Pennsylvania – Light snow drifts through downtown streets early this morning, dusting parked cars and softening the edges of bridges and ramps. The air feels biting, breath visible, and pavement slick in spots. Winter remains firmly in control across western Pennsylvania as another round of snow lines up later this week.
According to the National Weather Service, temperatures stay well below normal through midweek. Morning lows dip into the teens and single digits, while daytime highs struggle through the 20s and lower 30s. Any snow that falls will stick quickly, especially before sunrise.
In Pittsburgh, spotty snow and flurries taper off this morning with little accumulation. Even so, flash freezing remains a concern where earlier moisture lingers. Drivers should use caution on I-376, I-279, Route 28, and elevated ramps during early travel.
Midweek brings a brief quiet stretch. Skies turn mostly sunny Wednesday, but the cold deepens at night. Another system approaches late Thursday, bringing increasing clouds and a renewed snow chance Thursday night. Snow showers become more likely Friday, with precipitation chances climbing near 90 percent during the day.
Accumulations appear light to moderate, but timing raises concerns. Snow falling during the Friday commute could slow traffic across Allegheny County and surrounding suburbs. Gusty winds may reduce visibility at times, especially in open areas and along river valleys.
Saturday stays cold with lingering clouds and isolated snow showers. Highs remain near 20, keeping untreated roads icy. Sunday trends slightly brighter but still cold, offering limited relief before the next workweek.
Looking ahead, 6–10 day outlooks hint at a gradual warmup late next week as above-normal temperatures expand east. For now, winter hazards remain the priority. Plan extra travel time late week and keep cold-weather gear handy. Seeing snow where you are this morning? Let us know how conditions look in your neighborhood.
