Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Tonight, temperatures are forecast to drop to the mid-20s to near 30 degrees Fahrenheit, and a widespread freeze is expected to strike a significant portion of the region. It is possible that wind chills may drop to approximately 20 degrees Fahrenheit by Wednesday morning, which could pose serious dangers to residents, particularly on the highways. By late evening, the winds will have slowed down, but a breeze from the northwest will continue to make the air feel colder throughout the morning and night.
According to the National Weather Service, metropolitan locations such as Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Dover are anticipated to have low temperatures of 28 degrees Fahrenheit, whilst coastal districts such as Cape May and Bethany Beach are anticipated to experience temperatures close to 34 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a high probability that the freezing temperatures will bring about a broad freeze, which may have an effect on agriculture as well as other activities that take place outside.
On Wednesday, temperatures will rise, reaching highs of close to 50 degrees Fahrenheit; however, the region can anticipate significantly less wind, with westerly gusts of 10-15 miles per hour. Residents are cautioned to get ready for the cold weather that is expected to prevail tonight and to exercise caution on the roads and conditions that are expected to be ice early tomorrow morning.
