Winter Weather Advisory Until This Afternoon

Locals woke up to a late blast of spring snow this morning.

Fortunately, the most intense snow accumulations—about 3 to 5 inches total—are expected this morning, before diminishing.

The National Weather Service in Moon Township has cancelled a winter storm warning, but a winter weather advisory remains in effect until 2 p.m. for southwestern Pennsylvania, including Allegheny, Beaver and Butler counties. 

A winter weather advisory means that snow will cause travel difficulties so use caution while driving.
