Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 330 PM EST Mon Dec 18 2023 PAZ021-029-073-074-182100- Westmoreland Ridges-Westmoreland-Allegheny-Washington- 330 PM EST Mon Dec 18 2023 ...SNOW SHOWERS WILL AFFECT NORTHERN WASHINGTON...ALLEGHENY AND WESTMORELAND COUNTIES... At 330 PM EST, snow showers were located over Jefferson Hills, or near Gastonville, moving east at 35 mph. Winds in excess of 30 mph are possible with these snow showers. Locations impacted include... Pittsburgh, Penn Hills, Mount Lebanon, Bethel Park, Ross Township, McCandless Township, Monroeville, Moon Township, McMurray, Greensburg, McKeesport, Franklin Park, Jeannette, Canonsburg, Latrobe, Gastonville, Shaler Township, Plum, West Mifflin, and North Side Pittsburgh. This includes the following highways... Interstate 70 in Pennsylvania between mile markers 41 and 57. Pennsylvania Turnpike between mile markers 46 and 92. Interstate 79 in Pennsylvania between mile markers 44 and 70. Parkway North between mile markers 1 and 12. Interstate 376 in Pennsylvania between mile markers 51 and 84. Snow will lead to reduced visibilities and hazardous travel conditions. Use extra caution if you must travel into or through this intense snow shower. Rapid changes in visibility and potentially slick roads are likely to lead to accidents. Consider delaying travel until the squall passes your location.

Was coming down good here for like 15-20 minutes.

The boundary layer flow will veer back to the NW this evening, with additional lake and terrain enhancement. Forecast snow amounts have changed little, with 2 to 5 inches in the advisory areas, and 6-12 in the warnings. NBM probabilities remain high for warning level snow where the warning is in place. There is some concern a band of lake enhanced snow could result in localized higher accumulations especially across Mercer county. Maintained the current headlines as is for now, as confidence is not high enough for warning level snow there. Steep lapse rates continue through much of the night, before a subsidence inversion begins to develop later tonight/early Tuesday, resulting in a gradual decrease in snow shower coverage and intensity.

Also had the hailers.

Thankfully it seems to be weakening (at least for now). Was legit concerned there for a bit.

Mesoscale Discussion 1964 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1037 AM CDT Sat Aug 12 2023 Areas affected...northern Indiana into much of northwest Ohio...western Pennsylvania...western New York Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 121537Z - 121800Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Storms are likely to develop along the cold front over the next several hours. Supercells will be capable of damaging hail, and a few tornadoes from northeast Ohio into Pennsylvania and southern New York. Damaging winds may also develop with time. DISCUSSION...A cold front is moving southward into northern IN and toward northwest OH, and visible satellite shows a zone of heating ahead of the front. Southwest winds will continue to aid moisture advection, beneath cool midlevel temperatures. The result should be storms increasing in coverage along the front by early to mid afternoon, rapidly becoming severe and producing large hail and damaging gusts. Wind profiles will favor supercell storm mode, but bowing segments may develop with time. Low-level shear will likely be sufficient for a few tornadoes across the region, as 0-1 km SRH remains around 100 m2/s2. Near Lake Erie, locally enhanced shear is possible which may aid storms moving roughly parallel to the lake shore, but also with a slight component to the right. Notably, an expansive CU field has developed over northeast OH, western PA and into western NY, with billowing clouds within the boundary layer. This is the zone of best supercell tornado potential with favorable low-level shear, good low-level CAPE, favorable hodographs for supercells and developing low-level vorticity along the boundaries. ..Jewell/Smith.. 08/12/2023

Winds didn't make it this far west. Uniontown, on the other hand, has a lot of problems.

Should be a treat.

It snows on my birthday from time to time, so lock it in.

First local school delay of the season here after a whopping 1" fell.

The rain has arrived.

Coming down rather nicely at the moment.

Probably close to 2" of the wet stuff down here today. Blah.

A mild -1 here.

GFS improving.

Had some 2" hailers down this way.

It's happening!
