(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus61 kpbz 161227 afdpbz area forecast discussion national weather service pittsburgh pa 727 am est Fri nov 16 2018 Synopsis Light snow possible today mainly north of pittsburgh and along the ridges before high pressure returns on Saturday. A weak cold front will cross the region Sunday. Below normal temperatures will continue into next week. Near term until 6 pm this evening Precipitation has flared back up this morning ahead of a shortwave approaching from the west. Precipitation remains mainly snow, but with a decrease in upper level moisture, some patchy drizzle freezing drizzle is mixing in. Have increased pops to include likely coverage for an hour or two, and have added a mention of patchy freezing drizzle as well. With many temperatures hanging right around freezing, do not expect significant impact from freezing precipitation at this point, but will continue to monitor closely. Previous for this afternoon... the only real concern for today is the possibility of freezing drizzle in the ridges with orographic lift and relatively warm cloud top temperatures indicating the likely absence of any cloud ice. A crossing shortwave this afternoon should result in some scattered light snow, however, no significant accumulation is expected. There is some concern for possible freezing precipitation with this feature along and north of i-80 where surface temperatures should be close to freezing and forecast soundings show a lack of cloud ice... But current IR imagery does currently show cooler cloud tops with this feature so opted to not include in the hwo at this time. Cold air advection and |
cloud coverage will limit the diurnal temperature range today with forecast highs remaining in the 30s. Winds will be gusty today with a tight pressure gradient. Short term 6 pm this evening through Sunday Saturday will be dry but temperatures will remain below normal with sfc high pressure in control. A weak cold front will return rain and snow to the region later on Sunday... With accumulations largely limited to north of pittsburgh. Long term Sunday night through Thursday A crossing wave will bring precipitation back to the region Tuesday afternoon and overnight... But otherwise... The extended looks to be largely dry with ridging the dominant feature through the second half of the week. Aviation 12z Friday through Tuesday Restrictions will continue in the wake of the low pressure system lifting northeast today with some additional scattered snow showers possible later today with a crossing wave. Outlook... small improvements in restrictions are expected through the weekend as drying commences with NW flow. A disturbance Sunday will bring more restrictions with more precipitation. Pbz watches warnings advisories Md... None. Oh... None. Pa... None. Wv... None. |

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
