Soggy weekend ahead for Western Pennsylvania
IT’S BEEN A WARMING TREND FOR US SINCE WE STARTED THIS LAST FULL WEEK OF 2024, AND THAT WILL LAST INTO THE WEEKEND, AS WELL AS OUR TEMPERATURES KEEP WARMING, MOST OF US ARE ALREADY INTO THE 40S NOW. WE’LL CLIMB INTO THE 50S AND EVEN 60 THIS WEEKEND, BUT IT COMES AS RAIN CHANCES RETURN, ESPECIALLY ON SUNDAY, WHICH IS AN IMPACT DAY AS THERE WILL BE SHOWERS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. SO AS WE HEAD THROUGH TODAY AND TOMORROW, THINGS ARE GENERALLY QUIET. WE’LL WATCH FOR PERHAPS A LATE DAY SHOWER ON FRIDAY THAT DOESN’T LOOK TO GET HERE UNTIL AFTER SUNSET. SATURDAY LIKELY STARTS DRY WITH ONLY AN ISOLATED SHOWER. CHANCE THROUGH THE DAY, AND SOME OF US MAY TOUCH 60 DEGREES ON SATURDAY. AND THEN THE MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN GETS HERE, LIKELY EARLY ON SUNDAY MORNING. RAIN LIKELY FOR THE MAJORITY OF US BEFORE WE GET TO SUNRISE, AND THEN RAIN SHOWERS LASTING THROUGH THE DAY ON SUNDAY AS WELL. THAT’S WHY IT’S AN IMPACT DAY. AND IN FACT, WE COULD SEE SOME PRETTY GOOD RAINFALL OUT OF THIS AS WELL. ALL TOLD, BY THE TIME WE’RE DONE ON SUNDAY, EASILY LIKELY ABOUT THREE QUARTERS TO AN INCH OF RAIN ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO CATAPULT US INTO A TOP 15 WETTEST YEAR ON RECORD. TOP TEN IS NOT OUT OF REACH, EITHER, AND THEN THOSE SHOWERS WILL BACK OFF AS WE HEAD INTO MONDAY BEFORE ANOTHER RAIN CHANCE GETS HERE. AS WE HEAD INTO NEW YEAR’S EVE. SO TODAY IS FANTASTIC. WE’RE ON TRACK FOR ABOUT 47 AS SKIES CONTINUE CLEARING 51 FOR US ON FRIDAY. AGAIN, SHOWERS LIKELY AFTER SUNSET, SO DAYLIGHT HOURS FRIDAY ARE DRY. AN ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCE ON SATURDAY AND THEN SUNDAY IS OUR IMPACT DAY. A HIGH OF 60. BUT AGAIN, RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE WITH US THROUGHOUT THE DAY. THAT RAIN COULD BE HEAVY AT TIMES AS WELL. THAT’S WHY WE COULD POTENTIALLY SEE UP TO AN INCH OF RAIN POSSIBLE IN SOME SPOTS ON SUNDAY. EVEN SOME ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS THAN THAT. IF YOU SIT UNDERNEATH SOME OF THOSE HEAVIER DOWNPOURS, WE’LL DRY OUT MONDAY AT 51. TUESDAY IS ALSO AN IMPACT DAY FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS ON OUR NEW YEAR’S EVE. AT 51 WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON WATCH NIGHT PLANS, BUT RIGHT NOW HAVE THE RAIN GEAR. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 40S WITH RAIN SHOWERS AS WE RING IN THE N
