Fatal collision under investigation in New Sewickley Township, Beaver County
SHOVELING TONIGHT? I DON’T THINK TOO LATE TONIGHT TO DEAL WITH SHOVELING. ALTHOUGH OUR NEXT ROUND THAT REALLY IMPACTS ALL OF US WILL HAPPEN A LITTLE BIT LATER ON THIS EVENING. SO IF YOU’RE HEADING OUT THIS EVENING, YOU’LL BE OUT FOR SEVERAL HOURS. YOU’LL LIKELY BE OUT AS THAT WAVE PASSES. THEN IT’S COLD THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OUR IMPACT DAYS WILL REMAIN FOR COLD WILL BE SUBZERO ALL DAY ON SATURDAY. A COLD START AND FINISH SUNDAY. AND THEN WE FINALLY BEGIN REBOUNDING AS WE HEAD INTO THE DAY ON MONDAY, WE STILL HAVE OUR WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UP FOR THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. THIS GOES UNTIL 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING. WE ALSO HAVE WINTER STORM WARNINGS FOR EASTERN PRESTON AND GARRETT COUNTIES AS WELL. WEATHER HAS BEEN SNOWFLAKES. THESE HAVE GENERALLY BEEN A LITTLE LIGHTER THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS. THE FIRST MAIN WAVE IS GONE. ONE BATCH OF FLURRIES, A FEW PORTIONS OF BUTLER COUNTY NOW STRETCHING DOWN TOWARDS THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. ANOTHER CLUSTER DOWN IN PORTIONS OF GREENE AND FAYETTE COUNTY. OTHERWISE, AGAIN, WE’RE QUIET FOR NOW. WE’LL WATCH OUR NEXT ROUND, ARRIVING AFTER ABOUT 7 OR 8:00. HERE. WE’LL PAUSE FUTURECAST AT 9:00 AS IT’S DRAPED RIGHT ACROSS FROM WASHINGTON TO PITTSBURGH, UP TOWARDS TARENTUM, KITTANNING ALL THE WAY TO CLARION. THIS WILL CONTINUE DIVING SOUTHEASTWARD. THIS IS WITH THE COLD FRONT WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME GUSTY WINDS AND BRIEFLY REDUCED VISIBILITIES. AS THIS LINE PASSES. ONCE THIS CLEARS, OUR TEMPERATURES PLUMMET AND OUTSIDE OF A LEFTOVER FLURRY, WE SHOULD PRETTY MUCH BE DONE WITH OUR SNOW. AT THAT POINT, IT WILL BE A QUIETER AS FAR AS SNOW IS CONCERNED AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. BY THE TIME WE’RE DONE EXPECTING ABOUT AN INCH TO THREE INCHES ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, NEW REPORT JUST CAME IN FROM SAINT CLAIR REPORTING AN INCH OF SNOW. SO FAR, 2 TO 5IN ARE EXPECTED INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. AND AGAIN, THIS IS BY THE TIME WE ARE COMPLETELY DONE, ABOUT MIDNIGHT OR SO TONIGHT. THEN TEMPERATURES PLUMMET. WE START AT FOUR TOMORROW WE’LL FINISH AT 14. WE START AT TWO BELOW. ON SUNDAY WE’LL FINISH AT 18. LOTS OF SUNSHINE. MONDAY. A COLD START FOR THE KIDS. NOT A BAD FINISH AT 28. THERE THEY ARE. 40S FOR US. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY 42. TUESDAY 40 ON WEDNESDAY. WE’LL WATCH FOR RAIN CHANCE. AND THEN WE’RE SEASONABLY COOL AS WE HEAD TOWARDS VALENTINE’S DAY. BUT NOTICE WE ARE STAYING ABOVE FREEZING AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE BACK PART OF NEXT WEEK, SO WE JUST HAVE TO GET THROUGH THE COLD THIS WEEKEND. EXTREME COLD WARNING STILL UP NORTH AND EAST OF PITTSBURGH. COLD WEATHER ADVISORY FOR EVERYBODY ELSE, IT’S GOING TO BE DANGEROUSLY COLD OUT THE DOOR TOMORROW MORNING. BY THE TIME WE GET TO 9:00, WINDCHILLS WILL STILL BE IN THE NEGATIVE TEENS AND THEY’LL STAY IN THE NEGATIVE TEENS.
