SPORADIC IS. WE\u2019RE WAKING UP THIS MONDAY MORNING ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS PRIMARILY RESERVED FOR THE RIDGES, WHERE WE STILL HAVE SOME OF THOSE ONGOING WINTER WEATHER ALERTS. BUT FOR EVERYBODY, WE\u2019RE GOING TO FEEL A BIT OF A BRISK BREEZE INTO THE AFTERNOON, JUST ADDING TO THE CHILL. GENERALLY SPEAKING, FLURRIES ACROSS ALLEGHENY COUNTY, YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF THAT JUST NORTH AND EAST OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. ALSO, AS WE LOOK FROM MCKEESPORT WORKING INTO PARTS OF WESTERN WESTMORELAND COUNTY, MEANWHILE, FROM SOUTHERN BEAVER COUNTY, BACK THROUGH ALL OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, BASICALLY STILL SOME DECENT SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS RIGHT NOW. HEAVIEST SNOW RIGHT NOW BETWEEN CALIFORNIA AND CONNELLSVILLE. THAT EXTENDS TOWARDS UNIONTOWN ON SOUTH AND AGAIN ACROSS FAYETTE COUNTY. YOU DO HAVE THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OR WINTER STORM WARNING, DEPENDING ON ELEVATION. MEANWHILE, DECENT GOOD SWIPE OF SOME LIGHT SNOW. ALSO WORKING PAST NEWCASTLE BUTLER TOWARDS THE MARS AREA AND EVEN INTO SOME OF THE NORTHERN SPOTS OF WESTMORELAND COUNTY. SO HERE\u2019S HOW IT STANDS RIGHT NOW. SO ALL OF OUR WINTER WEATHER ALERTS LASTING THROUGH 1 A.M. ON TUESDAY. SO STILL MOST OF THE DAY TODAY, WE COULD SEE THOSE TRAVEL IMPACTS, ESPECIALLY AS YOU\u2019RE WORKING OVER THE RIDGES. WE\u2019LL RESERVE THE MAJORITY OF ANY ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION TODAY THROUGH ABOUT 1:00. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE MAJORITY OF OUR SNOW SHOWER ACTIVITY TODAY. MAYBE JUST A SCATTERED COATING IN SOME SPOTS. BUT WATCH AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. STILL SOME STEADIER SNOW POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS, WHERE THOSE TOTALS COULD JUMP CLOSER TO AN INCH. THAT\u2019S EXTRA ACCUMULATION AROUND UNIONTOWN MUCH HIGHER, ESPECIALLY AS YOU GET CLOSER TO SOMERSET. STILL, FIVE MORE INCHES COULD BE COMING YOUR WAY AS YOU WORK THROUGH YOUR MONDAY. HERE\u2019S A SNEAK PREVIEW FOR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST. WE\u2019LL STAY CHILLY AS WE GO INTO THE DAY TOMORROW, BUT WE\u2019RE QUIET AND THEN BACK TO BACK SYSTEMS COMING IN TUESDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY AND AGAIN ON THURSDAY. THE TRACKS ARE SOME BIG QUESTION MARKS HERE. LOOKS LIKE THE FIRST SYSTEM WILL BE PRIMARILY SNOW. POTENTIALLY SOME ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION. THURSDAY. WE\u2019LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND. SO FOR ANYBODY THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE MAKING THEIR WAY SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH OR EAST INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS, YOU\u2019RE STILL GOING TO BE NAVIGATING SOME OF THOSE SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING. A LOT OF THAT ACTIVITY WILL BE BREAKING UP AREA WIDE BY ABOUT 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON. BUT AGAIN, ACTIVITY HANGS ON THROUGH THE LAURELS WITH THAT ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION LATER ON TONIGHT, EVERYBODY WILL BE QUIET UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES. WE\u2019LL SNEAK IN SOME SUNSHINE DURING THE AFTERNOON TUESDAY. THEN HERE COMES OUR FIRST SYSTEM WITH SNOW ARRIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING, WE MAY HAVE TO ADD AN IMPACT DAY JUST WITH THE SNOW THAT WILL BE FALLING DURING THE FIRST HALF OF WEDNESDAY. A LOT OF THIS ACTIVITY THEN WILL BE FIZZLING OUT AS A CHILLY RAIN SHOWERS THURSDAY. BIT OF A DIFFERENT STORY. THERE IS A BIT OF A SPREAD ON WHERE THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY WILL BE SETTING UP, AS IT COULD BE STRETCHING ANYWHERE FROM STAYING WELL TO OUR SOUTH AND WE MISS OUT ON THAT STORM. OR COULD BE BRINGING A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A MIX, ESPECIALLY FOR AREAS NORTH OF PITTSBURGH. WE\u2019LL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT. TEMPERATURES GET A BOOST INTO THE WEEKEND.
