Speaker 5: May get less speed and less visibility on outbreaks that

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 5: start somewhere else. Because many new threats are first spotted

71
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 5: overseas then shared through WHO networks. That early information is

72
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,359

Speaker 3: If you look at the radar this morning, this winter storm,

78
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: which is going to be a monster, really hasn't even

79
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,200

00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: skies will see some sunshine to start, clouds on the

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: increase only about freezing today overnight. Tonight is when this

87
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: front is going to move through, and by tomorrow morning

88
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: under crystal clear skies. It will be dangerously cold outside

89
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: in fact daytime his this entire weekend not expected to

90
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: get out of the middle teens. But the showstopper is

91
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 3: coming up on Sunday, with the first flakes of snow

92
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,080

Speaker 3: weekend long and beyond during the cleanup as well. I'll

97
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: keep in mind that there is a widespread expectation of

98
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: anywhere between one and two feet of snow, and right

99
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: now the maps indicate that the Jackpot area could very

100
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: well be right here in Boston and surrounding community. So

109
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: As you've been mentioned in snow starts as early as

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 6: Sunday morning. Definitely that early afternoon. I just got off

111
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 6: the phone with Bryce Williams. He's ready for Sunday. Meteorologists

112

Speaker 6: with the National Weather.

113
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 7: Service the heaviest period of snow is most likely right

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 7: now to be generally Sunday late afternoon or evening through

115
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 7: the first half of the overnight hour, so generally maybe

116
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 7: five or six pm through midnight or so, when we

117
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 7: could see snowfall rates as heavy as an inch an

118
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 7: hour or so. But by the time all of a

119
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 7: sudden done Right now, it's still a little bit early,

120
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 7: but we're initially looking at anywhere from twelve to eighteen

121
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 7: inches of snow possible for the city.

122
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 6: Wow, what could this storm shift at all right now?

123
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 7: That doesn't look likely.

124
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: Did you feel a little hopeful in my voice?

125
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 5: I did.

126
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: N'm thinking, you know, because you go into these things

127
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: and you think it's never going to be quite as

128
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 3: bad as you expect. But then again, this one doesn't

129
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 3: seem like it's gonna let up. All hands on deck
