Lee goldberg got there. You have been tracking all of it for us. You have been massaging this forecast back and forth, back and forth. Listen everything has to go right to get a big spring snowstorm. This time of year it is not easy. Overall the ground is warm the atmosphere is starting to warm up. And yesterday i thought there was a pretty strong chance that everything was sort of this position for several inches. Many inches of snowfall across the area. Today it doesnt look as strong a chance. First of all cloudy skies. What we are watching tonight is cold air coming in. This sunday storm is not moving into an ice cold air mass. Temperature right now 56. The pressure is Holding Steady and the high reached 57 today. Still low to mid50s on long island. 43 in monticello. There it is sitting over i90 and upper 30s in the parts of new england and teens and 20s across eastern canada. So have an umbrella for a brief shower for the next few hours, gusty winds, still a cool breeze this evening. Well drop into the mid40s by midnight and mid30s by daybreak. 20s in suburbs. There is a breeze tomorrow, not nearly as gusty today and sunshine will be mixing with high clouds in the afternoon hours. So these showers that we have right now, as we told you yesterday the thunder threat is not nearly as great today. A couple of brief showers, might be a snowflake happening in parts of the catskills right now. Cooler air working in gusty a you might want to have the umbrella for that. All ahead, chilly air near hudson bay and it noses into the northeast and gives us a nice half of the weekend, albeit chilly sunshine in the 40s. As this area of rain and snow team up for a coastal system. Tomorrow morning bundle up. Upper 20s to middle 30s. It feels like 20s tomorrow morning. We should warm into the mid40s with bright sunshine, the afternoon. Nice day although the clouds are increasing south of the city. By sunday morning as the storm approaches, it is cold enough for snow. Certainly spots where if it starts snowing the roadways would be wet. As we go through the day it will remain that way, a wet snow. Futurecast brief showers through the early evening hours. This particular computer model is bringing it in late morning. It could be a little earlier than that. Where it shows rain in Staten Island and brooklyn, it is coming in as wet snow. The one message i think is clear is the steadier snow will be during the Daylight Hours and early evening hours of sunday and then things will leave. The reason i didnt show you the rest of the futurecast is i dont agree with the way it is portraying the snow continuing all the way through sunday night. I think it is actually ending around midnight. With the Snowfall Forecast obviously a pretty big shift in these bands. Right now i have all of new jersey in 1 to 3 inches. That includes new york city and western long island and most of the hudson valley. The one thing i will say is if you are in Higher Elevation you have the chance to get maybe even a couple of isolated 40s. But the best chance of 3 to 6 inches of snow would be over connecticut and central and eastern long island. The totals, a slight push east with the track. But more importantly the snow coming during the Daylight Hours sunday and bleeding into the early evening. So a brief shower evening. Clearing and cold wind chills in the 20s. On the chilly side tomorrow, sun olympic wkyc afternoon clouds. Sunrise will linger. Maybe on the island it is slip pri, but well have for watch that closely. Timing will be critical.

If he doesnt know, we have no chance of finding out. Explain what happens here if you havent read the novels for young adults that inspired this series of movies. People think walls separate us. But they also protect us. Reporter in the future, as imagined here, society is confined to chicago, and divided into factions according to personality.

You are genetically pure. Reporter from here, it is a lot tougher to figure out what is going on. And critics do not appreciate being kept in the dark, which been so vicious, even savage. There are enough visual treats here that im not going to totally slam it but the third time is definitely not the charm when it comes to the series. And with so much happening outside of chicago, faction leaders naomi watts and Octavia Spencer are almost entirely wasted. This reminds me that great actors use bad movies to make great money to pay a few bills which allows them to support themselves so they can take lower wages for better projects. That is fine for them. But it doesnt mean you should spend your hardearned money to see them dave and liz. There is a lot of dye hard fans of that series. The books. Visually it is fine. Theo james is very wooden as the hero. Perhaps basketball instead this weekend. Ncaa. A school fight caught on camera. Students brawling in the hallway. Now the latest on the fallout from this.

Certainly there are signs this is not a huge scope when we talk about big time snowfall totals. The only problem will be if it does linger into sunday nights watch out for slip pri travel. On the final friday of winter it hasnt been bad. If you look at the cloud base, raindrops falling out onto the ground. You know one of the reasons why it is tough to get snowfall in spring is there is a difference between went and spring snowstorms. First of all you see a dryer typically more powdery snow in temperatures. Entire atmosphere. Warmer ground. Already out of the gate, you have less of a chance of piling up snow total in spring unless you have a perfect storm track and especially if a lot of the snow comes during the nighttime hours. Both have in question with this storm. Through the day tomorrow obviously the nicer half of the weekend cooler, sunshine mixing with clouds, especially high clouds during the afternoon. Southernmost new jersey could have a raindrop by the end of the day. Showers reaching the ground and sprinkles starting to wither away already. A couple of flurries from the air moving nthis is the sort of unorganized area of heavy rainfall and snow that will continue solid date into a storm off the carolina coast saturday night into sunday initially this rain over st. Louis is going to streak out, ahead of the main storm and we may see snow on say dc by tomorrow afternoon but i think the initial batch is going to stay to the south. That could delay the overall onset of some of this wet snow. I have hope maybe wet snow flakes wait until the end of the new York City Marathon<\/a> maybe later than that. It is going to be a close call. Meanwhile through the rest of the afternoon, showers will be ending. Turns much colder overnight. Our numbers are in the 20s and mid30s. Mid40s in the afternoon and clouds increasing from southwest to northeast during the afternoon. This particular computer model is waiting until the midday. I think it might be earlier than that but that is a good sign if that trend continues. I think the steadiest snow in the storm will be sunday afternoon and if you look close were in the mid30s. Tough to stick during the Daylight Hours<\/a>. With that in mind 1 on to 3 inches for western new Jersey New York<\/a> city and parts of long island.

Thieves bought some authentic baseball memorabilia with some fakes, but somebody even stole some real shrunken heads as seen in a facebook post. Reporter you saw what dave did there, right . The believe it or not. There are a bunch of great collections here. I did not know they had a great baseball collection. It was from that someone stole a bat joe dimaggio used during his 56 game hitting streak. Its wrong, but thats not creepy. The other thing they stole, two real human shrunken heads, okay, thats creepy. Tucked in among the twin trunked elephants and the two headed cows at ripleys believe it or not in times square is interesting room in the oddatorium as they call it, the baseball room with great memorabilia, much from yankees legends, but just down the hall is something genuinely creepy. We take and shrink the heads as trophies. As a human head. Reporter folks at ripleys claim, in fact, they have the biggest collection of genuine real shrunken heads in the world, which you know, may be true because who else would collect them . It seems both the shrunken head room and the baseball room were recently robbed. A couple days ago we noticed that the joe dimaggio autographed bat and ball from his 1941 streak, the no. 17 bat, was not the correct item. We realized it was fake. Reporter someone replaced the joe dimaggio bat with a fick one. Balls autographed by joe dimaggio and ted williams were stolen. On their own theyre not worth that much. We still have the certificates of authenticity, so whoever has tape these, theres no way theyll taken these, theres no way theyll be able to sell them for what theyre worth. Reporter it doesnt seem the areas were robbed by the same person. Any market out there for shrunken heads . Not that im personally aware of. Reporter both items should be pretty easy to find if anybody ever does try to sell them on the open market. The problem theyre having right now here is that they dont really know what the thefts happened. They noticed them missing on wednesday, but they have three weeks of Surveillance Video<\/a> to look through and it may not have happened in that time frame.

The air is very dry. 53 and well drop quickly winter coat as we go through the overnight hours. Winds have been gusty today, some 40 mileperhour gusts that will back off during the evening hours. Were seeing numbers drop to the 40s in the catskills, a sign of the air coming into the areas, not only that, a couple of flurries in the highest elevations and a few sprinkles in the next few hours and sunshine south of i78.
