@iembot_ctp has suffered a malfunction and is not posting any weather announcements. I will attempt to fix it later today. My apologies for the inconvenience.
The 10th street bypass in #Pittsburgh. This is at a foot above "minor" flood stage, and the peak is projected to be another foot higher, just below "moderate".
There's a wide range of model forecast rainfall amounts for Saturday, depending on each model's forecast position of the jet. As little as 0.7" to 2" is forecast. Hopefully, we'll have some clarification later.
Today's NAM-NEST has joined yesterday's ECMWF in forecasting light drizzle or rain as early as 11 AM Saturday. Likely time is 11 AM to 2 PM.
To focus on System 2 (Friday night into Saturday), it will be a fast moving system, but the latest models are showing a trend towards increased moisture and snowfall.

Definitely a windy day out there. I-90 at the PA/NY state line was closed due to 3 trucks being blown off the road. A grocery store in North East, PA had power lines crash thru it. About 20% of Erie County, PA and Chautaqua County, NY is without power. PA 5 and PA 89 was closed due to trees on the road. Dunkirk, NY recorded a 74mph wind gust before it got knocked offline.
I-86 and I-90 have Tier 2 restrictions in place for PA.
This is a French Toast 2 alert, repeating, this is a French Toast 2 alert. Please proceed to your nearest grocery store and purchase two loaves of bread, two dozen eggs, and a gallon of milk.
And don't forget the toilet paper. <sarcasm mode off>
(Yes the weather is going to be bad in central and eastern PA today and tonight. Please allow road crews time and space to clear the roads.) #pawx
There are some unexpected changes in the forecast, based on this afternoon's models.

Both this afternoon's GFS and NAM show the storm undergoing intensification Sunday afternoon with the possibility of prolonged snowfall from wrap around precipitation. ... https://theweatherguy.net/blog/?p=19308
