Rain Settles into Western PA this Week<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSPRINGTIME VARIETY PACK OF WEATHER. LET\u2019S CHECK IN WITH ASHLEY DOUGHERTY. IT IS JUST, YOU KNOW, WE\u2019RE COLD. WE GOT SOME SNOWFLAKES TODAY. THEN WE GOT AN IMPACT DAY TOMORROW WITH POTENTIAL FOR SOME FREEZING RAIN HITTING NOT JUST EAST, BUT ALSO IN PARTS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY BEFORE CHANGING OVER TO HEAVIER RAIN. WE DO WARM UP THOUGH. UPPER 60S, LOW 70S TO FINISH OUT THE WEEK, BUT IT IS GOING TO BE A SOGGY WEEK AHEAD. THIS IS GOING UNTIL SATURDAY AT 11:00. YOU CAN SEE THE RANGE HERE ABOUT ONE TO ALMOST FOUR INCHES OF RAINFALL THROUGHOUT THE WEEK. THAT IS A LOT OF RAIN. NOW IT DOES LOOK LIKE WEDNESDAY WILL BE OUR BEST DAY RIGHT NOW TO SEE SOME DRIER CONDITIONS, BUT IT IS SHORT LIVED. LET\u2019S GET TO IT. RIGHT NOW WE\u2019RE SEEING SOME LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS HITTING SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FAYETTE AND GREENE DOWN INTO MORGANTOWN. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED, BUT I DO THINK THIS IS GOING TO TICK UP INTO PARTS OF WASHINGTON, EVEN NEAR THE ELIZABETH AREA. THE THING IS, WE HAVE HIGH PRESSURE SITTING JUST NORTH OF US. THAT\u2019S WHAT\u2019S KEEPING A LOT OF THIS SOUTH AND ALSO DRYING UP, PUSHING IN SOME OF THAT DRIER AIR. BUT I DO THINK SOME OF THAT MOISTURE IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND MOVE IN. AND YOU CAN SEE THIS HERE ON FUTURECAST STILL AROUND LUNCHTIME, COULD SEE THAT LIGHT SNOW, BUT CLOUDS WILL BE BREAKING AND WE WILL SEE SOME SUNSHINE THE FURTHER NORTH YOU LIVE, INCLUDING BUTLER, LAWRENCE CLARION ARMSTRONG, YOU HAVE MORE SUNSHINE. HERE\u2019S WHERE IT CHANGES A BIT GETTING INTO TOMORROW IMPACT DAY WHERE THAT PINK IS. THAT\u2019S AN INDICATOR OF A WINTRY MIX. SOME FREEZING RAIN. NOW IT\u2019S ALL GOING TO BE DEPENDENT ON THE GROUND. TEMPERATURE IS WARM ENOUGH IN THE SKY TO FALL AS RAIN, BUT OVERALL, WE DO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME OF THAT FREEZING RAIN BEFORE THE GROUND STARTS TO WARM UP. SO THIS COULD HIT PARTS OF ALLEGHENY. THE BULK OF IT WILL BE EAST IN THOSE HIGHER ELEVATIONS, BUT WE\u2019RE TALKING SIDEWALKS. EVEN YOUR HANDRAILS GETTING DOWN, WALKING DOWN SOME STEPS, ELEVATED SURFACES COULD BE DEALING WITH SOME ICY CONDITIONS. JUST BE PREPARED FOR THAT BY SEVEN 8:00. IT DOES LOOK LIKE WE WILL WARM UP IN A LITTLE BIT LIGHTER WITH THE RAIN. IT RAMPS UP THOUGH AS WE GET AFTER LUNCHTIME. ONE 2:00 AND WE WILL HAVE POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN FOR THAT EVENING COMMUTE. KEEPING OUR IMPACT DAY THROUGH THE DAY. ON TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY RIGHT NOW DOES LOOK LIKE WE COULD SEE A BREAK FROM THOSE RAIN SHOWERS. WILL BE FINE TUNING IT BEFORE WE SEE MORE RAIN, POTENTIALLY SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS HEADING INTO THURSDAY. IT\u2019S A LOT TO TAKE IN. WE DO HAVE THAT WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY, THOUGH FOR THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS STARTING AT 10:00 TONIGHT UNTIL 10 A.M. TUESDAY. THAT IS BECAUSE THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME VERY LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATION. WE ARE WARMING UP, SO WE\u2019RE TALKING UPPER 60S, LOW 70S. WE\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP OUR EYE ON THURSDAY WITH THE CHANCE FOR SOME OF THOSE THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. IT\u2019S PRETTY QUIET DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH CLOUDS HAVE ALREADY STARTED TO MOVE IN, BUT COLD 19 RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH, 21 WAKING UP IN WASHINGTON AND GREENSBURG, 17 IN BUTLER, 18. KITTANNING, 16, IN NEWCASTLE WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOW 40S AGAIN. WE SHOULD SEE SOME SUNSHINE AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON, BUT ALSO SOME OF THOSE SNOWFLAKES SOUTH OF THE CITY. THIS IS A VERY SPRING LIKE FORECAST. THAT MIX TO RAIN MAKES OUR IMPACT DAY ON TUESDAY. SMALL CHANCE FOR A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS WEDNESDAY. I THINK IT\u2019S GOING TO BE THE DRIEST DAY OF THE WEEK AS WE LOOK THURSDAY FRIDAY, EVEN EXTENDING INTO SAT\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
