A strong weather system will move through our area over the next few days.  As a result, a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from one a.m. Tuesday until 7 a.m. Wednesday.  In addition, a Winter Storm Warning will go into effect for Mercer and Venango Counties as well as the ridges of Westmoreland and Fayette Counties at 1 a.m. Tuesday and continue until 7 a.m. Wednesday.  Snow will fall throughout the morning Tuesday and continuing into Tuesday night. Parts of Mercer and Venango Counties could see 5 to 7 inches of snow through Wednesday morning. The ridges could also see up to 7 inches in spots. Parts of Lawrence and Butler Counties could see 3 to 6 inches of snow. The rest of the area will range from 2 to 5 inches, depending on your location.  Use caution if you’re traveling early Tuesday as there could be some icy spots. Air temperatures will be cooling below freezing and any moisture or snow on the road will make it slick. Along with the snow, the wind will be strong and could lead to blowing snow and reduced visibility with wind gusts around 30 mph.
