AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH PA 711 AM EST SUN FEB 23 2014 .SYNOPSIS... A CROSSING FRONT WILL HERALD COLDER WEATHER AND PERIODIC SNOW CHANCES FOR THE COMING WEEK. && .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... QUICK UPDATE TO THE FORECAST EARLY THIS MORNING TO ADJUST TEMPERATURES DOWN SLIGHTLY BUT OTHERWISE THE FORECAST LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE. PREV DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.. SURFACE FRONT IS SOUTH OF THE AREA AND WILL REMAIN STALLED THERE INTO THE EVENING HOURS. MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT SHOWING A STRONG UPPER LEVEL WAVE MOVING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN HALF OF MY AREA...TO THE NORTH OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY...THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WAVE WILL DO TWO THINGS...BRING PRECIP BACK INTO MAINLY THE SOUTHERN HALF LATE TODAY AND ALSO SHOVE THE FRONT SOUTHWARD. IT APPEARS THERE WILL BE A RAPID DEVELOPMENT OF RAIN SHOWERS THIS AFTERNOON...WITH A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW OR ALL SNOW ON THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE PRECIP SHIELD. COLDER AIR WILL EVENTUALLY BE PULLED SOUTHWARD AS THE WAVE MOVES THROUGH...SO THE MIX/SNOW LINE WILL DRIFT SOUTHWARD INTO THE EVENING HOURS. TEMPS TODAY WILL BE A DEGREE OR TWO BELOW NORMAL. && .SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY/... PRECIP THIS EVENING LOOKS TO BE THE QUICK HITTING TYPE AS THE UPPER LEVEL WAVE IS IN A BIG HURRY TO MOVE TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST. COLDER AIR...WITH THE WAVE...WILL EVENTUALLY CHANGE ALL THE PRECIP TO SNOW DURING THE EVENING HOURS. ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE TRICKY FOR A COUPLE OF REASONS. FIRST THE SPEED AT WHICH EVERYTHING IS MOVING AND SECOND...SURFACE TEMPS WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING AT MOST LOCATIONS THROUGH MUCH OF THE EVENT...LIMITING ACCUMULATIONS. THINKING IS THAT HIGHEST AMOUNTS WILL BE IN THE RIDGES...WITH AMOUNTS RANGING FROM HALF AN INCH TO AN INCH IN THE LOW LANDS SOUTH AND EAST OF PIT...TO 1 TO 2 INCHES IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. SNOW WILL QUICKLY END AROUND MIDNIGHT IN THE FAR SOUTHEAST AS THE FORCING WILL BE GONE. COLD HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE IN ON MONDAY WITH A FEW LES SHOWERS AND FLURRIES POSSIBLE IN THE FAR NORTH. LOW CONFIDENCE FOR TUESDAY'S FORECAST DUE TO DIFFERING MODEL SOLUTIONS WITH ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL WAVE. WILL GO WITH A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FORECAST...MEANING CHANCE POPS FOR SNOW SHOWERS. AREA WILL BE WELL BACK INTO THE COLD PATTERN BY TUESDAY. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... WINTER CONTINUES IN THE LONG TERM. ONCE AGAIN...ARCTIC AIR WILL SETTLE IN THE EAST FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK. REALLY NO SYSTEMS TO HIT ON FOR PRECIP...JUST THE CROSSING OF A WEAK FRONT THURSDAY. && .AVIATION /12Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE MAJORITY OF THE DAY BEFORE A DISTURBANCE RESULTS IN CIGS DROPPING TO AOB 3KFT AND A CHANCE OF RAIN AND SNOW PRIMARILY SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 80 BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. BEST CHANCE TO SEE IFR CONDS DEVELOP WILL BE BETWEEN 22Z AND 02Z SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH. .OUTLOOK..../MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... A HANDFUL OF QUICK MOVING SYSTEMS WILL TRANSITION OVER THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR RELATIVELY SHORT PERIODS OF MVFR OR LOWER CONDITIONS. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... MD...NONE. OH...NONE. PA...NONE. WV...NONE. &&
