Lingering clouds Saturday morning, partial clearing and warmer temperatures ahead

KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (3/8)

03:11

A narrow swath (between 15-20 miles wide) of moderate snow setup late Friday evening in an east to west zone from HWY 422 south into the northern suburbs of the Pittsburgh metro area. Snowfall amounts in this corridor ranged between 2 inches – 4 inches in spots, but amounts quickly tapered off outside of this zone. This was the result of mesoscale banding or when narrow zones of enhanced lift in the low-middle levels of the atmosphere setup in response to winds and moisture moving across a tight temperature gradient. Officially 3.3 inches fell at Pittsburgh International Airport bringing the season total to 33.7 inches.

Most of the snow has ended as of Saturday morning and we should see decreasing clouds and slightly below normal temperatures into Saturday afternoon. Breezy conditions are expected as well with winds out of the northwest around 15 mph. Saturday night into Sunday morning, a fast-moving disturbance will bring a chance of some scattered flurries and snow showers to our far northeast zones.

Warmer winds out of the southwest will start to kick into high gear on Sunday, which will allow a moderating trend in temperatures each day next week. The air will also be dry, and we don’t anticipate any strong systems to head our way, so that should lead to mostly sunny conditions each day Monday through Wednesday. Temperatures will eventually warm back to unseasonable levels too, with mid to upper 60s and possibly the first 70-degree readings of the season by next Tuesday. A weak cold front may drop temperatures a few degrees by Wednesday, but that appears to be the main weather player for the work week at the moment. Afternoon temperatures will likely warm back close to 70 degrees by the end of next week into next weekend. Long range models are suggesting a return to active weather which includes rain, storms, and cooler temperatures toward the middle half of March.

Pittsburgh Marathon organizers open registration for fall 10 Miler

P3R, the organization behind the Pittsburgh Marathon, has opened registration for one of this fall’s largest local races.

Runners can now sign up for the 10 Miler and 10K, scheduled for Nov. 8. P3R expects a record-breaking 6,000 participants at this year’s events, according to spokeswoman Kelsey Emch. The events drew more than 5,500 participants last year.

The 10 Miler course begins at Station Square and travels through the North Shore, the Strip District and Downtown, while the 10K begins on the North Shore near PNC Park and follows the 10 Miler route the rest of the way.

Both races finish on Liberty Avenue Downtown – a common ending point for P3R events.

P3R CEO Troy Schooley said in a release that the 10 Miler and 10K have become a “signature fall tradition” for Pittsburghers of all abilities.

“Whether participants are chasing a personal best, enjoying the event with friends or taking part in the walking division, this race delivers an unforgettable experience while showcasing our city at its very best,” he said.

The 10 Miler costs around $66 per person with processing fees, and the 10K costs around $49. Discounts are available through June 9.

Those interested in participating can register on P3R’s website. Registrants receive complimentary racing bibs, branded long-sleeve shirts, and medals.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts

Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.

The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.

Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.

Why do bees swarm?

Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.

Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.

With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
