Pittsburgh, PA – Snowfall is in the forecast for Pennsylvania, Ohio, and parts of New York this weekend, raising the possibility of a white Christmas in these states. Colder air and precipitation patterns are creating conditions favorable for snow on Christmas morning.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), areas in Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and upstate New York have the best chances for snow accumulations, particularly in regions along Lake Erie and higher elevations in the Appalachian Mountains. While rain will dominate areas farther west, temperatures in these states may drop enough for snow showers to develop late on Christmas Eve into the morning hours.
The heaviest snow is expected in New York’s snowbelt areas, while northeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania may experience lighter but steady snowfall. Travelers in these regions are urged to prepare for slick roadways and potential delays. NWS also warns that icy conditions could develop overnight as rain transitions to snow in colder areas.
By early next week, temperatures are forecast to rise, with milder conditions returning across the Northeast and Midwest. However, those planning holiday travel should stay updated on the latest weather reports and road conditions to navigate safely through the weekend.
Stay informed about snow alerts and travel advisories for your area as Christmas approaches. Drive carefully and plan ahead to enjoy a safe and festive holiday season.
