Pittsburgh, PA – Snow showers and plummeting temperatures are set to impact Pittsburgh and surrounding areas starting Friday morning. A low-pressure system will bring light snowfall for most regions, with higher accumulations likely in areas north of I-80 and the Appalachian ridges.
According to the National Weather Service, snowfall could begin as early as Friday morning, intensifying into Friday night. Roads along and north of I-80 are expected to be particularly affected, with several inches of snow accumulation possible. Drivers should prepare for slick conditions and reduced visibility during the evening commute Friday and into Saturday morning.
The detailed forecast shows a high of 38°F on Friday with light snow showers likely by late morning, continuing overnight. Wind gusts could reach up to 22 mph, making outdoor conditions even colder. Saturday will remain partly sunny but cold, with highs near 29°F and lingering snow in the early morning.
For those planning travel, caution is advised, particularly along higher-elevation roads where icy patches and snow bands may form. Calm conditions are expected to return Sunday, with highs near 25°F under mostly sunny skies.
Residents should monitor local forecasts for updates and prepare winter safety kits for their vehicles, including blankets, flashlights, and non-perishable snacks. To minimize delays, Pennsylvania road crews are expected to treat major routes in advance of the weather system.
