnight, by the time we get to 6:00 p.m., heavy rain throughout so you were half of new england. northern half, like whiteout type snow. really intense snow maybe as much as a foot in a few areas. maybe 1 ...

Somewhere through the cat skills and mass pike we could see a foot plus. then boston, 8 to 12 and providence 4 to 12. new york city to pittsburgh and philadelphia 2 inches of snow and sleet and freezing rain on top of it. >> terrific. >> a mess. mika, forget to mention the storm possibly the noreaster. this would be sunday night/monday morning, computers in a little bit of disagreement. one has a brush. the other has a major hit with a cold fashioned noreaster type storm so we will update that i...

Think we could deal with it. some people dont have school, some going back. kind of a mixed bag. the problem is that its so cold that the treatments on the roads wont be as effective and the fact that well have to clear id walks and driveways and cars in windchills below zero, that will be something we havent done in a while in many areas of new england and the ohio valley. lets start with it this morning, heaviest snow elected over indianapolis. light fluffy snow, but again, it doesnt get treat...

Lets start off with the temperatures. those plunge. its made all the way down to texas and new mexico. thats where youll have trouble over the day today with winter weather advisories from wichita to oklahoma city, even close to dallas we have a winter storm watch. you may see some wintry weather as we go throughout your friday and saturday. we have some freezing dri he will drizzle west texas, heavy snow on the border of colorado and new mexico. this weekend, we watch dallas today youre okay. s...

Was giving us that forecast it was going back and forth. is it a hurricane, is it not a hurricane, is it a hurricane? now the national hurricane center is taking a lot of heat because it didnt issue hurricane watches and warnings. the center proposed changes to criteria for storm warnings for everybody because of this one storm on the east coast. what does it all mean really? janice dean is here. hopefully you explain it to us, jd. what was going on behind the scenes whether this storm was a hur...

It was interacting with a cold canadian storm and becoming that superstorm. very rare meteorological event. this is historic. we never had something like this making landfall. the national hurricane center was saying scientifically it is not a hurricane so we cant in good faith issue hurricane watches and warnings. jenna: let me stop you there because youre one weather forecaster, the best weather forecaster by the way in the entire country. im a little biased lets say that. there are thousands ...

Intelligence reports suggests otherwise. this bloody conflict, jon, seems to be entering a new phase where we dont really know what will happen. jon: ominous developments there. conor powell, thank you. jenna: well, it was a storm for the record books. superstorm sandy devastating parts of the east coast. it may have been just a category 1 hurricane, just a category 1 but remember, remember this warning from our very own janice dean? >> a million people could be affected by this storm. so people...

Issue their own warnings. but they couldnt issue hurricane watches and warnings. jenna: why not? >> because the national hurricane center are only ones that can issue hurricane watches and warnings. the northeast was issuing gail warnings, flood warnings something you typically see with a noreaster. this was unprecedented. they did that as the storm was making landfall with 90 mile-per-hour winds and 10-foot storm surge we were jumping up and down why arent you saying there needs to be hurricane...

Transition to a noreaster type storm. so they will still be able to issue hurricane watches and warnings even if scientifically its not a hurricane. jenna, i think mixed messages might been the problem here with mayor bloomberg. two days before this storm hit, two days, it was still technically a hurricane, he was saying it will not be that bad. it will not be as bad as irene. i think we have a clip from mayor bloomberg. >> we are not ordering evacuations as of this time for any parts of the cit...

I have a lifetime of experience. so i know how important that is. jenna: right now sandy is a category 1 hurricane as it approaches the east coast but the storm is expected to morph into more of a noreaster with high winds and driving rains as it guesses closer to land. landfall is projected sometime tonight but someone who knows better about all this is meteorologist maria molina. she has the latest on sandys path. >> jenna, thanks. thats right, were expecting sandy to become nonhurricane but m...
