Impact weekend for Pittsburgh: More rain then winter returns
Colder air, gusty winds, and light snow are ahead for Sunday, another Impact Day.
BACK. 518 IS OUR TIME ON THIS SATURDAY MORNING. IT’S AN IMPACT DAY, SO LET’S GET YOU ANOTHER CHECK OF YOUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. NOT ONLY IS TODAY AN IMPACT DAY, BUT ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW AS WELL. WE ARE GOING TO SEE A BIT OF A ROLLER COASTER RIDE AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. THE THOUGHT WAS GREAT WHILE WE HAD IT, BUT WE ARE HEADING BACK TO JANUARY LIKE CONDITIONS TODAY. MORE RAIN CHANCES ARE IN STORE GOING TO BE A BIT BETTER THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY, ESPECIALLY AS WE WORK INTO THE LATTER STAGE OF YOUR AFTERNOON. THEN, AS WE LOOK AHEAD TO SUNDAY. COLD, WINDY. ALSO SOME SNOW COMING INTO THE PICTURE AS WELL. YESTERDAY TEMPERATURES WERE WELL INTO THE 60S. FELT GREAT. BY TOMORROW AFTERNOON IT’S ONLY GOING TO FEEL LIKE THE TEENS I KNOW. I HATE TO BE THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO BE SETTLING INTO MORE OF A JANUARY LIKE PATTERN THAT WILL EXTEND INTO NEXT WEEK, BUT AT LEAST WE’RE DRY FOR OUR STEELERS MONDAY. I’LL BE BREAKING DOWN THAT FORECAST HERE IN JUST A MOMENT. PLENTY OF CLOUDS ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AS WE KICK OFF ONE OF TWO IMPACT DAYS THIS WEEKEND. RAIN IS STILL WELL TO OUR SOUTH INTO WEST VIRGINIA, BUT THAT WILL ARRIVE AS WE GET A LITTLE DEEPER INTO THIS MORNING. FOR SOME OF YOU NEAR THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER, MAYBE CLOSER TO 9:00. SOME OF THAT RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES, BUT YOU’LL SEE ON FUTURECAST AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS IMPACT DAY TOMORROW. ALSO NOW AN IMPACT DAY. AND THAT’S NOT ONLY THE COLD IN THE WIND, BUT ALSO SOME SNOW CHANCES. NOT EXPECTING A WHOLE LOT OF ACCUMULATION. BUT AS WE’VE SEEN, SOME OF THOSE SNOW SQUALLS ENOUGH TO REALLY DROP VISIBILITY, THAT COULD BE A BIG ISSUE. AND THEN YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST WE ARE SETTLING BACK INTO THE 40S, EVEN THE 20S AND 30S FOR HIGH TEMPERATURES. WE SLIDE INTO NEXT WEEK. RIGHT NOW, THE WIND IS CALMING DOWN, MAKING IT FEEL LIKE 32, EVEN THOUGH OUR TEMPERATURES AT 37 UNDER THOSE MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, ALL IS DRY, BUT NOT FOR LONG. HERE’S WE ADVANCE THROUGH THE MORNING ON FUTURECAST. YOU CAN SEE AFTER ABOUT NINE 10:00 SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS STARTING TO SHOW UP IN AND AROUND THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. EVEN AROUND WASHINGTON. GREENSBURG TO STEADIER RAIN IS STILL SOUTH OF I-70, BUT THAT WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD IN TAKING OVER AS WE APPROACH THE AFTERNOON. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME PLANS THIS AFTERNOON, YOU WILL NEED THE RAIN GEAR. IT’S GOING TO BE MILD TEMPERATURES STILL AROUND 50, BUT PLENTY WET AS WE WORK THROUGH THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. EVEN INTO THIS EVENING, PROBABLY AFTER 9:00 TONIGHT, WE’LL START TO SEE THAT RAIN COMING TO AN END. THAT’S GOING TO BE WITH THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL DROP THOSE TEMPERATURES IN A HURRY. NUMBERS, IN FACT, WILL BE FALLING IF NOT HOLDING STEADY THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY. ON SUNDAY. WINDS ARE GOING TO PICK UP. COULD BE TALKING ABOUT SOME GUSTS BETWEEN 25 AND 40MPH. SO THAT’S GOING TO BLOW A LOT OF THE SNOW AROUND. IT STARTS TO DEVELOP INTO THE AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE SOME SCATTERED ACTIVITY AROUND 4:00 SUNDAY. SO SOMETHING TO BE MINDFUL OF AS WE ARE WRAPPING UP THIS WEEKEND IN TERMS OF ACCUMULATIONS TOMORROW. AGAIN, NOT EXPECTING A WHOLE LOT. MOST OF US ARE GOING TO STAY UNDER AN INCH EXCEPT FOR THOSE TYPICAL ZONES UP ALONG I-80, ALSO INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. BUT AGAIN, MORE IT’S GOING TO BE THE IMPACT ON VISIBILITY AS SNOW FALLS ALSO GETS SWIRLED AROUND BY THOSE GUSTY WINDS. FAST FORWARDING INTO YOUR STEELERS MONDAY, WE’RE GOING TO BRING IN SOME SUNSHINE. CERTAINLY A LITTLE BIT OF A CHILLY ONE OF COURSE. KICK OFF AGAINST THE TEXANS AT 815 RIGHT HERE ON WTAE CHANNEL 4 WILL BE 32. LIGHT BREEZE WILL LAST THROUGHOUT THE GAME. TEMPERATURES GET A LITTLE BIT OF A BOOST ON TUESDAY. WATCHING A SYSTEM WEDNESDAY THAT COULD BRING MOSTLY RAIN, POSSIBLY A LITTLE SNOW ON THE. AT THE ONSET. WE’LL CONTINUE TO TALK MORE ABOUT THAT THEN GETS COLDER SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND. CERTAINLY LOOKS MORE JANUARY LIKE TOWARDS THE BACK HALF OF YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST. YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU SAID JANUARY WOULD BE BACK. I DIDN’T WANT TO BELIEVE IT, BUT I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN SUCH A TEASE THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. IT WAS SO NICE TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY IT, AND HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY MADE THE MOST OF IT. IT WAS SO NICE YESTERDAY. NO JACKET. I RAN OUTSIDE IN A T SHIRT TO GRAB SOMETHING FROM THE CAR. I WAS LIKE, I COULD GET USED TO THIS. I KNOW WE’RE STILL MONTHS AWAY FR
