Pittsburgh, PA – A shifting weather pattern this evening is bringing scattered showers across the Pittsburgh metro, with some areas expected to see a mix of rain and snow overnight—especially north of the I-76 corridor.

According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, showers will continue through tonight, though dry air is currently limiting how much precipitation is reaching the ground. As temperatures drop later this evening, some of the heavier showers may begin to mix with or change over to snow, mainly in higher elevations and areas north of the city.

Forecasters say any snow accumulation is expected to be minimal, with light coatings most likely on grassy surfaces in ridges and المناطق north of I-76. Road impacts appear limited at this time, but drivers traveling along I-76 and nearby routes late tonight into early Monday should remain alert for brief changes in visibility or slick spots in isolated areas.

The transition from rain to a rain-snow mix is expected to occur gradually through the evening hours, with precipitation tapering off closer to sunrise Monday. Shower coverage is also expected to decrease by early morning, improving conditions for the start of the workweek commute.

While widespread travel disruptions are not anticipated, the timing of colder air and spotty precipitation could create localized hazards, particularly in less urbanized areas north of Pittsburgh.

Residents are encouraged to monitor updated forecasts and use caution if traveling late tonight, especially along higher elevation roadways.
