A brief weekend update as rain begins to fall in parts of the state. Below is expected precipitation through Tuesday.

Now onto snowfall. Here is the model blend, or average snowfall output among models.

Generally above 6” in the lake effect belts of NWPA about 10 miles away from the shore, and in western facing slopes of the Laurel Highlands.

Now into the other short range guidance, which isn’t as generous in the Pittsburgh area.

Winter weather alerts have been issued in much of Western Pennsylvania ahead of this, and lake effect is always localized.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
