PROBLEM AS YOU’RE CLIMBING GREEN TREE HILL. ASHLEY, YOU HAVE LOTS OF SUNSHINE OUT THERE TO KICK OFF THE MORNING, BUT ALSO THE COLD TEMPERATURES, A FROSTY COLD START FREEZE WARNING IN PLACE. WE’LL HAVE SOME SHOWERS COMING IN TOMORROW MORNING, BUT THAT’S GOING TO SET US UP FOR DRY AND WARMER CONDITIONS FOR ROUND ONE AND TWO OF THE DRAFT. WE’RE TALKING MID TO UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S TO FINISH OUT THE WEEK. BUT IT’S COLD THIS MORNING. 29 WAKING UP IN PITTSBURGH AND MONROEVILLE 24 CURRENTLY INTO KITTANNING. BUTLER AND GREENSBURG ALSO INTO WASHINGTON, WAKING UP AT 2725. NEWCASTLE. WAYNESBURG AT 23. THAT FREEZE WARNING IS FOR THE ENTIRE REGION THAT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL 9:00 THIS MORNING, BUT BREAKING DOWN THE NEXT FOUR DAYS FOR YOU WARMER THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE NEAR 66. IT IS GOING TO GET A BIT BREEZY THOUGH THROUGH THE DAY. WE’RE TALKING 20 TO 25 MILE PER HOUR WINDS, SO STILL HAVE A LITTLE CHILL TO THE AIR, BUT NOT AS BAD AS YESTERDAY. WE’LL GET THROUGH THAT RAIN EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. 70 DEGREES THOUGH AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON. UPPER 70S LOW 80S TO FINISH OUT THE WEEK. SO LOOKING GREAT FOR THE DRAFT. BUT OVERALL THIS MORNING SUN IS UP AND SHINING BRIGHTLY OVER OUR CITY THIS MORNING. AND AGAIN, SUN GLARE WILL BE AN ISSUE, BUT OVERALL IT IS A NICE DRY AND CHILLY START. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THAT RAIN COMING IN ON WEDNESDAY. THIS IS 3 A.M. WE’LL SEE THIS SLIDING THROUGH THE REGION ESPECIALLY EARLY. BY THE TIME WE GET CLOSER TO THE MORNING COMMUTE. SIX 7:00 A LOT OF THESE SHOWERS WILL BE MOVING ON OUT, CONTINUING TO PUSH SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. CLOUDS WILL BREAK. GET TO SEE A LITTLE SUNSHINE. WE’RE NOT IN THE CLEAR JUST YET. STILL COULD SEE A PASSING SHOWER AROUND 4:00 5:00. ESPECIALLY INTO WASHINGTON GREEN, WESTMORELAND AND FAYETTE COUNTY. ONCE WE GET THROUGH THAT, IT’S SMOOTH SAILING FOR US. WEDNESDAY EVENING, EXTENDING INTO THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FOR THE DRAFT. EVEN BETTER, THOSE TEMPERATURES IN THE MORNING WILL BE A BIT WARMER INTO THE UPPER 40S AND LOW TO MID 50S. DAYTIME HIGHS UPPER 70S, LOW 80S. WILL BE WATCHING SATURDAY THOUGH. RIGHT NOW THE TIMING OF THIS RAIN LOOKS TO BE LATE FRIDAY NIGHT EARLY SATURDAY. SOME LATER RUNS ARE SHOWING IT LINGERING INTO THE AFTERNOON. DOES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO STAY HERE THROUGH THE DAY. IF THAT HAPPENS, WE WILL UPGRADE SATURDAY TO AN IMPACT DAY, BUT FINGERS CROSSED IT MOVES ON OUT. JUST DEALING WITH SOME MORNING RAIN SHOWERS WILL GET DRYING OUT. EXCUSE ME ON SUNDAY. UP NEAR 70 DEGREES, STAYING UPPER 60S A
