1/26 CBS2 Monday Afternoon Weather Headlines

By Giorgio Panetta, CBS2 Chief Meteorologist/Weather Producer

Get ready everyone...

Most of us in the Tri-State are under a state of emergency due to the blizzard that is about to bear down on us. Snowfall totals are ranging from 6 inches to potentially 3 feet.

The farther east you live, the worse it is. Those living on Long Island look to have a tough go -- 2 feet or more is forecast. Some could even see 3 feet depending on how intense the snow falls.

But the storm will peak overnight tonight into the morning. By Tuesday at 11 p.m., this storm will be a memory.

Lots of alerts and warnings are in effect. See attached maps.

Please check your travel plans before heading out tonight and tomorrow. Stay safe out there. Sorry to be brief today, but I'm slammed in the CBS2 Weather Center. G
