Record cold is possible Friday and Saturday mornings. Friday morning is likely the colder day of the two.
At this time, a weekend coastal storm looks to stay far enough east that the Pittsburgh area won’t see any impacts. We will continue to monitor the track. Temperatures will remain below freezing for early February. But instead of the teens, highs will be in the 20s.
