Western Pennsylvania school closings announced for Tuesday
Extreme cold warning issued as many areas still digging out from snowstorm
THIS POINT. THAT OR SNOWMOBILE. WE ARE ON SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAYS TODAY AND TOMORROW. NOW FOR THE DANGEROUS COLD AS OUR WIDESPREAD SNOW IS GONE AND WE’LL STAY ON IMPACT DAY WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY FOR THE COLD, IT LIKELY WON’T BE AS COLD, BUT OUR AIR TEMPERATURES ALONE ARE GOING TO BE COLD ENOUGH. AS WE HEAD INTO THE BACK PART OF THE WEEK. EVERYBODY IS UNDER AN EXTREME COLD WARNING. THIS GOES INTO EFFECT AT 7:00. TONIGHT LASTS UNTIL 1:00. TOMORROW’S WIND CHILLS COULD GET AS COLD AS 20 TO 30 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. SO LET’S TIME THAT OUT. WE’LL START HERE AT THE TOP OF THE HOUR. WIND CHILLS WILL STAY SINGLE DIGITS THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON. BY THIS EVENING WE WILL ALL DROP INTO SUBZERO WIND CHILLS AND WE GET WORSE AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW MORNING. BY THE TIME WE GET TO 8:00, WE’RE STILL LOOKING AT WINDCHILLS ANYWHERE BETWEEN 15 AND 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. THE BEST CHANCE OF SEEING THE EXTREME EXTREME COLD AS COLD AS 30 BELOW, WILL BE INTO THE RIDGE TOPS OF THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW WE WILL SEE SOME RELIEF, BUT IT WILL BE SLOW GOING AS WIND CHILLS CLIMB BACK TOWARDS ZERO AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY. SO WE ARE COLD ALL DAY LONG TOMORROW, AND WIND CHILLS WILL STILL STAY COLD AS WE HEAD INTO OUR WEDNESDAY MORNING, AS WELL AS OUR AIR TEMPERATURE CONTINUES, REMAINING COLD AS WE HEAD INTO THE BACK PART OF THE WEEK. SO 18 IS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE TODAY. THIS IS THE WARMEST DAY LIKELY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. LOOK AT OUR LOW TEMPERATURES ZERO ON TUESDAY, ZERO ON WEDNESDAY, ONE ON THURSDAY, AIR TEMPERATURES STAYING IN THE TEENS FOR A HIGH AS WE HEAD INTO THE REST OF THE WEEK. FRIDAY WE WILL MAKE IT ONLY TO TEN, BUT WE COULD START SUBZERO FOR AIR TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNINGS. AND THEN WE BEGIN A SLOW WARMING TREND INTO NEXT WEEK, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES CLIMBING BACK TOWARDS THE 20S AS WE HEAD INTO SUNDAY AND MONDAY, IT IS A FROZEN LOOK ON ACTION CAM. OUR RIVERS ARE FROZEN AS WELL, ESPECIALLY THE ALLEGHENY. IT IS 15 OUTSIDE WINDSOR WEST AT 14, SO IT FEELS LIKE IT IS ONE OUTSIDE. AND AGAIN, WINDCHILLS GET WORSE AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY, ESPECIAL
