<\/p>\nSchool closings in Western Pennsylvania for Friday<\/p>\n
Cold weather advisory issued; many areas still digging out from snowstorm<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYOU MAY WANT TO BUMP THE THERMOSTAT UP A COUPLE DEGREES BEFORE YOU HEAD TO BED TONIGHT. THE COLDEST AIR SO FAR AS WE LOOK TO BREAK RECORDS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY MORNING. BOTH DAYS NOW, OUR SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAYS AS WE\u2019RE WATCHING FOR THAT RECORD COLD. AND WE\u2019LL STAY ON IMPACT DAY, THEN SUNDAY AND MONDAY AS WE\u2019LL SEE COLD STARTS. BUT WE ARE STARTING TO HEAD IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON SUNDAY AND WE\u2019LL FINALLY BE HEADING THERE AS WE HEAD INTO OUR MONDAY AS WELL. COLD WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR EVER. ALMOST EVERYBODY TONIGHT ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, VENANGO COUNTY, AS WELL AS GREENE IN THE LOWLANDS OF FAYETTE ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE ADVISORY. THIS IS NOT FOR WIND. THIS IS BECAUSE AIR TEMPERATURES WILL BE THAT COLD AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NIGHT. TONIGHT. WE\u2019RE STILL HOLDING INTO THE TEENS AT THIS HOUR ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. WE\u2019VE ALREADY STARTED OUR DROP. AS WE GET CLOSER TO AND PAST SUNSET, AND OUR TEMPERATURES WILL PLUMMET TONIGHT, THERE IS STILL A BIT OF A BREEZE, SO WIND CHILLS ARE SITTING GENERALLY IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AT THIS HOUR. AGAIN, THESE WILL DROP WITH THE AIR TEMPERATURE TONIGHT. WIND WILL GENERALLY BE LIGHT, SO WIND CHILL IS NOT A BIG CONCERN FOR US. TOMORROW MORNING THERE ARE A COUPLE OF FLAKES AND FLURRIES FLYING ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THIS IS DUE TO HOW COLD IT IS FOR SQUEEZING OUT ANY MOISTURE THAT\u2019S THERE AND PRODUCING A COUPLE SNOWFLAKES. REALLY NOTHING MORE THAN A DUSTING TO WORRY ABOUT. BUT DON\u2019T BE SURPRISED IF YOU SEE A SNOWFLAKE. IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING OUT THIS EVENING, IT\u2019S VERY COLD THE NEXT TWO MORNINGS, SEVEN BELOW ON FRIDAY MORNING. THAT WOULD BREAK OUR RECORD OF FIVE BELOW. THAT WAS SET IN 2019. NINE BELOW ON SATURDAY. THAT ALSO SETS A RECORD THAT WAS MINUS FIVE. ALSO BACK IN 2019. WILL STRUGGLE TO 12 ON SATURDAY. SATURDAY IS THE COLDEST DAY OF THE STRETCH. WE\u2019RE STARTING AT ZERO ON SUNDAY BEFORE WE\u2019RE BACK TO 18, A START AT TWO ON MONDAY AS KIDS LIKELY TRY TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL BEFORE WE MAKE IT TO 24. SO AN IMPACT DAY SUNDAY AND MONDAY, MOSTLY FOR THE MORNINGS. BOTH DAYS, ESPECIALLY ON MONDAY. THE AFTERNOON WILL BE NICE AS WE FELL IN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF. TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. TEMPERATURES CONTINUE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. BY FRIDAY WE MAKE IT BACK TO 30 DEGREES FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME. IT FEELS LIKE LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE INTO THE TEENS, SO THIS IS STILL SEASONABLY COLD, BUT NOT AS COLD AS WE HAVE BEEN. THAT\u2019S MORE OF WHAT WE EXPECT FOR A COLD SNAP IN EARLY FEBRUARY. SO AGAIN, OUR TEMPERATURES CONTINUE DROPPING OFF. AGAIN, THIS IS AIR TEMPERATURE, NOT WINDCHILL. TOMORROW MORNING. NEGATIVE ACROSS THE BOARD OVER WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA WILL STRUGGLE BACK AS WE HEAD TOWARDS NOON BY ABOUT TEN DEGREES OR SO. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON INTO THE LOWER TEENS, AND THEN SATURDAY MORNING AGAIN IS VERY COLD SPOTS NORTH OF THE CITY, ESPECIALLY ON SATURDAY, COULD START IN THE NEGATIVE TEENS. SO AGAIN, VERY COLD AIR, LET ALONE ANY WIND IN THE WINDCHILL ON SATURDAY. AGAIN COULD BE A LITTLE WORSE. SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS ON ACTION CAM. THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING. 14 IS THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE. CURRENT WIND CHILL IS ZERO. IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING OUT AT ANY POINT TOMORROW MORNING, MAKE SURE YOU BUNDLE UP. THE AIR TEMPE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
