The new year is expected to get off to a frigid start as a cold front coming down from Canada is forecast to bring below-freezing temperatures to the Pittsburgh area — along with a large swath of the east coast.
Beginning News Year’s Day, temperatures are expected to drop into the low 30s or upper 20s in the daytime and may drop into the teens at night, which is expected to continue through next week but could extend through a large portion of early January, said Tim Cermak, meteorologist with the Pittsburgh office of the National Weather Service.
It remains unclear how long the large trough — an area of low pressure that follows a cold front — will lead to low temperatures in southwestern Pennsylvania, but current models lean toward an extended chilly start to 2025.
“I would say there’s growing confidence that we’re going to have more colder days than we are not through the first half of the month of January,” Mr. Cermak said.
