Western PA: Passing flakes before colder air returns<\/p>\n

Morning lows in the single digits and highs in the 20s are ahead for the middle of the week.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBUSINESSES IN THE DAIRY INDUSTRY. THE CHANGE JUST MADE SENSE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN WELL OVER A WEEK. WE DON\u2019T HAVE AN IMPACT DAY OR AN ALERT DAY, AND IN FACT, TODAY IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE EASIER TO HANDLE AS TEMPERATURES WILL BE CLIMBING CLOSE TO 30 DEGREES ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA MAY EVEN CRACK FREEZING AS WE LOOK CLOSER TO THE WEST VIRGINIA BORDER. SPEAKING OF SOUTH, YOU HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO SEE SOME PASSING SNOW SHOWERS TODAY SHOULD BE GENERALLY LIGHT, BUT COULD IMPACT THE EVENING COMMUTE. WE WILL SEE MORE SNOW AREAWIDE BY FRIDAY. THAT LEADS US TO YET ANOTHER FRIGID WEEKEND. CHECK OUT THESE HIGH TEMPERATURES. WANT TO BRACE YOURSELF FOR THIS? ONLY THE TEENS ON SATURDAY A HIGH OF 20 ON SUNDAY, BUT FORTUNATELY IT LOOKS LIKE THAT ARCTIC BURST IS JUST GOING TO BE A BRIEF ONE AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND. EVEN OUR STARTING POINT THIS MORNING, WAY WARMER THAN YESTERDAY. STILL HOLDING ON TO THE TEENS IN FRANKLIN AND DUBOIS, BUT EVERYBODY ELSE LOW AND MID 20S HAVEN\u2019T SAID THAT MUCH RECENTLY. IT\u2019S 24 IN PITTSBURGH. ALSO FOR WASHINGTON. A PAIR OF TWOS AS YOU GET THE DAY STARTED IN KITTANNING 25 DOWN TOWARDS MORGANTOWN. HERE\u2019S A QUICK LOOK AT YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST SOME PASSING FLURRIES ALREADY SEEING SOME ACTION HERE THIS MORNING. MORE SNOW WILL DEVELOP AS THE DAY GOES ON, ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE CITY, BUT NOT AS COLD 30 FOR A HIGH. WE WILL BACKPEDAL INTO THE 20S WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY, THEN IMPACT DAYS RETURN ON FRIDAY AS WE\u2019LL SEE SOME AREA WIDE LIGHT SNOW AGAIN. THAT DOES LEAD TO A FRIGID WEEKEND, BUT TEMPERATURES WILL BE BOUNCING BACK PRETTY QUICKLY INTO NEXT WEEK AGAIN. ALREADY SEEING SOME BURSTS OF SNOW, IT IS A LITTLE BIT STEADIER AS LOOK AROUND CRANBERRY, SO IMPACTING PARTS OF 279 THE TURNPIKE. ALSO 228 THAT EXTENDS TOWARDS ROUTE EIGHT AND NORTHERN ALLEGHENY COUNTY. EVEN WORKING ALONG THE TURNPIKE AND ALSO ROUTE 19 AND 910. AS WE WIDEN OUT THE VIEW COMING OUT OF ELIZABETH AND FORD TOWNSHIPS, WORKING TOWARDS NORTH HUNTINGDON, GREENSBURG, RIGHT ALONG ROUTE 30, EVEN TOWARDS LATROBE, YOU COULD ALSO SEE SOME STEADIER SNOW, AND THAT COULD PRODUCE A QUICK LITTLE COATING, MAKE THINGS A LITTLE SLIPPERY, ESPECIALLY IF ROADS WEREN\u2019T TREATED FOR THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. BUT FOR THE MOST PART, WE\u2019RE JUST SEEING THOSE FLURRIES FLYING ACROSS THE REGION AS WE GO THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND WE WILL SEE SOME IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR TEMPERATURES ON OUR WAY CLOSE TO 30, ESPECIALLY TOWARDS AFTER SCHOOL TIME. WE\u2019LL SEE SOME OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS STARTING TO DEVELOP. BULK OF THE ACTION, THOUGH, IS GOING TO SKIRT US JUST TO THE SOUTH INTO PARTS OF WEST VIRGINIA. THAT WRAPS UP PRETTY QUICKLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. AS WE FAST FORWARD INTO THE MORNING TOMORROW, SINGLE DIGIT TEMPERATURES ARE BACK. WE\u2019RE ONLY GOING TO BE IN THE 20S FOR HIGHS TOMORROW AND THURSDAY, BUT THEN THINGS WILL SLOWLY IMPROVE BY THE TIME WE HIT FRIDAY, MORE SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THE IMPACT DAY. THIS IS A CLIPPER SYSTEM, SO WILL BE IN AND OUT PRETTY QUICKLY. COULD PRODUCE 1 TO 3IN ACROSS THE AREA. SO WE\u2019RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT TREND AND PINPOINT WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS COULD BE A LITTLE BIT ON THE HIGHER SIDE. AGAIN, IN YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST, THAT FRIGID FEELING IS BACK OVER THE WEEKEND.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
