Winter Weather Advisory
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
December 23, 2024 - 11:42am
Expires:
December 23, 2024 - 7:45pm
Description:
Heavy snow is expected overnight along and near Interstate 80.
Although there is high confidence that snow amounts in the
Interstate 80 area should remain at or below three inches, the heavy
snow will fall in a short time period (just a few hours), leading to
rapid buildup on roads.
In the ridges, a brief burst of snow is possible just before
sunrise, with a rapid transition to a prolonged period of freezing
drizzle, which could lead to a light glaze of ice by late Tuesday
morning.
* WHAT...Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations up
to one inch and ice accumulations around a light glaze.
* WHERE...Higher Elevations of Fayette and Higher Elevations of
Westmoreland Counties.
* WHEN...From 4 AM to 7 PM EST Tuesday.
* IMPACTS...Plan on slippery road conditions, which could impact
holiday travel.
Instruction:
Please report snow or ice accumulations by calling 412-262-1988,
