Cold temperatures arrive in time for Thanksgiving festivities in Western Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

Cold temperatures arrive Wednesday PM and Thanksgiving Day<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNOW AT 719, AS WE LOOK INTO THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY, THINGS ARE GOING TO GET PRETTY CHILLY. YEAH, WE\u2019RE GOING TO GO FROM UMBRELLAS AND RAIN JACKETS TO WINTER JACKETS AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WEEK. YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUDS THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. JUST A FEW SHOWERS IN THE AREA. MOST OF IT HAS MOVED OFF TO THE EAST AT THIS TIME, BUT WE\u2019LL STILL HAVE A FEW ISOLATED SHOWERS OR SPRINKLES AS WE HEAD OVERNIGHT. A LITTLE WIDER VIEW FOR YOU HERE YOU CAN SEE THE BULK OF THAT RAIN MOVING UP AND INTO NEW YORK AND THE NORTHEAST. JUST SOME SCATTERED LIGHT SHOWERS, SOME LINGERING SHOWERS THAT WILL BE WITH US AS WE GO OVERNIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW MORNING. SO NEXT 24 HOURS. THIS IS THE BIG DIFFERENCE. WE\u2019LL HAVE TEMPERATURES IN THE 50S UNTIL ABOUT 11:00, AND THEN TEMPERATURES WILL REALLY FALL OFF DOWN TO 37 BY 5:00, 34 BY 8 P.M. SO WE\u2019RE GOING TO DROP ABOUT 20 DEGREES IN A QUICK PERIOD OF TIME. AS YOU CAN SEE. MAY SEE A LITTLE BIT OF SUNSHINE AS WE GET LATER IN THE DAY TOMORROW. SO HIGH TEMPERATURE 57 DEGREES TOMORROW. BUT THAT HAPPENS AS WE GET INTO THE MORNING HOURS ABOUT 11 A.M. AND FROM THERE TEMPERATURES JUST DROPPED DOWN TO 28 DEGREES IN THE MORNING ON THURSDAY FOR THANKSGIVING AND 35 FOR A HIGH, 26 FOR YOUR LOW ON BLACK FRIDAY. SO IF YOU\u2019RE GOING OUT SHOPPING EARLY, THAT\u2019S WHAT YOU\u2019RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH. 33 FOR YOUR HIGH AND THEN 23 ON SATURDAY FOR THE PITT GAME. HIGH TEMPERATURE 36 DEGREES. AS WE GO INTO THE END OF THE WEEKEND, 45 DEGREES FOR YOUR HIGH TEMPERATURE, AND WE WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF SOME LIGHT SNOW CHANGING OVER TO SOME SHOWERS, SOME RAIN SHOWERS. ALL OF IT WILL BE LIGHT AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY ON SUNDAY. AS FAR AS PRECIPITATION, IT WILL BE RAIN UP UNTIL ABOUT NOONTIME. AFTER THAT, THE COLD AIR MOVES IN AND ANYTHING FROM THAT TIME ON IS FLURRIES OR LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS. AS YOU CAN SEE AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY. ALSO, THE CASE ON THURSDAY, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE LAKE EFFECT SNOW NORTH OF I-80 CLOSE TO THE LAKE, THEY COULD SEE 6 TO 12IN OF SNOW IN THOSE AREAS. PENNSYLVANIA AND UP INTO WESTERN NEW YORK AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE WE WILL BE IN THE CLOUDS ON THURSDAY AS WE GO INTO FRIDAY. A COUPLE OF THOSE SNOWFLAKES CAN MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT FURTHER DOWN TO THE SOUTH. BUT ALL IN ALL, MOST LOCATIONS WILL REMAIN DRY WITH MAYBE A FLURRY OR TWO FLYING AROUND. THIS IS NOON ON FRIDAY, SO AS FAR AS HOW MUCH SNOW YOU CAN EXPECT UP IN FRANKLIN, MAYBE UP TO AROUND THREE INCHES OF SNOW AS YOU GET CLOSER TO THE LAKE, THAT\u2019S WHERE YOU\u2019LL GET A BETTER CHANCE OF SEEIN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
