Winter Storm Bearing Down On Region

It looks like there is no getting away from this one.  A Winter Storm Watch will be in effect for all of Southwestern Pennsylvania from 7 p.m. Saturday to 1 p.m. Monday as we await the arrival of significant amounts of snow.  National Weather Service Meteorologist Bill Modzelewski in Pittsburgh, tells WJPA that although there’s a slim chance the track could change – they are pretty sure they nailed the expected snow totals of between eight and twelve inches, with Washington County likely see the higher amounts of snowfall.  On the up side, however, Modzelewski says this storm will bring the white fluffy snow, as opposed to the heavier snow that can often feel like cement.  Periods of snow will develop late Saturday night and continue into Sunday, where there is potential for heavy snow of at least six inches, especially east and south of Pittsburgh. Some areas could get even more than that, particularly by Sunday evening. Tune to WJPA 95.3FM/1450AM or wjpa.com for the very latest  storm information.
