Strong winds and rain as temperatures drop in Western Pennsylvania

AM showers tomorrow, then falling PM Temps

TONIGHT’S GAME BETWEEN VENEZUELA AND ITALY IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP. IT’S AN IMPACT DAY FOR US. IN TYPICAL PITTSBURGH FASHION, WE’RE GETTING ALL FOUR SEASONS. TODAY, WE’RE KICKING IT OFF WITH SOME WARMER TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS. RIGHT NOW, ABOUT A 25 TO 30 MILE PER HOUR WIND AROUND THE REGION. WE STILL HAVE THIS WIND ADVISORY IN PLACE UNTIL 11 A.M. THIS IS FOR THE ENTIRE AREA BECAUSE AS THIS COLD FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH, WE STILL COULD HAVE GUSTS UP TO 50MPH. WE CAN’T RULE THAT OUT AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING. BEAUTIFUL SHOT HERE OF OUR CITY. CLOUDS ARE STARTING TO THICKEN UP 58 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH AND ALL AROUND THE REGION. IT’S ALL GOING TO BE ABOUT THE WINDY CONDITIONS THIS MORNING. THEN DROPPING TEMPERATURES STILL BREEZY THROUGH THE DAY. WE’LL HAVE THOSE RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING OVER TO A FEW SNOWFLAKES. BUT HERE’S THE LATEST. CURRENTLY, AS THAT RAIN GETS CLOSER AND CLOSER, JUST NOW EDGING INTO BEAVER PARTS OF WASHINGTON EXTENDING UP INTO WESTERN PARTS OF LAWRENCE COUNTY. ALSO INTO MERCER. SEE SOME LINES EMBEDDED HERE? SOME HEAVIER RAIN COULD EVEN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHTNING AND A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER. THE BIG STORY, THOUGH, AS THIS FRONT MOVES THROUGH, WILL DEFINITELY BE THE GUSTY WINDS THAT WE COULD HAVE A BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY BEFORE ANOTHER WEAK DISTURBANCE OUT NEAR CHICAGO REINFORCES THAT COLD AIR AND KEEP SOME OF THOSE FLAKES IN THE FORECAST. YOU CAN SEE AS IT MOVES INTO THE STATE OF INDIANA, IT IS WEAKENING A LITTLE BIT, BUT OVERALL, WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE SOME SNOWFLAKES FLYING AROUND TO FINISH OUT THE DAY. LET’S TIME OUT HERE ON FUTURECAST. WE’RE STILL GOING TO HAVE THIS RAIN. NINE 10:00 AS KIDS ARE HEADING OUT TO THE BUS STOP. AS YOU’RE HEADING HOME, HEADING OUT TO WORK, TEMPERATURES ARE STILL VERY MILD, UPPER 50S AND LOW 60S BREAK IN THE ACTIVITY THROUGH A LOT OF THE EARLY AFTERNOON, AROUND THREE 4:00, WE’LL START TO SEE SOME OF THAT RAIN SNOW MIX AS OUR TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO DROP. SO REALLY BETWEEN 6 AND 9:00 TONIGHT COULD SEE SOME LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS, ESPECIALLY ON THE GRASSY SURFACES. KEEP IN MIND THE GROUND TEMPERATURE STILL RELATIVELY WARM. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE THAT COLD AIR IN PLACE TOMORROW MORNING. WAKING UP IN THE 20S. WIND CHILLS INTO THE TEENS. WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE THOSE PESKY FLAKES FLYING AROUND ON OUR SAINT PATRICK’S DAY. SO HERE’S HOW MUCH SNOW WE’RE LOOKING AT. THIS IS 5:00 AGAIN. START TO SEE A LIGHT DUSTING DOWN INTO FAYETTE AND GREENE COUNTY, BUT CAN’T RULE OUT UP TO AN INCH. NOW KEEP IN MIND THE GROUND IS STILL PRETTY WARM. WHERE WE’RE REALLY SEEING IT STICKING IS INTO THOSE HIGHER ELEVATIONS EAST. AND THAT IS WHERE WE DO HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN PLACE. EASTERN PORTIONS OF WESTMORELAND, FAYETTE, CAMBRIA, SOMERSET DOWN INTO GARRETT COUNTY. IT STARTS AT 5:00 TONIGHT UNTIL 5 P.M. ON TUESDAY. LOOKING AT YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS FOR MORE FORECAST, WE’RE DEFINITELY GETTING INTO THE SPRING SEASON. IT’S OFFICIALLY SPRING ON FRIDAY RIGHT NOW. DOESN’T LOOK TOO BAD. WE’
