As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, today’s weather will be near record levels as high temperatures are expected to climb into the 60s. These extremely warm temperatures are due to an advection of warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico ahead of an approaching cold front. With the passage of the front tomorrow morning, much cooler air is expected to funnel in. However, with the change in temperature will come two main stories; one of which is heavy rain and a chance of thunderstorms and the second will be the windy conditions expected.
Any time after midnight through late Sunday morning is fair game for showers and possible thunderstorms. While we will not see any severe weather, certainly lightning and heavy rain are possible. Winds will be sustained from 20 to 30 mph late tonight through the day Sunday. Therefore, the National Weather Service has placed our area under a wind advisory from 9pm tonight through 9pm Sunday, as winds could gust to 40 and 50 mph during these time frames. Have a great weekend everyone! Go Steelers!
