Discussion - 2/24

The WRF is showing a strong low pressure make its way in from the southwest.  This system is expected to bring heavy precipitation across the state for this evening and for tomorrow.   The center of the low appears to be setting up over the Pittsburgh Metro/Laurel Highlands region and quickly stretch to the Northeast region of PA.  The low appears to be following a warm front - so, this system will bring warm air advection as it passes through our region.  Therefore, southern regions of the state (including LH, CR, and SE) will see rain over the next 48 hours, while areas to the north including NC, NS, Centre, and NE will see mix precip during the daytime hours of Friday and the possibly of snow.   Once this system is all said and done, it will bring warm air to the region and we can expect temperatures back into the lower to mid-50's across the state as we begin the new week.
