Pittsburgh residents should anticipate better weather conditions as the day goes on, as they wake up to the tail end of a weather system that has delivered a combination of rain and snow to the area. The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, reports that the problematic low pressure is moving out and that tomorrow will bring drier skies.
As the low-pressure system moved eastward, the severe weather from the early morning, which included a Blizzard Warning for eastern Tucker County, subsided to lesser intensities. “Cancelled the Blizzard Warning for eastern Tucker County as rates and winds have lessened as low pressure exits east,” the article explained by the National Weather Service. Lower regions saw the winter storm warm and turn into rain, while higher elevations struggled with snow. With the lifting of the Winter Storm Warning, the city’s icy hold began to slowly but steadily loosen.
Due to warm advection, the forecast for this evening and the rest of the weekend suggests a mild event with light showers. But there isn’t any noteworthy precipitation scheduled. Tonight, warm advection will start. The forecast discussion went on to say that overrunning should lead to a low possibility of light rain overnight, although no substantial QPF is anticipated. Nestled between the leaving low and an impending cold front that is expected to arrive on Monday and bring showers and around a half-inch of rainfall, Sunday is predicted to be a clear respite.
The next week deals with the erratic nature of fall transitions; rain and snow are possible around Tuesday but give way to more certain dry conditions in the middle of the week. Before the trough exits on Tuesday, there will be a risk of rain and snow primarily north of PIT due to the chilly NW flow and lingering upper trough. The latter part of the week is courting rain and snow once more, making it a dance of pressures and the elements. Thanksgiving is fraught with uncertainty due to conflicting model forecasts and the erratic nature of weather patterns.
IFR to MVFR ceilings are anticipated to decrease, reflecting the ground’s alleviating problems for local pilots. According to the aviation prediction, organized precipitation will wane and progressively move eastward as ridging develops to our west after 12Z. Before another cold front may impose restrictions early next week, VFR conditions are expected to resume by Sunday, offering brighter skies for aviation travel.
