SCIUTTO: And breaking news, the first major winter storm of the year is hitting New England right now. Not only is it bringing snow and rain but also dangerously strong winds. Let's get the latest from CNN Meteorologist Tom Sater. So Tom, as you look at this, who is in the bull's-eye tonight?</s>TOM SATER, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Well, good question Jim, I think there are several bull's-eyes. It depends if you're sitting at home in Buffalo, lake-effect snow machines in full force. If you're travelling or trying to fly out of Newark, you've got an hour and a half delay. JFK, up to two hour delays. Boston's looking at it an inch, an hour and a half, as well. There is some good news, though, as we're look at rain ending in New York City, still raining all on Long Island. Rain changes to snow in Western Connecticut. Central Western Mass, blinding snowfall, blizzard conditions. But it's raining in Boston. I think Boston could see the rain change over to light snow and maybe get a dusting to an inch. But for New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, they could be buried with maybe a foot of snow across the entire region. So warnings are in effect. Just mainly snow for interior sections. The coast is going to see mainly rain. We're even going to see snow down the spine of the Appalachians. So when it comes to these two storm systems, they're going to join hands. And this is when it really starts to kick in. So the winds will die down right now, gusting at 50 miles per hour at Boston. But the heavier snowfall stays just inland, which is some good news and not blanketing everyone.</s>SCIUTTO: Tom Sater, we'll be watching. Thanks very much. And coming up, the latest on this afternoon's major breaking story. President Obama ordering sanctions and expelling Russians from the U.S. as retaliation for the meddling in the Presidential Election. Also, months after his trail went cold, the U.S. now has information about the recent movements of ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
