Updated: 9:46 AM EST Dec 17, 2023

IT’S AN IMPACT DAY FOR US. RAIN SHOWERS ARE FALLING. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO FILTER EASTWARD AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS RAIN IS REALLY MOVING NORTHWARD AND SLOWLY INCHING EASTWARD RIGHT NOW. BUT IT’S BEEN STEADY RAIN, ESPECIALLY IN THE LAWRENCE AND BEAVER COUNTY PRETTY MUCH ALL MORNING LONG. WE DO HAVE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS. IF ANYTHING A SPRINKLE OR TWO PASSING NOW IN THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, STRETCHING DOWN ALONG 51 NEAR THE DRAVOSBURG AREA THAT’S GOING TO IMPACT 376 EAST. IF YOU’RE HEADING TOWARDS WESTMORELAND HERE WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR, ALSO EXTENDING UP NEAR WEST DEER ALONG 910 INTO NORTHERN PARTS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, SOME OF THE HEAVIEST OF RAIN NOW INTO SOUTHERN PARTS OF VENANGO. BUT STEADY RAIN IS STILL FALLING INTO LAWRENCE. BEAVER PORTIONS OF BUTLER AND SOME SPOTTY LIGHT SPRINKLES THERE INTO WASHINGTON. WE STILL HAVE MORE RAIN IN OHIO THAT WILL BE FILTERING IN, AND WE WILL HAVE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT NOW. COLD FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED TO SWEEP THROUGH UNTIL WE GET INTO EARLY MONDAY. AND WHEN IT DOES, WE’LL START TO SEE THAT COOLER AIR SETTLE IN. SO DROPPING TEMPERATURES, WINDS ARE GOING TO START TO PICK UP 30 TO 35 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS. AND WE’LL ALSO HAVE THE LEFTOVER RAIN SHOWERS CHANGING OVER TO SOME SNOWFLAKES. SO WE’VE MADE AN IMPACT DAY ON MONDAY MAINLY FOR THE EVENING COMMUTE ON MONDAY AS IT COULD BE A LITTLE DICEY WITH SOME OF THOSE FLAKES FLYING AROUND, WE’RE STILL NOT EXPECTING A LOT OF ACCUMULATION, BUT WE WILL SEE THOSE SNOW SHOWERS LINGERING INTO EARLY TUESDAY. SO A BIT OF A CLOSER LOOK AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON EARLY EVENING. WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE SOME OF THIS RAIN, ESPECIALLY FROM PITTSBURGH ON NORTH AND WEST. AS WE GET AROUND EIGHT, 9:00 AT NIGHT. IT’S GOING TO START TO FIZZLE OUT. WE ARE GOING TO BE MOSTLY CLOUDY OVERNIGHT AND INTO EARLY MONDAY, SO MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE LOOKS GREAT AND AS WE GET AROUND NINE 10:00 WE’LL START TO SEE SOME SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS. AND AS THOSE TEMPERATURES START TO DROP, WE’LL SEE THAT CHANGE OVER TO SOME SNOWFLAKES. THIS IS 6:00 MONDAY EVENING. WE’LL HAVE THE SCATTERED SNOW AROUND THE AREA. LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS ARE GOING TO SET UP EARLY TUESDAY WITH THESE BANDS. WE USUALLY SEE VERY LOW VISIBILITY, ALTHOUGH IT’S ISOLATED WHERE THE BAND IS HITTING AND A QUICK COATING ON THE GROUND. AS OF NOW, THE SETUP DOES LOOK TO BE MAINLY NORTH OF THE CITY, WITH SNOW SHOWERS PRETTY CONTINUOUS IN THOSE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. EAST, BUT IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF AFTER LUNCHTIME. WE’LL START TO SEE A CLEARING, THEN WE WILL QUIET DOWN FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. SO HERE’S HOW MUCH RAIN WE’RE EXPECTING TODAY. MOST OF THE AREA, ESPECIALLY FROM PITTSBURGH ON NORTH AND WEST NORTHWEST, ESPECIALLY ABOUT A QUARTER TO A HALF AN INCH EVERYWHERE ELSE. A VERY LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS EXPECTED. NOT A LOT OF ACCUMULATION, ESPECIALLY WESTMORELAND AND FAYETTE COUNTY. NOW WINTER STORM WATCH GOES INTO PLACE 1:00 TO MONDAY AFTERNOON UNTIL 10 A.M. ON TUESDAY. THIS IS ONLY FOR EASTERN PORTIONS OF WESTMORELAND, FAYETTE, SOMERSET AND EVEN INTO GARRETT COUNTY, WHERE YOU COULD HAVE WIND GUSTS UP TO 40MPH AND ALSO HAVE SOME HIGHER AMOUNTS OF SNOW ACCUMULATION. HERE’S HOW MUCH WE’RE LOOKING AT RIGHT NOW AS WE GET INTO MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING IS WHEN WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE THAT SNOW FILTERING IN ABOUT A HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH AROUND NINE 10:00 MONDAY NIGHT. AND THEN AS THAT SNOW CONTINUES INTO THE OVERNIGHT INTO EARLY PARTS OF TUESDAY, WE COULD SEE ABOUT 1 TO 2IN AROUND THE AREA. SOME SPOTS ONLY ABOUT A HALF AN INCH, BUT OVERALL EXPECTING ABOUT 1 TO 2IN. AROUND A LOT OF THE REGION IN THAT WINTER. STORM WATCH AREAS WHERE YOU COULD HAVE THE HIGHER AMOUNTS, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOMERSET AND GARRETT COUNTY AND EASTERN PARTS OF WESTMORELAND AND FAYETTE. AT LEAST IT’S WARM ENOUGH TO BE ALL RAIN, EVEN THOUGH IT’S A COLD RAIN FOR US TODAY, TEMPERATURES AROUND THE AREA ARE INTO THE 40S. WE’RE GOING TO HOVER THERE WITH SOME SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS. JUST A LIGHT BREEZE EXPECTED TONIGHT. THOSE SHOWERS WILL COME TO AN END. WE WILL BE MOSTLY CLOUDY INTO THE OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY START TO DROP THROUGHOUT THE DAY AS WE LOOK AT YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS FOUR MORE FORECAST SNOWFLAKES EXPECTED MONDAY EVENING INTO EARLY TUESDAY, DRY
