... INTERESTING WEATHER TO IMPACT SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS....

AN INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WITH ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT WILL TAKE AIM AT THE FORECAST AREA FOR THE DAY ON FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY MORNING.

THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS PLACED THE ENTIRE REGION IN A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT ON FRIDAY.  THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL.

ALSO, THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY FOR THE AREA TO SEE THE FIRST SNOWFALL OF THE SEASON FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO SATURDAY.  THERE IS STILL MUCH UNCERTAINTIY AS MODELS ARE NOT AGGREEING MUCH ON THIS SOLUTION, BUT THE POSSIBILITY IS THERE, AND THERE COULD BE THE POSSIBLITY OF HIGH WINDS BEHIND THIS FRONT AS WELL, WITH WIND GUSTS TO NEAR 40 MPH.

STAY TUNED FOR LATER FORECAST SHIFT DISCUSSIONS AND FORECASTS FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION AS WE WORK TOWARD FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
