In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a Winter Weather Advisory predicts snow accumulations between 3 and 7 inches in Forest, Mercer, and Venango Counties, accompanied by gusting winds up to 35 mph. Travel difficulties are anticipated due to scattered snow showers and the development of lake-effect snow bands, which could reduce visibility and create hazardous conditions.
