Parts of Pittsburgh region could see snow next 2 days

Western Pennsylvania could see its first significant snowfall of the season Monday and Tuesday, though totals are expected to vary widely across the region, forecasters say.

Snow is expected in the northern and eastern parts of Southwestern Pennsylvania, as well as areas of higher elevation in Fayette County and parts of West Virginia, according to the Pittsburgh office of the National Weather Service.

Accumulation totals will vary, with more snow north of Pittsburgh, and some higher totals in elevated sections of Fayette, Indiana and Westmoreland counties.

The weather service said Latrobe could see 0.3 inches of snow. Uniontown could see 0.4 inches and Indiana could see half an inch.

Also, on Tue afternoon, as a second surge of cold air advances SE across Lake Erie, there is potential for snow squalls, with gusty wind and rapid drop in visibility.

If you plan to be driving in the I-80 corridor on Tue afternoon, we urge you to stay tuned for forecast updates!

The most snow in the weather service coverage area will likely hit in the northern parts of the region. Oil City is expected to see 2 inches of snow and New Castle could get 0.7 inches.

The city of Pittsburgh is expected to see only 0.2 inches of snow and areas to the south and west will likely avoid snow.

There is a possibility that the majority of Southwestern Pennsylvania could avoid seeing snow.

Accumulation is supposed to last from 7 a.m. Monday through 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to the weather service.

Wind gusts could hit 30 mph and the weather service said snow squalls could lead to heightened travel advisories and the potential for slick roadways. The highest chance of snow squalls will occur on Tuesday afternoon.

The weather service advises drivers taking the Interstate 80 corridor to watch for weather updates.
