Light snow will impact the Thursday morning commute. Amounts will be lower than Tuesday’s storm.
Unlike Tuesday’s storm, fresh snow accumulations should be less than one inch around western Pennsylvania. Clouds will break and it will turn breezy during the afternoon.
Impact Day #2: Record lows possible Friday morning
A secondary front will reinforce the cold air. It will be a bitterly cold start to Friday with temperatures in the teens to single digits. Fortunately, the wind will be light so there will not be an added chill factor. Pittsburgh could tie or break our daily record low of 12° set in 1976 on Friday. Temperatures will only return to near freezing Friday afternoon.
