Pennsylvania — Streetlights glow against thickening flakes as snow begins to redevelop across western Pennsylvania, signaling a fast-moving winter shift.
Snow showers increase later today and continue into Sunday morning, with 1 to 4 inches likely across much of the Pittsburgh region. Higher totals approach 5 to 6 inches in nearby hills, especially toward the Laurel Highlands and along favored lake-effect corridors. Roads could turn slick quickly this evening as pavement temperatures drop.
Meteorologists say the steadiest snowfall arrives through the evening hours, then tapers into scattered snow showers by early Sunday. Visibility may drop suddenly during heavier bursts. Drivers should plan extra time and watch bridges, ramps, and untreated secondary roads. Even light snow can create black ice once traffic compresses it.
By Sunday morning, lighter snow lingers, but travel impacts remain possible. Gusty northwest winds add a biting edge, pushing wind chills into the teens. Snow belts closer to the Great Lakes could still see locally higher totals through midday.
Sunday afternoon brings gradual improvement. Clouds thin at times, though flurries may persist. Temperatures stay below freezing, limiting melt. Any daytime thaw could refreeze after sunset, setting up slick spots again Sunday night.
Monday offers a reset. Skies turn sunnier and calmer, with highs rebounding into the lower 40s. That quieter stretch extends into Tuesday before another mild warming trend midweek. No major storms are signaled immediately, but December patterns remain active.
For now, winter driving habits matter most. Slow down tonight, keep headlights on, and leave extra distance.
Are you seeing accumulating snow where you live, or just flakes for now?
