-- -- -- blizzard is being forecast in the northeast tomorrow.

With a brainstorm the west today it looks like the countries -- for travel nightmare this weekend.

Just how bad is it gonna be let's head to the weather center -- boxes Rick Wright -- Rick I don't -- this weekend.

Yeah no we're no where do you go Saturday morning loans you know you don't -- yeah.

-- kids birthday party we gonna -- was only now alrighty so I would say go tonight.

Dollar or go old Sunday.

And that's probably gonna be -- yeah.

It's unfortunate you -- really rough all day tomorrow.

And that residual that'll be ending Saturday morning but you're still gonna have a lot of you know that pile up that you'd have to deal with so.

Anybody that's not assume is that anybody travelling -- around the northeast after the next couple of days -- that you storms.

This is the moisture source down here across the south and in the cold air the northern jet stream is up here across the Great Lakes.

These two storms tomorrow afternoon.

Merge off the coast and that's what's gonna create this big nor'easter that's going to be the historic for a few people certainly.

Right now we have blizzard watches in effect and receive this -- it's part of Long Island.

Snowfall totals probably not as extreme on the eastern end of Long Island but very very windy with this.

And much of Connecticut Rhode Island and eastern parts of Massachusetts doing -- -- -- -- time's going to be up to around sixty maybe seventy miles an hour.

And that's gonna -- a lot of water in towards Boston Harbor so pretty significant coastal flooding there take a look what happens this is -- future radar here in this is why.

We're gonna have a hard time forecasting for New York City with this one because it's right on that rain snow line.

And the temperature may be being a little bit too warm tomorrow to accumulate any of this note during the daytime tomorrow night that changes.

And -- cross over to -- seventy NBC it's -- -- Boston the entire storm is snow in Boston that's where the accumulation there is gonna be so great but New York City.

At least according to a lot of the models were looking up probably not getting below freezing until later tomorrow night.

And that's when the snow will significantly accumulate however.

We are off by had maybe thirty or forty miles one direction to the other and it could be snow for a longer period in that would increase -- snowfall totals.

But a lot of wind with this and then take a look at what at least for now we're forecasting for snowfall totals.

A -- maybe two to three feet just to the west of Boston Worcester hills up around Nashua and Manchester, New Hampshire.

But a big swath of this getting well over a foot foot and a half of snow and say six to twelve right here towards -- -- just got to tell yet.

I think it's a little colder that number could be higher I don't think it will happen but we have a lot of uncertainty at least for New York City.

On the -- not uncertain about Boston but York city little bit -- -- stuff.

We need some global warming hearing your heart I think you'd let us army in particular that we will get out not to be selfish or anything not that it's all about me but it's I girl's birthday party that's it get that RIA -- -- -- -- Jack -- -- regarding -- my.
