Wednesday will be dry, making Thanksgiving travel easier

PITTSBURGH — Rain holds off until late day Wednesday so try to wrap up your last-minute Thanksgiving meal shopping before sunset. A dry day will also make one of the busiest holiday travel days a little easier.

Widespread rain will continue off and on overnight Wednesday into early Thursday morning with colder air changing the rain to snow for areas north of Pittsburgh. Right now, a slushy couple of inches of accumulating snow is possible north of Route 422 in Butler with other areas getting a chilly rain.

Most roads will be wet but watch for snowy conditions the farther north you drive.

The rain-snow mix will wrap up by lunchtime leaving a blustery and colder afternoon with a few flurries.

Much colder air settles in by Friday morning and there could be a few isolated slick spots as wet roads refreeze. Wind chills will stay in the teens through the day with colder temperatures sticking around through early next week.
