Pittsburgh/Western PA WINTER ‘25/‘26

[Burghblizz]

Let’s kick this off right. Would be nice to get on the board early. Looking good for a solid little event tonight.

Tomorrow looks like a classic southern slider with just enough northern stream interaction to get us 2-3" and keep the rain at bay, except for those in the southernmost counties, of course.  The warm tongue is undefeated.

Not likely to find any big events in this pattern, but the next couple weeks look okay for those old-timey Alberta Clippers.  I'm sure we'll take any snow while we can get it.

It should make things look festive around these parts until the (perhaps brief) Christmas warmup.

Very 2020 Covid-year like with the fast start to December. Not saying to expect as much as fell on December 1, 2020, but certainly a positive development.

I'm here for some clippers, get them to dive underneath us then reinforce NW flow behind them over the warm lakes and you are looking at almost daily shots of snow.

Things still on track. Surfaces should be plenty cold and very early morning timing will maximize accumulations. Im still thinking 2-4, with maybe a 5 lollipop if somewhere manages to maxmize ratios and banding, but overall progressive nature is going to limit that potential.

Will be fun to kick off the season!

Most models are showing about a 3” snowfall for the Pittsburgh area, which looks about correct.

According to reports out of Kansas City forecasts have bust low. They received more snow than forecasted in some areas fwiw.

They are actually bringing up the possibility for rain mixing in for some areas south and east of here. Hoping that stays where it's at. If you look on the maps, it shows those areas with a little less snow.

That’s where I am-just east of Uniontown on the summit/hoping the elevation keeps the mixing to minimum! The map shows me in same accumulation as you guys where 10 miles down the mountain might see 1”

NWS bumped the expected slightly to 3-5".
