Heavy Snow to Hit Eastern China.
CHURCH: Here's an amazing story. In the United States, a boy who was reported missing in Alabama 13 years ago has been found safe. Julian Hernandez was 5 years old when he disappeared in 2002. His mother had legal custody of him, but police believe his father abducted him and took him to live in Ohio, where they were reportedly using different names. Julian, who is now 18, was found when he was applying to college. His father, Bobby Hernandez, is now under arrest and facing charges in the abduction. A shift to weather now. Heavy snow is expected to hit eastern China. We have Derek Van Dam to talk to us about that. How bad is it likely to be?</s>DEREK VAN DAM, AMS METEOROLOGIST: It's interesting, because it's in a part of the world that doesn't normally see a lot of snow, especially this time of the year. Beijing has just been awarded the Winter Olympics in 2022, and their average snowfall in that area is literally just one centimeter. So we could get ten centimeters in the mountains just outside Beijing, the capital of China there. Rosemary, take a look at this. Some graphics to show you just to give you a setup on what the weather is doing across eastern China. And it has been rather rough and it's all thanks to an area of low pressure that continues to bring heavy rainfall, especially just south of Beijing. I want to show you some of the footage coming out of that region, because the snowflakes are massive. We have very large snow. This is often indicative of when temperatures are hovering slightly above freezing. This ac again, it's this low pressure system and enough cold air to transition that precipitation over to the frozen variety. So if you're located in Beijing, expect kind of some unpleasant weather going forward over the next 24 to 48 hours. The bulk of the snow fall, 10 to 25 sent meters of the snow, with temperatures around freezing in Beijing. I don't expect much of it to stick on the ground. I'm going to transition quickly to a phenomena that just occurred. We've just had the northern lights that have created some impressive scenes. That moved across the earth's atmosphere and creating scenes like this. In Idaho, this is a time lapse of beautiful northern lights and you see that shading of red? Extremely rare as the electrons are excited by oxygen in the atmosphere.</s>CHURCH: Wow. That is something.</s>VAN DAM: Beautiful.</s>CHURCH: Derek Van Dam, many thanks to you. Appreciate it. Thank you for watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Rosemary Church. Do stay with us.
