Rainy To Cooler

Rainy To Cooler

4/26/25 8:20am

A rainy to cooler setup through today and tonight. Almost cold to start Sunday morning.

First our rain over the last 18 hours or so.

A much needed rainy past 18 hours. Rainfall amounts in many instances coming in from around a half an inch to an inch with some higher amounts sprinkled in.

Pretty uniform temps out there this morning across the Alleghenies under clouds and wet conditions. Temps ranging through the 50s. With cooler air lurking NW.

Those colder temps do work in behind the cold front that is off to our NW

Temps off the 6z GFS will display that.

Even tomorrow morning we may talk windchills .

The rainfall exits behind the cold front

Skies break overnight, breezy conditions persist. Chilly conditions Sunday with a cool breeze, under plenty of sun.
