Schools announce delays, closings ahead of bitter cold Monday morning
ALL SUPER CUTE TO OUR WEATHER AT TIMES HAS BEEN A LITTLE ROUGH OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. YEAH, COLD TODAY, BUT THE SUN WAS OUT SO THAT DID HELP TO COUNTERACT SOME OF THE CHILL THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. RIGHT NOW WE STILL HAVE A MAINLY CLEAR SKY, BUT TODAY MARKS OUR 17TH STRAIGHT DAY WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW 32 DEGREES. THAT GOES BACK TO JANUARY THE 22ND. THE GOOD NEWS IS THE STREAK IS COMING TO AN END. ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES ARE NOT THAT FAR IN OUR FUTURE. BY THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK, WE SHOULD BE FIRMLY ABOVE FREEZING. 29 IS GOING TO BE THE HIGH TOMORROW, SO WE’RE STILL GOING TO BE BELOW FREEZING. WE’RE GOING TO START NEAR AND BELOW ZERO TOMORROW MORNING. THEN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK ON TUESDAY, TEMPERATURES WILL SPIKE TO 43. AND THEN WE SHOULD SEE NEAR AND ABOVE FREEZING MORE SEASONAL THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK, WITH JUST A CHANCE TO MAYBE SEE AN ISOLATED SPRINKLE ON TUESDAY, BUT MAINLY DRY CONDITIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW 12 IN BUTLER, 13 IN CRANBERRIES, 15 IN MONROEVILLE, 16 IN GREENSBURG, 18 IN UNIONTOWN. AND THANKFULLY, WINDS ARE GENERALLY LIGHT UNDER TEN MILES AN HOUR AND WIND SPEEDS WILL COME DOWN EVEN MORE OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. EXCUSE ME AS WE HEAD TOWARD TOMORROW MORNING. SHOULD HAVE WIND SPEEDS LESS THAN FIVE MILES AN HOUR ALL ACROSS THE AREA. SO CALM WINDS, SO NO CHILL FACTOR TO SPEAK OF HEADING TOWARD FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING. BUT AS WE APPROACH SUNRISE, YOU’LL NOTICE TEMPERATURES NEAR AND BELOW ZERO. TO START THE DAY, WE SHOULD QUICKLY REBOUND WITH THE HELP OF SUNSHINE, ESPECIALLY THE FIRST HALF OF THE DAY. BY NOONTIME, APPROACHING 20 DEGREES BY 4 P.M., APPROACHING 30 DEGREES, THERE WILL BE SOME INCREASE IN HIGH CLOUDINESS DURING THE AFTERNOON TOMORROW, SO I THINK WE’LL SEE. FILTERED OR VEILED SUNSHINE BY THE END OF THE DAY TOMORROW. YOU CAN SEE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, PARTLY SUNNY SKIES, A FEW MORE OF THOSE CLOUDS IN THE AFTERNOON AND THEN MOVING INTO THE DAY ON TUESDAY. THIS IS OUR WARMER DAY. IT’S GOING TO BE MOSTLY CLOUDY AND CAN’T RULE OUT AN ISOLATED EXCUSE ME OR TWO, BUT MUCH OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY FOR MOST OF US WILL BE RAIN FREE. 43 THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ON TUESDAY. THEN AGAIN, MORE SEASONAL PATTERN SET UP IN TERMS OF TEMPERATURE LOW TO MID 30S TO ROUND OUT THE WEEK. SO WE SHOULD SEE SOME ADDITIONAL THAWING DURING THE DAY. EACH DAY WITH ABO
