a lot of snow, possibly record—breaking amounts in the hills around and the mountains around la. down in la itself, the city, i thinkjust a cold rain, don't think there is much of a chance for snow down around sea level. they will get around sea level. they will get a big storm and in terms of travelling out of la, for example north up to the bay area, i imagine that freeway will be shut down for something like at least a day. haifa will be shut down for something like at least a day.— like at least a day. how well our authority _ like at least a day. how well our authority is _ like at least a day. how well our authority is preparing i like at least a day. how well| our authority is preparing for this and responding to this weather event?— this and responding to this weather event? well, like i said, weather event? well, like i said. we — weather event? well, like i said, we have _ weather event? well, like i said, we have seen - weather event? well, like i said, we have seen it - weather event? well, like i i said, we have seen it coming from multiple days. ahead of the rain and snow, we had tremendous wins. up here it was on about tuesday or wednesday, a day later down there. the electric company was ready for the wins, they had their trucks
around as rain continues to creep up the east coast. >> cold temperatures could turn that rain into snow over some parts. cnn meteorologist saallison chinchar is joining us. >> as far south as georgia and alabama but not likely to stick but mixing in. southern appalachians, virginia and north carolina likely to see snow stick around and stick to the ground. this is going to be a fast moving system in 24 hours taking the rain and snow and slide it up through the mid-atlantic before going out over the open water. highest snowfall accumulation in western virginia with four to
we head into the afternoon and especially into the evening hours. so you still have over 25 million people under flood watches for today and even into tomorrow. but it's not just about the rain that's falling now. you also have to take into account all of the rain that has already fallen in just the last two to three weeks. take, for example, reno, sacramento, san francisco, and even santa barbara. all of these locations have picked up roughly six months' worth of rain in just two weeks. so, again, they need the rain. they want the rain. they just don't want that much in a very short period of time. now we're talking about adding even more rain on top of it. the first atmospheric river is under away as we speak. that's what's bringing the rain and snow to a lot of the areas today. we get a brief break late tonight and into early sunday morning. but by the time we get to sunday afternoon, that next round begins to push back in, and it is expected to last all the way through monday. it's not just the rain and snow but also the wind component too. you've got wind advisories in effect for numerous states here,
not just california, where those wind gusts are expected to get up to about 50 miles per hour. when you go higher up in elevation, now you're talking 60 to 70 miles per hour. that has the potential to bring down additional trees and even trigger some additional power outages. in terms of rain, most of the areas the additional rainfall we anticipate over the next 48 to 72 hours, about 2 to 3 inches, especially along the coastal regions. when we talk about snow, the heaviest is certainly going to be in the sierras where it will be measured in 3 to 6 feet by the time we get through the day monday. it's not just for california, though. a lot of that snow spreads into the intermountain west where we also have winter storm warnings and winter weather advisory. the good news, once we get to the end of the upcoming week, we finally start to see a drier pattern begin to set in across this area so that they can finally have some chance to dry out and perhaps clean up the mess as well. >> yeah. isn't that the contrast now, celebrating what could be a dry
there? >> hi, sam, i hope you like roller coasters. we're going to see temperatures ranging from the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s in the south. we're running 20 degrees above normal in many locations that takes us into the new year. 50s and 60s. richmond, ending up at 66 degrees sunday in charlotte. if you're tracking the rain and snow, we do have some of that. it's going to extend into parts of the south where we could see a severe thunderstorm. and the potential for ice lated tornado for louisiana, texas and arkansas. 1 to 4 inches of snow in parts the northern plains. as we continue through your friday, saturday, sunday, that rain unfortunately spreads to the east. this means if you have outdoor new year's eve plans, you're definitely going to want to bring that rain gear with you. we'll see warm temperatures with you. but the rain gear will be definitely needed. >> well, it definitely beats the negative degrees we were experiencing last week but it is a roller coaster very much.
it will be about 45 degrees just here in new york city. but that's not an experience that's unique to new york city. almost everybody across central and eastern part of the country has experienced that. now, the rain in the snow that's going to start to march off to the north and east as we move on through the overnight hours tonight. the actual precipitation, the impacts from that start to throttle back . but the cold hangs around the cold and the lake effect snow right on through christmas weekend. and it is problematic because of these feels like temperatures that for millions across the country will be way below zero. >> all right, ian , thank you so much. and stay warm if you can. >> and all right. i mean, let's talk. but i'll start with you, jessica. i mean, you know, they talk about the rain and snow, but then the freezing weather comes afterwards. so it's got to be all ice on the black black ice. right. for all these people who have switched it up and said, okay, my flight got canceled or delayed forever, let me drive . and we're actually the heat
heavy rain in tennessee and kentucky and back towards the west. very heavy in coastal portions of california, stretching up the pacific northwest but once this gets inland, elevation and runs into the cold air, big winter system. we've got winter weather alerts stretching from california particularly this year in nevada and then stretches inland across the really large area taking you over towards arizona, back up into idaho and portions of the pacific northwest, large area where you will see a whole lot of snow. the largest snow in sierra nevada, several feet of snow, big area, pay attention to the monitor up there in the top and you will see areas pretty widespread getting to a foot of snow, dusting across basically at least the entire west. this plays out with the rain and snow. very heavy rain throughout the day today across coastal areas and then begins to move further inland, you talk about sunday, more snow is falling in some of the inland areas.
