Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Snow showers continue across the region, creating slick spots and sudden visibility changes on area roadways.

According to the National Weather Service Pittsburgh, scattered snow showers remain active across western Pennsylvania and parts of northern West Virginia. While many roads are reported dry and clear, officials warn that localized slick spots remain possible — especially along Interstate 80 and across the Pennsylvania and West Virginia ridges.

Weather officials say the snow showers can lead to rapidly changing visibility and isolated hazardous driving conditions. Radar imagery shows bands of snow moving through the region, with fluctuating intensity that may briefly reduce visibility for drivers.

The primary concern is sudden changes in road conditions. Even where pavement appears clear, brief bursts of snowfall could create slippery stretches, particularly on elevated surfaces, bridges, and untreated secondary roads.

Interstate corridors and ridge-top routes are more susceptible due to colder surface temperatures and elevation-related accumulation patterns. Motorists traveling along I-80 and through higher terrain areas should remain alert for changing conditions.

Commuters, students, and evening drivers should allow extra travel time and remain cautious when encountering heavier snow bands.

The National Weather Service has not issued additional alerts at this time but continues monitoring conditions across the region.
