PITTSBURGH, PA – Light snow swirls through the early morning air across western Pennsylvania, dusting cars and lawns while the wind whistles between neighborhoods from Coraopolis to Monroeville. Road salt crunches under tires, and headlights slice through flurries as the season’s first measurable snow briefly slicks bridges and hillsides — a classic November wake-up for the Steel City.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, scattered snow showers could leave up to an inch of accumulation on grassy and elevated surfaces through this morning, with temperatures near 25°F and west winds gusting to 30 mph. Drivers on I-79, I-376, and the Parkway West should watch for icy patches, particularly on shaded or untreated stretches. The snow tapers by midday, giving way to breezy sunshine for afternoon Veterans Day events.
By Wednesday, milder air noses in from the south, lifting highs toward the upper 40s with a brief mix of rain and wet snow possible north of the city. Thursday and Friday look brighter and warmer, climbing into the low to mid-50s — perfect for outdoor chores or pre-holiday travel plans.
Looking further ahead, long-range models hint at a “winter tease” around the Thanksgiving corridor, where another push of colder air may bring renewed snow chances across the Laurel Highlands and Ohio Valley. For now, residents can expect a brisk and wintry day that fades into a calmer stretch midweek — but this morning’s snow serves as a clear reminder: Western Pennsylvania’s winter is waking up.
