THE WAY. BUT YEAH, WE HAD SOME THUNDERSTORMS ROLLING THROUGH. A LOT OF THEM HAVE MOVED ON OUT. BUT IT WAS A LIGHTNING SHOW THERE AND GLAD WE GOT TO CAPTURE IT WITH OUR ACTION CAM TO SHARE WITH YOU NOW. RIGHT NOW WE’RE STILL SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF MIXING. MAY HAVE AGAIN SOME FREEZING RAIN ALONG ROUTE EIGHT INTO THE HAMPTON AREA, ROSS TOWNSHIP ALONG 279. YOU’RE SEEING SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN THAT’S EXTENDING UP INTO WEXFORD. I ALSO NOTICED THIS INTO THE PINE TOWNSHIP AREA, INTO WEST DEER. COULD BE A LITTLE TRICKY ON SOME OF THOSE BACK ROADS, AND EVEN ALONG THE TURNPIKE AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH IT’S A MAIN ROAD, IT COULD BE A LITTLE DICEY. OAKMONT. YOU’RE RIGHT ON THE FRINGE THERE OF SEEING SOME OF THAT MIX. NOW THINGS ARE STARTING TO QUIET DOWN, AND THAT WAS EXPECTED. AND WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE THIS QUIET DOWN. THE WORST OF IT STARTED AROUND MIDNIGHT. NOW WE’RE STARTING TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES WARM UP A LITTLE BIT, AND THE STORM SYSTEM IS MOVING THROUGH. WE’RE DRYING OUT INTO WASHINGTON. STILL A FEW SPOTTY SHOWERS IN GREEN AND EVEN INTO FAYETTE. SOME POCKETS OF MORE STEADY RAIN INTO WESTMORELAND. AND YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT MIX, SOME OF THAT ICING POTENTIAL INTO CAMBRIA AND SOMERSET. AS WE GET INTO THE GREENSBURG AREA. YOU JUST HAD SOME HEAVIER RAIN ROLL THROUGH, AND NOW THAT’S CONTINUING TO PUSH INTO THE UNITY AREA. EVEN ALONG 982 AND 981 INTO HUMPHREYS. AGAIN, YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAINFALL SET UP TO OUR COUNTY’S NORTH. BUTLER. FOR 22 ON SOUTH. SO A LITTLE BIT OF MIXING BUT MAINLY SOME RAIN ALONG 228 EVEN INTO THE CRANBERRY AREA AS WE GET UP INTO MERCER, VENANGO AND CLARION AGAIN COULD BE ICY SEEING A BIT OF A GLAZE. SOME REPORTS IN THOSE AREAS, EVEN INTO ARMSTRONG AND NORTHERN PARTS OF INDIANA. NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS EXPANDED THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UNTIL 7:00 THIS MORNING, PRETTY MUCH FOR THE ENTIRE AREA, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF GREENE COUNTY, AND THAT ICE STORM WARNING REMAINS IN PLACE TO OUR HIGHER ELEVATIONS EAST OUR COUNTIES EAST UNTIL 10:00 THIS MORNING. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THE ROAD TEMPERATURES. A DEGREE CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN PITTSBURGH, PARTS OF WASHINGTON, EVEN GREENSBURG, SITTING AROUND 30 TO 32 DEGREES. SO IT IS COLD ENOUGH FOR THERE TO BE SOME ICING. IT MAY JUST LOOK WET, BUT IT COULD BE ICY. WHERE WE ARE SEEING THE COLDER ROAD TEMPERATURES IS ALONG FOR 22 ON NORTH, WHERE YOUR TEMPERATURES ARE SITTING IN THE MID TO UPPER 20S. SO IT COULD BE A LITTLE TRICKY IF YOU’RE GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT. WE ARE SEEING STILL SOME LOW VISIBILITY, ESPECIALLY INTO ALLEGHENY, WASHINGTON, EVEN INTO WESTMORELAND. ABOUT A HALF A MILE VISIBILITY OR LESS. TEMPERATURES AREN’T TOO BAD. THEY’RE ACTUALLY GOING TO CLIMB UP IN THE 50S. THIS AFTERNOON. 34 RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH, ALREADY 46 IN UNIONTOWN, 32 CLARION AND INDIANA, 33 IN BEAVER. AS WE LOOK AT YOUR FOUR DAY FORECAST, WE’LL SHOOT INTO THE LOW 50S. COOLER BUT DRY ON FRIDAY. AND THEN WATCHING ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM COMING IN ON SATURDAY. I’M GOING TO TIME THIS ALL OUT FOR YOU AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE MORNING. 730 STILL A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS AFTER NINE 10:00 THOUGH. MOSTLY CLOUDY, VERY QUIET FOR US. PARTLY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES INTO THE OVERNIGHT AND THEN WE ARE EXPECTING TO SEE QUIET CONDITIONS THROUGH THE DAY ON FRIDAY. STILL A LITTLE BREEZY, BUT SOME SUNSHINE TO MIX IN. HERE’S WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT THOUGH, AS WE HEAD INTO SATURDAY. RIGHT NOW, SATURDAY MORNING LOOKS QUIET, BUT WE’LL START TO SEE A WINTRY MIX POTENTIAL AS EARLY AS THREE 4:00. SOME OF THE HEAVIEST OF RAIN WILL BE COMING AROUND SEVEN. THAT WILL EXTEND INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING BEFORE A LOT OF YOU WAKE UP. ONCE WE GET THROUGH THAT DOES QUIET DOWN FOR THE START OF NEXT WEEK WITH T
