Storm system brings wintry mix, rain, winds to area Tuesday

PITTSBURGH — Plan for travel delays on Tuesday and Wednesday as another strong storm system brings the threat for a wintry mix, soaking rain and strong winds.

A brief wintry mix is possible early Tuesday morning as the system pushes in, but most areas will see a transition to rain through the morning commute. Areas along and north of 422 and east into the mountains could see a few inches of snow pile up before the transition to rain.

Periods of rain will continue late morning and into the afternoon and evening so have the umbrella with you as you head out.

It will be a windy day, too, with gusts topping 40 mph around Pittsburgh and even higher as you travel east. A High Wind Warning is set for the mountains where wind gusts could top 55 mph.

Colder air blasts in Wednesday with wind gusts over 40 mph everywhere during the afternoon. Snow showers will be around, too, before we settle back down Thursday.
