YEAR. HIGHEST WIND GUSTS ACROSS THE AREA EARLIER THIS MORNING WHEN THE FRONT MOVED THROUGH, AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE NUMBERS. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. WASHINGTON HAD A 52 MILE AN HOUR GUST OFFICIALLY AT THE AIRPORT. THE GUST WAS 48. LATROBE HAD A 46 MILE AN HOUR GUST IN NEW CASTLE. THE GUST WAS 37. STILL PRETTY BRISK AND BLUSTERY OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. SUSTAINED WINDS BETWEEN ABOUT 15 AND 25 MILES AN HOUR. STILL SOME GUSTS OF 3035, EVEN 40 ON THE HOUR WILL BE AN OPPORTUNITY THIS AFTERNOON. THE HIGHEST WIND GUSTS WILL BE OBSERVED IN THE LOWER HIGHLANDS, WHERE THERE’S STILL A WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. HIGHEST ELEVATIONS OF FAYETTE’S WESTMORELAND, INDIANA COUNTY. ANOTHER ROUND OF A FEW FLURRIES GOING TO KICK THROUGH THE AREA AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE AFTERNOON. LITTLE, IF ANYTHING, IS EXPECTED TO ACCUMULATE, AND TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY START TO LEVEL OFF IN THE MID 20S AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. QUICK TURNAROUND THOUGH, TOMORROW UP TO 45 DEGREES AND THEN WE’LL COOL OFF INTO THE MID AND UPPER 30S THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK. BUT GENERALLY A QUIET WEEKEND AND A WARMER CHRISTMAS WEEK IS AHEAD RIGHT NOW. MID 20S IN BUTLER, KITTANNING AT 28, STILL 30 IN GREENSBURG AND 31 IN UNIONTOWN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AGAIN, TEMPERATURES WILL PROBABLY START TO HOLD STEADY IN THE MID 20S. WINDS WILL STAY GUSTY UNTIL SUNSET, AND THEN THEY WILL SETTLE DOWN OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AS TEMPERATURES COME DOWN TOWARD THE LOW 20S TO START THE DAY TOMORROW. AND THEN FROM THERE, WE’LL BUILD THOSE NUMBERS TOWARD THE LOW AND MID 40S FOR HIGHS TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO CHILLY IN THE MORNING. THEY’LL BE A LITTLE SUNSHINE, BUT GENERALLY MOSTLY CLOUDY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BUT AGAIN TOWARD THE MID 40S TOMORROW AFTERNOON. SO WE’RE GOING TO FLIP THE SCRIPT ONCE AGAIN. 730 THIS EVENING. ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME PARTIAL CLEARING ACROSS THE AREA. A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE TOMORROW MORNING. OTHERWISE MOSTLY CLOUDY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND SHOULD PROVIDE SOME BIGGER, LONGER, MORE SUSTAINED BREAKS OF SUNSHINE ON SUNDAY. BUT AGAIN, COOLER TEMPERATURES AS SUNDAY’S NUMBERS WILL STAY IN THE UPPER 30S. MONDAY 36 AND THEN LOOKING AHEAD TO CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY. LOOK AT THE NUMBERS. CLIMBING 46 ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND RIGHT NOW, CHRISTMAS DAY COULD BE A FEW MORNING RAIN SHOWERS, BUT TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE IN THE MID 50S. AND I THINK BY MY SCORECARD I CANNOT REMEMBER BING CROSBY SAYING HE WAS DREAMING OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS. I THINK IT WAS A WHITE CHRISTMAS. I THINK YOU’RE RIGHT. YEAH. IT’S NOT WHITE IS NOT HAPPENING
