Between 6 and 9 inches of snow blanketed the Pittsburgh region by late Monday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. However, isolated bands of snow might have dealt a couple additional inches to pockets of Allegheny County.
Light flurries are expected to taper off Monday evening as drier weather continues to move into the region.
NWS meteorologist Shannon Hefferan said Monday night’s temperatures would be in the low 20s. On Tuesday the weather is expected to warm to just above freezing, “so all the snow is going to stick around.”
Gusty winds might blow some snow onto the roadways obstructing visibility. Motorists should take care when driving on unplowed streets where they might hit icy patches.
On Wednesday, a cold front is projected to bring rain mixed with some snow. Temperatures towards the middle of the week might reach into the high 30s and low 40s before dropping into the single digits on Thursday and Friday nights.
According to NWS, the last time the Pittsburgh region got this much snow was in December of 2020 when parts of Allegheny County were covered in more than a foot of snow.
