SUPPORT. A FEW FLURRIES ARRIVING NORTH OF THE CITY. AS EXPECTED FOR US THIS AFTERNOON, THIS IS GENERALLY LIGHT, BUT SOME FLAKES MAY ACTUALLY MAKE IT TO THE GROUND HERE IN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF ORANGE COUNTY, THIS IS HEADING TOWARDS VENANGO AND NORTHERN BUTLER AS WELL. THIS SHOULD EXIT OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AND AGAIN, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION AS THIS PASSES. BUT RIGHT ON TRACK WITH THAT FLURRY CHANCE NORTH OF PITTSBURGH 36 TODAY, 40 TOMORROW. IT’S AN IMPACT DAY. WE WILL ALL START WITH WET SNOWFLAKES. MOST OF US TRANSITION TO RAIN AND THEN BACK TO SNOW IN THE EVENING HOURS, AND THAT SETS THE STAGE FOR COLDER TEMPERATURES ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS WE STRUGGLE TO FREEZING. SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS GET THROUGH LIKELY LATE ON SATURDAY 31. THEN THAT PLUNGES US INTO THIS ARCTIC BLAST. 23 ON SUNDAY FOR A HIGH 22 ON YOUR STEELERS. MONDAY 29 NEXT TUESDAY WITH LOWS IN THE TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS MONDAY MORNING, SOME VERY COLD AIR ARRIVES AS WE GET INTO THE BACK PART OF THE WEEKEND, BUT WE HAVE TO GET THROUGH TOMORROW FIRST.

TOMORROW OUR WET SNOWFLAKES ARRIVE ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AS WE GET TOWARDS THE END OF THE MORNING COMMUTE, WARMER AIR BEGINS ARRIVING FROM THE SOUTH. THAT TRANSITIONS MOST OF US TO RAIN DROPS, ESPECIALLY BY THE TIME WE GET TO LUNCH. AND THEN AS WE GET TOWARDS THE EVENING COMMUTE, COLDER AIR WRAPS BACK AROUND. WE WILL TRANSITION EVERYTHING BACK TO SNOWFLAKES AS OUR WEDNESDAY COMES TO AN END. FOR MOST OF US, WE’RE NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATION. MAYBE A DUSTING. HOWEVER, ALONG THE I-80 CORRIDOR, 2 TO 4IN ARE POSSIBLE. THAT’S WHERE OUR WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT, SO KEEP THAT IN MIND IF YOU’RE TRAVELING ALONG THE I-80 CORRIDOR. EVERYWHERE ELSE THOUGH, IT IS CLOUDY FOR US THIS AFTERNOON ON ACTION CAM 25 IS THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE AT PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL, BUT IT FEELS LIKE IT IS 14 DEGREES OUTSIDE. THE WIND STAYS UP, SO OUR FEELS LIKE TEMPERATURE REMAINS BELOW THE AIR TEMPERATURE THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY. TODAY BE ABOUT 8 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW. THAT WILL BREAK FREEZING LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. THEN TOMORROW IS OUR IMPACT
