A Winter Storm Watch will be in effect for all of Southwestern Pennsylvania from 7 p.m. Saturday to 2 p.m. Monday.

Off and on light snow will continue throughout the morning, with a couple of heavier snow showers possible around midday.
A fresh coating of up to an inch of snow fell overnight for most of the region. That, combined with the falling temperatures, will lead to some icy spots, especially in areas where roads haven’t been treated.
While temperatures will be several degrees above freezing today, watch as brief bursts of snow could develop (snow squalls), particularly for areas north of Pittsburgh in the afternoon.
Temperatures will rise closer to freezing this afternoon thanks to a southwest breeze, but wind chills will stay in the low to mid 20s.
