blackngoldrules Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's a battle out there.Everything is falling. The warm tongue is winning the battle yet again. I'm getting mostly rain now in Bridgeville with some sleet mixing in. Was hoping it wouldn't change this soon. I wonder what it's doing imby? Probably close to the same.

KPITSnow Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Still sticking with 6-10. Even with the changeover most already have 3-4 inches, other than low lying areas. Another 4-6 overnight and into tomorrow seems likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 How can locals like wpxi hold onto a 3-6 inches total when most of the area already has 2-4 inches? I simply don't get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Light rain mixing with sleet and a few wet flakes here too. Looking at my new radarscope on my phone it shows the changeover rather well. The rain/snow line looks to be from around Wheeling through my house and into New Kensington. This line looks to be moving farther north. A lot of the models had all of Allegheny County over to rain late this afternoon and they may be right. As I type I can still hear the pings on the window but the precip has really lightened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 It's funny how I had snow all morning and day with a temp of 35 degrees. Now my temp has fallen to 33.6 and it is light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Definetly taking a beating right now. A rogue flake here and there, but nothing more right now. Hopefully that low can strengthen a bit faster, and bring in some colder air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdd9108 Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 31 degree and rain. Come on now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Maddening to be sitting between 32 and 33 degrees while it pours down rain. So far the radar looks pretty close to what the models showed. The surface is not the problem, its the upper levels. I took a snapshot for all the new folks to see, we seem to do battle with this all the time and more ofthen than not it wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Frustrating to be this close too. Literally sitting at 33. 31 degree and rain. Come on now The earlier disco mentioned stronger mid and upper level dynamics tonight with the northern stream approaching. Hopefully this will be enough to change us back, before we lose too much QPF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this will be enough to change us back, before we lose too much QPF. One good thing is with the surface already at or near freezing once the change over happens accumulations can resume. I am skeptical that anyone who is seeing the rain right now will measure more than 4 inches tomorrow when all is said and done. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

I really think a good 4-6 overnight still. I'm not sure why you are so low on totals? Where are you in the city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I really think a good 4-6 overnight still. I'm not sure why you are so low on totals? Where are you in the city? I'm in the New Kensington area in Westemoreland County, right on the border of Allegheny. I'm just anticipating the warm air aloft may hold on a bit longer than progged, especially considering it has made it a bit further NW than anticipated. We have a pretty narrow window of time from what I can tell when the best dynamics are here to get our snow. The back end snows are more from the upper level low, than what you would typically call wrap around so that does give some credence to the idea. At this point my opinion is more based on past experience than actual numbers and science. I hope to bust badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoraopolisWx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 How fast of a transition can happen with a storm like this? Very much a novice here, but according to the NWS, the northern stream energy will have to do the work. The faster the interaction, the faster the changeover. From what i gather.

Rolling Snowed Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 The rain made for a less stressful commute than in snow or some god awful mix, and for that I'm very thankful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Rain/Snow line barely moving. NWS says after midnight we change and I believe it will be around then. It always snows when we sleep. You don't get to see it coming down but you still have to shovel it in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoraopolisWx Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 WTAE 1 - CoraopolisWx 0 I didn't want to belive their updated noon forecast, but was forced to take it like a man. LOL The area of heavier snow has been very narrow so far with this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsteel Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 about 3" of snow in Sarver area today at 1PM, Changed over to a mix around 1:30, then plain rain, still rain as 10PM approaches.. Yesterdays forecasts for Tues/Wed totals were: KDKA: 2-6 in WTAE: 4-8 in WPXI: 6-8 in NWS: 6-8 in Didn't expect such a long period of rain... probably lucky to get 3-4 inches at the most tonight into tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
