Overview
|
During the day on March the 10th 2024, a strong cold front pushed through the area allowing colder air to infiltrate the region from the northwest. The colder air along with a post frontal trough set the stage for lake enhanced snow showers across the region through the evening on the 10th and overnight into the morning of the 11th. The colder air moving over the very warm waters of Lake Erie led to the development of good instability across the region with some strong snow showers developing during the day and evening of the 10th. Some snow squall warnings and special weather statements were issued. The coldest temperatures and best lift were north of Pittsburgh and to the east along the ridges in PA and WV. The snow squall and snow showers produced heavy snow in the mountains and also impactful amounts in the north along I-80. |
