Western Pennsylvania school closings and delays on Tuesday
AND IT IS AN IMPACT DAY FOR US TODAY. WE ARE DEALING WITH SOME ISOLATED SNOW SQUALLS STILL AROUND THE REGION. THEN WE’RE GOING INTO A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY ON TUESDAY. AS THOSE TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO PLUMMET. IT’S NOT JUST THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURE, IT’S THE WIND CHILL. WE WILL BE UNDER A COLD WEATHER ADVISORY STARTING AT 9:00 TONIGHT UNTIL NOON ON TUESDAY, SO GUSTY WINDS AND DROPPING TEMPERATURES IN THE NAME OF THE GAME THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. PLUS WE’RE DEALING WITH SOME OF THE SNOW AGAIN. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THESE BANDS CONTINUING TO PUSH THROUGH. WE STILL HAVE A SNOW SQUALL WARNING HERE JUST ABOUT TO EXPIRE, BUT OVERALL STILL SOME OF THAT SNOW DROPPING THE VISIBILITY AND AGAIN BRINGING THE SNOW LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS. WE’RE LOOKING AROUND A HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH. SOME SPOTS WHERE UP TO TWO ALREADY INTO BUTLER AND BEAVER. BUT THIS WILL MOVE ON OUT AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. BY 4:00 5:00 THINGS QUIET DOWN WITH THE SNOW, AND THEN WE’RE GOING TO BE USHERING IN ALL OF THAT COLD AIR. IT’S ALREADY COLD OUTSIDE, BUT IT’S JUST GOING TO GET WORSE TONIGHT. NOW, I WANTED TO SHOW YOU TWO CAMERAS BECAUSE THE SNOW SQUALL IS MOVING THROUGH. THAT’S THE PARKWAY EAST. THIS IS ABOVE OUR STATION HERE IN WILKINSBURG. YOU CAN SEE HOW THE VISIBILITY DROPS. THEN AS WE GO INTO THE CITY, NO SNOW SQUALLS MOVING THROUGH. THE VISIBILITY IS GREAT. SO THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE. THESE BANDS CAN REALLY WREAK HAVOC IF YOU GET STUCK IN ONE DRIVING. IT CAN BE A LITTLE TRICKY FOR YOU. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. WE WILL HAVE THESE SNOW SQUALLS THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. THAT ARCTIC SNAP STICKS AROUND. WE’LL HAVE SOME SUNSHINE TOMORROW. WE ALREADY HAD A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE TODAY, BUT IT’S NOT GOING TO HELP US OUT TOO MUCH. TEMPERATURES DO REBOUND BACK INTO THE 30S ON WEDNESDAY, BUT ANOTHER WAVE OF ENERGY, ANOTHER FRONT COMING IN. IT’S A QUICK CLIPPER. IT’S GOING TO BRING ANOTHER POTENTIALLY HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH AROUND THE AREA. SO NOT A LOT OF SNOW LOOKS TO BE IN THE AFTERNOON. THAT COLD SNAP THOUGH BACK IN AS WE GET INTO THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. SO WINDS RIGHT NOW LOOK AT NEWCASTLE 40MPH, GREENSBURG REPORTING 44 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS. SO A LOT OF US 25 TO NOW UP TO 45MPH. AND IT IS KNOCKING THOSE WIND CHILLS DOWN ALREADY SINGLE DIGITS AND LOW TEENS. THESE NUMBERS WILL CONTINUE TO DROP BY THE TIME WE GET INTO THE EVENING. THIS IS AROUND 8:00. WE’LL HAVE SUBZERO WIND CHILLS ABOUT 3 TO 6 BELOW. EVEN SOME SPOTS NEAR TEN. THEY DROP MORE FOR TOMORROW MORNING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. COLD AIR IN PLACE 10 TO 20 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. WAKING UP TOMORROW MORNING. THEY REALLY DON’T IMPROVE TOO MUCH THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS AS WE GET AROUND LUNCHTIME WE’LL STILL BE SUB SUBZERO. EXCUSE ME, BUT ABOUT 2 TO 8 DEGREES BELOW. SO AGAIN, IT’S GOING TO GET VERY COLD. WE SHOULD GET OUT OF SUBZERO WIND CHILLS AS WE GET INTO THE EVENING. ON OUR TUESDAY. THERE’S YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS FOUR MORE FORECAST IMPACT DAY TO SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY. WITH ALL OF THIS COLD AIR IN PLACE, A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK FROM THE COLD AIR, BUT THEN SOME MORE LIGHT SNOW COMES IN WEDNESDAY. WE WILL SEE A BREAK. CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. THERE’S A CHANCE FOR A FEW SNOWFLAKES SUNDAY. RIGHT NOW, MAYBE 1 TO 2IN, BUT IT’S GOING TO
