Pittsburgh, PA – Drivers across western Pennsylvania are waking up to snow showers and hazardous travel conditions this morning, with visibility briefly dropping and slick roads developing during heavier bursts.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, scattered snow showers will continue through the morning hours, with some bands capable of reducing visibility to around a half mile. Forecasters warn that quick snow accumulation on roadways could make driving conditions dangerous, particularly during the early commute.
Radar imagery issued at 9:10 a.m. EST Sunday shows snow showers stretching across portions of Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, Washington, Westmoreland, Indiana, Clarion, and Armstrong counties, including areas near Pittsburgh, New Castle, Latrobe, and Indiana. The heaviest activity appears to be moving through the region in narrow but persistent bands.
While widespread heavy snowfall is not expected, officials caution that even brief snow squalls can rapidly coat roads, leading to sudden changes in driving conditions. Untreated roads, bridges, and overpasses are especially vulnerable.
Motorists are urged to slow down, increase following distance, and allow extra travel time this morning. PennDOT crews remain active monitoring road conditions across the region.
Air temperatures hovering near freezing mean some snow may melt on contact, but colder surfaces could still become slick. Conditions are expected to gradually improve later today as snow showers taper off.
Residents are encouraged to stay alert for updated advisories and check local road conditions before heading out.
