Winter storm system to impact holiday weekend

PITTSBURGH — Stay weather aware the next few days and be ready to adjust your travel plans.

A drastic drop in temperatures will create the threat for icy travel with dangerously cold wind chills to follow.

Take advantage of the dry weather on Wednesday and get your winter weather plans ready.

Have plenty of ice melt and an ice scraper ready for Friday morning and check the live Channel 11 News forecast before you head out. Icy travel is likely, especially before sunrise through early afternoon.

Make sure your home is winter ready too as cold temperatures may cause pipes to freeze.

And don’t underestimate how cold it will be. Wind chills as low as -10 to -15 will be in the area late Friday through Saturday and that’s cold enough to cause frostbite if you are out for an extended time. Check on neighbors and the elderly to make sure they have a way to stay warm, and don’t forget the pets! They feel the cold too.
