<\/p>\nI-70 westbound closed after crash in Washington County; two people flown to hospital<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJUST CUT THIS OFF COMPLETELY SO WE WON\u2019T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT AT ALL AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. MAYBE A FEW CLOUDS AROUND EARLY, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, MOSTLY SUNNY TO PARTLY CLOUDY AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. SATURDAY WE\u2019RE GOING TO BE IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE AS WELL. PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, AND THEN WE GET TO SUNDAY. HERE COMES THAT RAIN STARTING TO MOVE UP, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT UP TOWARDS PITTSBURGH AND REALLY PITTSBURGH DOWN TO THE SOUTH. YOU HAVE YOUR BEST SHOT AT SEEING SOME RAIN SHOWERS AROUND OVER IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE SOME SNOW OVER TOWARDS SOMERSET COUNTY AS WELL AS THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. THIS IS A MASSIVE STORM. WE\u2019RE JUST BASICALLY ON THAT EXTREME NORTHERN FRINGE AS THIS IS MOVING THROUGH THE AREA. SO IF THIS MOVES EVEN A LITTLE BIT NORTH OR A LITTLE BIT SOUTH, WE\u2019LL SEE MORE OR LESS RAIN. AND FOR THE SOUTH YOU ARE BASICALLY YOU\u2019LL SEE MORE RAIN SHOWERS. LOOK AT THIS THING EXTENDS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO FLORIDA. 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE TOMORROW THE COLD ONE, THE LAST 135 DEGREES FO\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
