Cooler but dry for St. Patrick’s Day
TURNPIKE TO VETERANS BRIDGE, ASHLEY DOUGHERTY AND ELENA. WE DO HAVE A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS, EVEN A FEW FLURRIES FLYING AROUND THIS MORNING. NOTHING SIGNIFICANT, EVEN JUST A LIGHT MIST IN SOME SPOTS THAT COMES TO AN END AROUND 8:00. HIGHS RETURNING INTO THE 70S THIS WEEK AND THEN AN IMPACT DAY FOR US ON THURSDAY WITH RAIN RETURNING AND IT IS GOING TO BE WIDESPREAD ON AND OFF THROUGHOUT THE DAY. WE’LL GET TO THAT IN JUST A BIT, BUT HELPING YOU STEP OUT THIS MORNING AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE HOW LIGHT THESE SHOWERS ARE AND VERY ISOLATED ALONG THE PARKWAY EAST THIS MORNING, HEADING INTO MCKEESPORT ALONG 48 ROUTE 30 AND 51, YOU MAY NOTICE A FEW FLURRIES FLYING AROUND IN SOUTH FAYETTE, BUT THE GROUND IS PRETTY WARM, SO IT IS MELTING ON CONTACT. AND EVEN ALONG THE TURNPIKE THIS MORNING ALONG ROUTE EIGHT, STILL A FEW SHOWERS, A LITTLE BATCH OF SOME LIGHT RAIN ALONG 228. THAT’S A BUSY ROAD THIS TIME OF MORNING HEADING INTO WEXFORD. AND AGAIN, COLD ENOUGH UP NORTH WHERE YOU’RE SEEING A FEW FLAKES STILL LINGERING INTO THE ELLWOOD CITY AREA ALONG ROUTE 18. THAT’S A BUSY ROAD AS WELL. THIS TIME OF MORNING INTO LAWRENCE COUNTY, THAT’S GOING TO EDGE INTO WESTERN PARTS OF BUTLER COUNTY. IT’S A LITTLE CHILLY. YOU DEFINITELY NEED THOSE JACKETS AS YOU HEAD OUT THIS MORNING. 37 RIGHT NOW, PITTSBURGH, WASHINGTON AND UNIONTOWN 34 AS YOU WAKE UP IN BUTLER, INDIANA, SITTING AT 37 AS WELL, BEAVER AT 35 RIGHT NOW. AND I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE WINDS PICKING UP AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, ABOUT 15 TO 20MPH. SO IT’S GOING TO KEEP THAT CHILL TO THE AIR. BUT THE NICE THING IS WE ARE GOING TO WATCH THESE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO DECREASE. SO IT IS GOING TO BE A PRETTY DECENT SAINT PATRICK’S DAY FOR US AS WE LOOK THROUGH THE DAY AGAIN, WE WILL STILL HAVE THAT ISOLATED SHOWER MIST, A FLURRY TO ABOUT EIGHT 9:00. THEN A CLEARING STARTS AROUND 12 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON. WE FINISH OUT THE DAY WITH THE LUCK OF THE IRISH SEASONAL. AGAIN, A LITTLE CHILL TO THE AIR INTO THE UPPER 40S MID 60S. SUNNY SKIES FOR TUESDAY. CLOUDS MOVE IN BUT STILL STAYING DRY IN THE MID 70S ON WEDNESDAY, FIRST DAY OF SPRING. WHAT BETTER WAY TO USHER IT IN WITH AN IMPACT DAY AND SOME RAIN SHOWERS NOW THAT HIGH OF 62 ON THURSDAY WILL BE EARLY IN THE MORNING AROUND MIDNIGHT. THEN WE’LL GRADUALLY WATCH THOSE TEMPERATURES DROP THROUGH THE DAY. BUT AS WE MAP OUT OUR FUTURE CAST THROUGH THE DAY TODAY, LIKE I SAID, AROUND 12 1:00 WE’LL WATCH THESE CLOUDS BREAK. SUNNY SKIES TO FINISH OUT THE DAY AS KIDS ARE COMING HOME FROM SCHOOL. AS YOU’RE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, YOU CAN EVEN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SUN GLARE ISSUE AS WE GET INTO THE OVERNIGHT, WE’RE GOING TO NOTICE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES COLD DOWN IN THE LOW 30S, BUT DRY AGAIN. SUN GLARE COULD ALSO BE AN ISSUE EARLY TOMORROW MORNING FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE ON TUESDAY. THEN WE’LL WATCH SOME CLOUDS START TO MOVE IN AS THE SUN GETS READY TO SET ON OUR TUESDAY EVENING. BUT THERE’S YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST AS WE LOOK AT OUR IMPACT DAY ON THURSDAY. WE ARE EXPECTING THOSE RAIN SHOWERS STARTING INTO THE MORNING COMMUTE. A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK INTO THE AFTERNOON, BUT SHORT LIVED. WE’LL WATCH THAT COLD FRONT SWEEP THROUGH AND IT’S GOING TO USHER IN THAT COOLER AIR WITH DROPPING TEMPERATURES COOLER ON FRIDAY, BUT STAYING DRY. SHOW
