Pittsburgh, PA – Residents across western Pennsylvania could see a brief dusting of snow tonight, but forecasters say measurable accumulation is unlikely for most communities, including Pittsburgh, as the region heads into early Sunday.

According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, probabilities for at least 0.1 inch of snowfall remain generally low across much of the area, with the highest chances concentrated north of Interstate 80. Even there, snowfall odds stay below 20%, limiting the potential for widespread impacts.

Forecast maps show cities such as Pittsburgh, Washington, Greensburg, and Wheeling holding a 40–60% chance of a trace or light coating, while chances drop significantly farther south and west. Areas including Clarion, DuBois, and parts of north-central Pennsylvania carry slightly better odds, but still fall short of typical accumulation thresholds.

The probability of 1 inch of snow or more is minimal across nearly the entire forecast area, with only isolated northern pockets showing low-end potential. Forecasters note that any snow that does fall will likely be light, intermittent, and short-lived, mainly overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning.

Road conditions are expected to remain mostly manageable, though drivers in northern counties near I-80 should stay alert for brief slick spots, especially on untreated secondary roads and bridges.

Temperatures overnight will hover near freezing, allowing snowflakes to mix in briefly before tapering off by Sunday morning. No winter weather advisories or warnings have been issued as of Saturday evening.
