Up to 3" of heavy rain on Saturday

[Music] and now the 22 News Storm Team forecast time now 6:43 on this Friday morning starting off with the beautiful looking Sky out there over the Connecticut River looking towards Springfield this camera here is in West Springfield but really really nice start to the day today is going to be perfectly fine but you know what they say about a red sky in the morning right Sailors take warning we got that storm on the way for later tonight into the day tomorrow we got a flood watch that is not now from the National Weather Service here for haming County uh from 8:00 tomorrow morning until 8:00 in the morning on Sunday National Weather servic is still talking about extending this of course into Hampshire and friendley County likely later this morning but for right now this is just for hamon County again for the day tomorrow we are all under a winter weather advisory though until noon tomorrow this is for later tonight into tomorrow because we are likely going to start with some uh winter mixes some snow and ice later tonight into tomorrow morning before we see that rain uh take over tomorrow afternoon so Westfield right now the sky looking very nice a clear morning really not much to worry about as we start off this Friday got that wind out of the Northwest right now 9 mph Springfield 8 mph in Westfield winds are going to stay fairly light through much of the morning into the afternoon so that's some good news temperatures currently in the teens and 20s up and down the valley were 19 and ammer 24 in uh Southampton 26 is the temperature in Southwick and as we go throughout the day these temperatures are going to be staying in the 20s through much of the morning and then getting into the 30s and 40s heading into the afternoon the good news is no wind chill to worry about for today with that calm breeze so it'll feel uh more comfortable than it has been the last few days because we're not going to be seeing much wind but increasing clouds will take over during the afternoon and that is the top of the 20day storm team forecast Focus going into tonight winry mix develops after 1 p.m. so if you do have any uh evening plans you're heading out to dinner starting off your weekend you know Friday evening it looks fine but then going into tomorrow morning we got that mix in the morning changing the heavy rain during the afternoon we could see 1 to 3 Ines of rain during the daytime tomorrow and some spots could see a little more than that can't r at the chance for someone very localized getting 3 and 1/2 to 4 in of rain during the daytime tomorrow and that's why that National Weather Service is starting to issue those flood watches for our area so ESP live Doppler radar is very quiet right now taking a wider view here nothing to worry about across the region I mean we're talking about a storm and there's no signs of it right now we got a clear sky out there but going into tonight we're going to see the clouds build and also that snow develop so here we are the TN Storm Team skycast 7:00 here this morning not a lot going on through the morning into the afternoon by 12:00 clouds are going to start to increase out of the West and then here we are as we go into the evening 600 p.m. nice and dry again as I mentioned you have any evening plans looks perfectly fine going into the overnight though 10:00 here that wind is going to come out of the South that snow is going to move in from the south and right around midnight we could see a brief burst of some light snow before that warm air starts to take over that wind is going to come out of the South heading into tomorrow morning 6:00 a.m. here snow to the north in the blue that mixes some sleep and freezing rain in the pink here and eventually that warm air continues to take over 9:00 a.m. in the morning on Saturday it is that wintry mix of some ice across most of Western Massachusetts and then eventually by noon from Greenfield down 91 into Springfield this is all rain but you head off just to the West into the birk shears that pink shading it is uh still holding on to that wintry mix and then even the birk shears go over to just rain heading into tomorrow afternoon tomorrow evening 600 p.m. here it is raining for everyone could be hotter to heavy at times and then tomorrow night around 900 p.m. cold air filters back in as the storm pushes to the Northwest that wind comes or excuse me Northeast that wind comes out of the Northwest and we change over to a little bit of some snow and mix again tomorrow night before it's gone on Sunday so it'll last from later tonight into the day tomorrow but Sunday looks perfectly dry in terms of any snow a coating the 2 in looks likely for most of us but a lot of this will be washed away by tomorrow morning with that mix and some rain best chance of any wet accumulation is along the Vermont state line and into the burar especially Northern burshire County in terms of the ice accumulation though do expect a light accumulation for a lot of us not expecting much around the Greater Springfield area but the best chance of seeing up to a tenth of an inch of course is the higher terrain of the Burk sheares there uh especially in Western Hampshire Western frin County for late tonight into tomorrow either way rain is going to be the dominant precipitation with this uh most of us if everyone gets over 2 in of rain you can see 2 to 3 Ines of rain heading towards around 10 p.m. tomorrow night this model goes out to and there could be some spots that get a little more again I can't rule out the chance for maybe 3 and 1 half 4 Ines of rain in a few spots that's why the National Weather Service again is starting to put up those uh flood watches heading into tomorrow so 40 to 44 out there today mix of sunning clouds perfectly fine throughout the daytime going through tonight the clouds are going to increase and we do see that mix develop late after 1 p.m. going towards midnight and for the rest of the TN new Storm Team 7-day forecast tomorrow a mix in the morning changing to Heavy Rain into the afternoon temperatures in the 40s Sunday Monday Tuesday look quiet and then we do have that chance for some more rain towards the end of the 7-day forecast for Wednesday and Thursday want to stay update latest forecast you can do so by getting the free twin news mobile app
