  1. 000 FXUS61 KPBZ 171302 AFDPBZ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Pittsburgh PA 802 AM EST Mon Jan 17 2022 .SYNOPSIS... Low pressure moving across the Mid-Atlantic region will result in continued snowfall today. Afterward, cold weather will persist all week long with intermittent snow chances. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Frontogenesis and vorticity advection are still very much present and contributing to overall ascent on the back side of this eastward propagating trough. As evident per 12Z KPIT sounding, much colder air, nw flow has initiated with a saturated profile. Snowfall will continue to accumulate, heavily at times, depending on location and enhancement within frontogenesis. An additional 2-3 inches is generally possible, especially north of Pittsburgh. Several more inches are likely in the higher elevations as upslope will be favored. Sustained wind speed and gusts will increase in the higher terrain of the WV and PA Alleghenies on Monday, which will likely result in blowing snow and lowered visibility. && .SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/... Tonight, coverage in snow showers will gradually taper off, though isolated snow showers will remain with lake enhancement of lingering vorticity advection and upslope. Light accumulation is possible Tuesday morning in the WV ridges and Laurel Mountains. Tuesday day will be cold and mostly cloudy, with a cloud deck attempting to erode from the south through the day. Look for highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. && .LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... Low pressure propagating sewd across the Great Lakes will provide the chance for precipitation on Monday, with likely a frontal passage that could result in progressive precip chances of rain/snow mix. Long range model ensembles indicate that a cold stretch is likely, with low temperature progged in the single digits on Thursday and Friday nights. && .AVIATION /13Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... IFR with periods of low-MVFR and LIFR will persist through the morning as a low pressure system moves northward across the Mid- Atlantic. The most significant restrictions will occur in a deformation snow band as it pivots across just about all area terminals, with likely sub-1SM vis and CIGs under 1kft. With the exception of ZZV, terminals should receive a few inches of additional snowfall accumulation. Cold northwest flow on the backside of the low as it departs will result in continued MVFR CIGs with scattered lake-enhanced snow showers. These showers will gradually taper off Monday night into Tuesday with CIGs gradually breaking up in response to incoming dry air. .Outlook... Widespread VFR conditions are likely to return mid day Tuesday under building high pressure. && .PBZ WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
