PM flakes north, more snow/rain mid-week

Western PA: PM flakes north, more snow/rain mid-week

The mid-week system will have a wider reach across all of western PA.

IT’S DOWN IN BALTIMORE OF COURSE THIS AFTERNOON. AND WE’RE GOING TO KEEP THAT WINTER WEATHER GOING HERE FOR THIS FIRST WEEK OF DECEMBER. TEMPERATURES SEASONABLY CHILLY WILL BE ANYWHERE FROM THE UPPER 20S. YES, ALL DAY IN THE 20S. COMING UP TOMORROW ON OUR WAY TO ABOUT 40 DEGREES ON WEDNESDAY. THAT IS A DAY TO KEEP AN EYE ON, AS WE WILL SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SOME WET SNOW CHANGING OVER TO RAIN. IT DOES LOOK LIKE MOST OF WEDNESDAY’S SYSTEM IS GOING TO COME AS RAIN BEFORE EVENTUALLY SOME COLDER AIR AND SNOWFLAKES CATCH UP ON THE TAIL END, BUT NOT MUCH TO SEE OUTSIDE THE CLOUDS. AND ALSO, OF COURSE, THE PRETTY LIGHTS OVER THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH WITH ACTION CAM HERE AS YOU’RE WAKING UP ON A SUNDAY MORNING, DOESN’T FEEL TOO BAD AS TEMPERATURES ARE RIGHT AROUND 30 IN MOST NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE 30S. WE WILL STAY AS WE GET ANOTHER DOSE OF GRAY SKIES. CHILLY TEMPERATURES 36. OUR FORECAST HIGH FOR PITTSBURGH. WE WILL SEE A FEW FLURRIES SHOWING UP NORTH OF TOWN AS WE WORK THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. I’LL PINPOINT THAT HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. HERE’S THAT COLDER DAY MONDAY, BUT DOES COME WITH SOME SUNSHINE. A HIGH OF ONLY 27 BACK INTO THE 30S, EVEN PUSHING TOWARDS 40 BY WEDNESDAY. AGAIN, THAT’S THE DAY THAT WE’RE KIND OF CIRCLING IN YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST FOR EVENTUALLY, EVEN MORE COLD AIR RUSHES IN AS WE’RE JUST STUCK IN THAT PATTERN HERE FOR THESE EARLY TO EVEN MID DAYS OF DECEMBER. AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE ALL THE CLOUDS ON FUTURECAST. THAT’S HOW MOST OF THE DAY IS GOING TO PLAY OUT. REALLY NO ISSUES. IF YOU’RE OFF TO CHURCH THIS MORNING, MAYBE GETTING EARLY RUN AT THE GROCERY STORE OR JUST RUNNING AROUND HERE ON A SUNDAY BEFORE THE STEELERS GAME, 1:00 AS EARLY AS NOON. FOR THOSE OF YOU IN VENANGO AND MERCER COUNTIES, WE WILL SEE SOME OF THOSE SNOWFLAKES SHOWING UP. THIS IS A CLIPPER SYSTEM. TYPICALLY THEY’RE FAST MOVING, DON’T REALLY DO A WHOLE LOT WHEN IT COMES TO ACCUMULATION. THAT CERTAINLY IS GOING TO BE THE CASE AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON. COULD SEE SOME OF THAT SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY SHOWING UP FOR AREAS LIKE CLARION, KITTANNING, CERTAINLY SOUTHERN PARTS OF BUTLER COUNTY, EVEN EXTENDING BACK TOWARDS BEAVER AS YOU APPROACH DINNER TIME. BUT THEN EVERYTHING JUST BEGINS TO FALL APART AS IT MOVES INTO ALLEGHENY COUNTY. THOSE AREAS FARTHER TO THE SOUTH. SO FOR THE MOST PART, WE ARE GOING TO MISS OUT ON THIS ROUND OF SNOW. BUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ACTIVITY IS COMING IN TOWARDS THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK. LATE TONIGHT THOSE CLOUDS WILL BREAK. STARTING OFF VERY COLD IN THE MORNING AND OF COURSE STAYING IN THE 20S AS WE GO THROUGH YOUR MONDAY. BUT AT LEAST WE GET THAT DOSE OF SUNSHINE AS WE KICK OFF A BRAND NEW WEEK. LET’S FAST FORWARD INTO WEDNESDAY AGAIN. THE DAY THAT WE’VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, AS WE COULD SEE A BRIEF PERIOD OF SOME WET SNOWFLAKES IN THE MORNING BEFORE WE CHANGE OVER TO ALL RAIN. MY BIG CONCERN IS WHAT COMES IN TOWARDS THE EVENING DRIVE, AS WE WILL SEE SOME COLDER AIR SHOWING UP THAT COULD LEAD TO THE CHANGEOVER BACK TO SNOW. THE EXACT TIMING OF THAT IS STILL A QUESTION MARK, SO WE’LL KEEP THE IMPACT DAY AWAY, BUT STILL AGAIN COULD SEE SOME IMPACTS LATER ON THE EVENING. ON WEDNESDAYS, THAT CHILLIER AIR SHOWS BACK UP FROM 36 TODAY TO JUST 27 ON MONDAY, AGAIN WORKING TOWARDS THE LOWER 40S WITH A MESSIER AND WETTER SETUP ON WEDNESDAY. THE REST OF YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST FLURRIES WILL LINGER ON THURSDAY, WITH A HIGH OF 35. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO SLIDE. IN FACT, WE’RE ONLY GOING TO BE IN THE 20S AS WE APPROACH NEXT WEEKEND, BUT WE SHOULD BE DRY AS WE LOOK TOWARDS THE FIRST NIGHT OF HANUKKAH NEXT SUNDAY. LOTS OF RUNNING AROUND TOO, AS THE LATER HOLIDAY SEASON REALLY RAMPS UP HERE AS WELL. ABSOLUTELY. HONESTLY, I WAS THINKING JUST BECAUSE OF ALL THE SNOW WE HAD THIS PAST TUESDAY. DEFINITELY A NICE LITTLE SWITCH UP, NICE LITTLE BREAK TO GIVE US. OF COURSE, COLD WEATHER IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE, BUT I’LL DEFINITELY TAKE IT. YEAH, THE SNOW THAT WE SEE THIS
