Bitter Cold Moves Into Western Pennsylvania

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Brace yourself for a deep chill this weekend.  Temperatures across the area will hover near 20 degrees for highs through Sunday with morning lows falling to single digits through Monday.  This deep chill is due to an arctic front that slid in from the northwest.  The good news, if any, is that we will see winds fairly light through the weekend.  This means the wind chill will be limited and close to temperatures.

For Friday, expect a high barely hitting 20 degrees.  Most of the day will be spent at or just below 15 degrees.  Winds will be light and we should see some sunshine.  Early morning travel was slowed mainly due to a couple of flurries falling and causing a few slick spots on roads.
