Live in Times Square, this is Good Morning America.

Good morning America, a new cross-country storm on the move.

But we're going to begin with the first of two major storms set to sweep across the country.

Ginger standing by with the big picture for first, Mololangi starts us off in San Francisco.

Good morning, Molo.

Well, good morning, Michael.

Yeah, we are live here in San Francisco where the rain has been on and off again pretty much all morning.

You see some waves, decent size waves crashing in behind me about three, four feet tall right now,

but they are expected to get much bigger throughout the day

this is the beginning of a system that's expected to touch pretty much the entire

west coast high surf alerts are in effect from San Diego up here to

San Francisco winter weather advisoryories also in effect for the

Sierra Nevada Mountains, LA Mountains, Ventura County Mountains, some spots could see up to

a foot of snow this week, so we are expecting a pretty wet week out here in the

West Coast Michael. Oh yeah thank you so much for that molar let's bring in

ginger with the track and timing of the cross-country storm which could bring

heavy snow to parts of the East Coast for the first time and a

long time. Good morning. It has been nearly two years Michael. Good morning to

you since we have had an inch or more of snow in New York City consecutive snow droughts for

Philadelphia and Baltimore also record-breaking these lengths of times that we've

gone without snow could change very quickly by the weekend so let's go this is the

storm that does it.
