Pittsburgh, PA – A winter weather advisory remains in effect across Pennsylvania, bringing snowfall and hazardous travel conditions to major roadways, including I-80 and I-79. The advisory is active through early Sunday, with snow accumulations of up to 5 inches expected in some areas.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), snow bands stretching from eastern Ohio into western Pennsylvania are already creating slick roadways.
