WANT TO DO IT INSIDE? MORNING. TOMORROW MORNING WILL BE A LITTLE Rough. Depending on where you are. TOMORROW IS THE DAY OF THE SEVERE WEATHER WARNING. We await the potential for a wintry mix, particularly the onset of freezing rain. AND THEN WE’LL ALL COVER TO RAIN IN THE DAY. Depending on where you are, we will decide how early this happens. CITY SOUTH VERY FAST. NORTH AND EAST. It could take a while as we are gradually warming up and the most likely location for ice accumulation is in the Laurel Highlands. LET’S GO THROUGH TOMORROW. From around 7:00 a.m. it starts to rain from the west. TEMPERATURES ARE IMPORTANT TOMORROW. IF IT IS FREEZING OR ABOVE IT WILL RAIN. IF WE ARE FREEZING OR BELOW OR BELOW IT COULD BE FREEZING RAIN OR SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN IS WHAT WE DON’T WANT. THIS CAUSES ICE. AND AS YOU KNOW, NOTHING REALLY WORKS ON ICE. This could be very treacherous for us. Therefore it will start to rain again in the morning hours. Temperatures will be crucial, likely south of the city. When we see freezing rain, it happens very quickly and then we immediately transition to rain. THERE SHOULD BE NO MINOR PROBLEMS NORTH OF CITY AND IN THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS, BUT HERE WE WILL LIKELY START WITH FREEZING RAIN AND/OR SNOW AND LAST A FEW HOURS. THERE WE HAVE ARRIVED OUR WEATHER REGULATIONS FOR THE WINTER. IT WILL BE RAINING IN MOST OF US BY LUNCH. THE ONLY EXCEPTIONS, MAYBE PARTS OF CLARION AND FOREST COUNTIES, AND AFTER THE BATTLES OF LAUREL HIGHLAND. AND THEN WE’LL ALL SEE RAIN IN THE BACK PART OF THE DAY. So we’ll start with a Severe Weather Alert Day and then become an Impact Day as the afternoon progresses as we’ll all get rain at some point so it could be treacherous tomorrow morning. Ice accumulation, if present. AGAIN, PROBABLY NORTH OF CITY, A LIGHT GLAZING THAT COULD BE PROBLEMS ON ROADS AND BRIDGES. ALSO OFF THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS, POTENTIALLY 10 TO 2/10 INCHES OF ICE COULD BE SEEN ON THE ridges of the LAUREL HIGHLANDS. That’s enough to coat the branches of trees, causing them to fall and causing power outages. And that can make traveling very treacherous. IF YOU DON’T HAVE TO TRAVEL TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS, I WOULD WAIT TOMORROW UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY SO IT COULD CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS. 40 IS OUR HIGH TEMPERATURE AGAIN. It will take us all day to get there. Rain showers return late Monday, probably after sunset, so this is an impact day. WE WILL WATCH. IT COULD RAIN DURING THE EVENING. WE DRY TUESDAY. FIRST CHANCES OF RAIN FOR US ON WEDNESDAY AT 45. BUT WE ARE DRY FOR THE FIRST TIME. 34 IS THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE. Our dew points are in the 20s. WE GO THERE IN THE EVENING HOURS. We’ll make it cool then

Day of severe weather warning: Icy rain on Sunday morning

Updated: December 14, 2024, 7:15 p.m. EST

Clouds will increase tonight and temperatures will begin to warm before sunrise. There are two main questions for tomorrow morning: our temperature, when the precipitation will come and when the precipitation will come. Models this afternoon have generally pushed back the timing of precipitation. The later in the morning the precipitation occurs, the more likely we are to be above freezing. Rainfall is currently expected between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. We are likely to experience a short period of freezing rain across the area, quickly transitioning to rain in the metropolitan area and south, but freezing rain remaining for a while in the north and east. Freezing rain could potentially continue into the evening in the Laurel Highlands. Everyone else should notice full rain by 2 p.m. At this point we are downgrading the day to an Impact Day as it will rain for the remainder of the day’s hours. We’ll dry out on Sunday evening, then it’ll rain again late Monday. Monday afternoon will be an impact day as rain is expected during the evening commute. A slight chance of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday before a cold front moves through Thursday morning to end the chance of rain and bring our temperatures down into the weekend. Winter Weather Advisory for Beaver, Butler, Clarion, Fayette Highlands, Forest, Lawrence, Preston Highlands, Venango and Westmoreland Highlands from 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. Winter Storm Warning for Garrett County from 7 a.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday. Ice accumulations in Pittsburgh and surrounding counties NOT in a warning: light icing to none. Beaver, Butler, Lawrence: light icing on trees, sidewalks and roads. Clarion, Forest, Venango: light icing and snow up to 1 inch. Indiana, Fayette, Westmoreland: more up to 0.1″ and up to 1″ of snowPreston: up to 0.1″ and up to 1″ of snowGarrett: up to 0.2″ and up to 6″ of snow. Tonight: Severe weather warning day, low of 28°C with warmer temperatures. Tomorrow: Severe weather warning day/Impact day: Morning freezing rain to rain showers. Impact Day.

PITTSBURGH –

Clouds will increase tonight and temperatures will begin to warm before sunrise. There are two main questions for tomorrow morning: our temperature, when the precipitation will come and when the precipitation will come. Models this afternoon have generally pushed back the timing of precipitation. The later in the morning the precipitation occurs, the more likely we are to be above freezing.

We’ll dry out on Sunday evening, with more rain late on Monday. Monday afternoon will be an impact day as rain is expected during the evening commute. A slight chance of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday before a cold front moves through on Thursday morning, ending the chance of rain and sending our temperatures dropping into the weekend.
