School closings in Western Pennsylvania for Thursday
Cold weather advisory issued; many areas still digging out from snowstorm
OF OUR RIVERS, IT IS SO ICY OUT THERE. YEAH. AND OUR ICE WILL KEEP THICKENING UP AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AS OUR TEMPERATURES STAY ON THE COLD SIDE. THERE’S NO BIG WARMING TREND ANYTIME SOON. WE WILL TRY TO GET CLOSER TO NORMAL AS WE START FEBRUARY. TOMORROW WE’LL GO BACK ON IMPACT DAY AS WELL AS WE’LL BE WATCHING FOR SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILLS ON BOTH SIDES OF ZERO, STARTING IN THE MORNING AND CONTINUING INTO THE DAY. THEN SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. WE COULD SET RECORD LOWS BOTH MORNINGS. SATURDAY MORNING COULD BE THE COLDEST WE’VE BEEN IN JUST OVER A YEAR, AND THE COLDEST OF THIS STRETCH. BEFORE WE START HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AGAIN TONIGHT, A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY IS IN EFFECT FOR ALL OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THIS WILL LAST UNTIL 10:00 TOMORROW MORNING. AGAIN, IF YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE EARLY, WIND CHILLS WILL BE SITTING GENERALLY BETWEEN ABOUT TEN AND 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. STARTING THE DAY, AIR TEMPERATURES HAVE REALLY STRUGGLED TO WARM TODAY, EVEN THOUGH WE’VE GOTTEN SOME SUNSHINE WITH THE COLD AIR IN PLACE AND FRESH SNOWPACK STILL, THAT REALLY MAKES IT STRUGGLE FOR TEMPERATURES TO TRY AND WARM. WE’RE SITTING IN THE TEENS PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD. FRANKLIN’S AT NINE, DUBOIS IS AT EIGHT, SOMERSET ALSO AT NINE. WE FACTOR THE WIND AND IT FEELS LIKE IT’S ZERO AT THE AIRPORT. THREE BELOW IN GREENSBURG, FIVE BELOW IN FRANKLIN, ONE BELOW IN KITTANNING. FEELS LIKE IT’S ALSO ONE BELOW IN WASHINGTON. AND AGAIN, THESE WIND CHILLS AGAIN WILL GET WORSE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. BY THE TIME WE GET TO TOMORROW MORNING, EXPECT WIND CHILLS GENERALLY BETWEEN ABOUT EIGHT AND 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. SO ANOTHER COLD START TO THE DAY. IF KIDS ARE HEADING BACK TOMORROW, MAKE SURE THEY ARE BUNDLED UP AND WIND CHILLS SLOWLY IMPROVE. JUST LIKE TODAY. BACK TOWARDS ZERO. BY THIS TIME TOMORROW. AND THEN WE GET EVEN COLDER AS WE HEAD INTO FRIDAY. WILL GO ON SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY AS WIND CHILLS WILL AGAIN SIT BETWEEN ABOUT TEN AND 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. AIR TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO BE VERY COLD ON FRIDAY MORNING, SO WE’LL START AT TWO TOMORROW. WE’LL FINISH AT 15, THEN FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNINGS AGAIN. RECORD LOWS AT SEVEN BELOW AND EIGHT BELOW. THE RECORDS. BOTH MORNINGS ARE FIVE BELOW. WE SHOULD BREAK THOSE. WE’LL STRUGGLE BACK TO 12. WIND CHILLS SATURDAY MORNING COULD GET TO 20 TO 25 BELOW ZERO WITH HOW COLD IT’S GOING TO BE. WE’LL START AT ZERO ON SUNDAY. WE’LL GO AN IMPACT DAY ONE MORE TIME BACK TO 17, AND THEN FINALLY A MORE SEASONABLY COLD STRETCH. STILL COLD, BUT CLOSER TO WHERE WE SHOULD BE. 24 MONDAY 28 TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES NEAR 30 WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. RIGHT NOW IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WE BREAK FREEZING, BUT 29 IS GOING TO FEEL LIKE A HEAT WAVE COMPARED TO WHERE WE HAVE BEEN. SO IT IS STILL COLD AND IT IS ICY OUT THERE ON ACTION. CAM 12 IS THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE. WINDS ARE SOUTHWEST AT NINE. IF YOU ARE HEADING OUT AGAIN, WIND CHILLS WILL DROP THROUGH THE NIGHT. MAKE SURE YOU’RE BUNDLED UP.
