Snowfall through area will cause dangerous driving conditions; biggest impact this evening

Snow is moving through the area and will lead to hazardous driving conditions. Snow will block roads and reduce visibility. The most effective snow will fall between 17.00-23.00 this evening, before the most stable snowfall decreases.

Most of the area will see 3-6 inches of snow, with the highest amounts south and east of Pittsburgh. Isolated double-digit totals are possible in the hills of eastern Westmoreland and Fayette counties, which include the ski resorts.

Behind the snow, wind chills will drop below freezing late tonight and Sunday morning could be as cold as -10 degrees. In addition to tonight’s snow, lake-effect snow showers will also begin on Sunday, especially north of Pittsburgh, where additional snow accumulation is expected.

The cold will continue through the start of the work week, but temperatures will climb back above freezing by midweek with rain in the forecast.
