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 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. is ....

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 ca ....
