Western PA: Colder again, more light snow on Friday
Friday is the first of three Impact Days. Another bitter blast is in the works over the weekend.
YORK. 516 RIGHT NOW WE ARE DEALING WITH ANOTHER ROUND OF SOME COLD AIR. YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE ABOUT 10 TO 15 DEGREES COLDER THAN WHAT YOU WOKE UP TO YESTERDAY MORNING. WE WILL HAVE SOME CLEARING SKIES ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THOSE CLOUDS BREAK UP A LITTLE BIT. STAYING CHILLY ON THURSDAY. MOSTLY CLOUDY BY THE LATE MORNING AFTERNOON, THEN AN IMPACT DAY ON FRIDAY. WILL BE WATCHING ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOW SHOWERS. STICK AROUND. JUST ABOUT ONE MINUTE. I’LL BE TIMING OUT HOW MUCH YOU CAN EXPECT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH, 17 FEELS LIKE IT IS FOR THOSE. WINDS ARE OUT OF THE NORTH NORTHWEST ABOUT 13MPH. BEAUTIFUL SKYLINE HERE OF OUR CITY, AND YOU CAN SEE THOSE CLOUDS AROUND. FEELS LIKE IT’S FOUR RIGHT NOW IN BUTLER, SIX IN NEW CASTLE, TEN IN WASHINGTON, 15 IN GREENSBURG AND NINE INTO INDIANA. SO OVERALL, IT IS A COLD START. WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER COLD DAY ON THURSDAY, WARMING UP NEAR 30 ON FRIDAY, BUT IT COMES WITH SOME SNOW SHOWERS RIGHT NOW. LOOKS TO BE LATE MORNING IN THE AFTERNOON, THEN ANOTHER BLAST OF SOME ARCTIC AIR. HIGHS ONLY REACHING NEAR 15 AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY, BUT CHECK THIS OUT NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. A LITTLE BIT OF IMPROVEMENT AS WE CLIMB ABOVE FREEZING AND INTO THE UPPER 30S. RIGHT NOW THOUGH, AGAIN, THINGS ARE RELATIVELY QUIET. WE HAVE THAT PESKY CLOUD COVER. STILL A FEW FLURRIES TRYING TO HANG ON, LINGERING, ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW INTO WESTMORELAND AND FAYETTE COUNTY. BUT LET’S TIME OUT OUR FRIDAY. THIS IS 130 IN THE MORNING. MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES RIGHT NOW. LOOKS GOOD FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE, SO THIS HAS SLOWED DOWN A LITTLE BIT FROM THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. BUT BY LATE MORNING AFTERNOON, WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE THESE SNOW SHOWERS COMING. WE’RE NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF ACCUMULATION, BUT AGAIN, WE GET THAT FRESH COATING, THAT LIGHT DUSTING UP TO AN INCH AND THEN LOW VISIBILITY THAT COULD WREAK HAVOC AS WE GET INTO THE EVENING. AS KIDS ARE COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL, AS YOU’RE COMING HOME FROM WORK. SO IT COULD GET A LITTLE TRICKY, WE’LL SEE A LITTLE LULL IN THE ACTIVITY AROUND A LOT OF THE AREA AROUND SEVEN 8:00, BUT STILL EXPECTING MORE SNOW AS WE GET INTO EARLY SATURDAY BEFORE YOU WAKE UP. SO AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY BY 630, I THINK MOST OF US HAVE A QUICK INCH, INCH AND A HALF ON THE GROUND. THEN WE COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH. SO IN TOTAL, MOST OF US WILL SEE AROUND 1 TO 3IN HIGHER ELEVATIONS, ESPECIALLY IN SOMERSET AND GARRETT COUNTY COULD SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE. THERE’S YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS FOUR FORECAST. WE’LL GET THROUGH THE SNOW. THEN WE GOT THAT ARCTIC AIR THAT SETTLES IN FOR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, MAKING BOTH DAYS IMPACT DAYS, SUNSHINE FOR MONDAY INTO THE MID 20S AND SLOWLY CLIMBING BACK UP. IT’S NICE TO SEE TEMPERATURES ABOVE T
