The morning commute is when we will see the heaviest of the snow.

Travel will be hazardous and tricky, so it is best to avoid going out as much as possible until later in the day. Once we move into the afternoon, snow showers linger but should lighten up.

Travel should improve later in the day. Snow totals appear to be in the 4-8″ range for most of Western Pennsylvania where a winter weather advisory is in place. Meanwhile, the higher elevations have a winter storm warning and could see 5-10″. 

Temperatures will start off in the upper 20s and stay that way during the afternoon but fall into the teens by the late evening.
