Advisory/Forecast: Expect Lots of Snow This Weekend

Two Clipper-type systems will mean lots of snow in western Pennsylvania this weekend, according to the National Weather Service.

A winter weather advisory for snow is in effect from 10 a.m. on Saturday to 7 p.m. on Sunday. The weather service forecasts snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches, and those totals could go as high as 6 to 10 inches in higher-ridge elevations.

The snow will begin mid-morning Saturday and end Sunday evening, with the heaviest snow coming on Saturday afternoon into midday Sunday, the NWS states on its website.

A winter weather advisory for snow means that snowfall will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for snow-covered roads and limited visibility.

Here's a look at, roughly, the Baldwin-Whitehall forecast through Sunday night from the National Weather Service:

• Friday—Mostly cloudy, with a high near 16. Wind chill values as low as -2. West wind of around 14 mph.
• Friday Night—Mostly cloudy, with a low around 5. Wind chill values as low as -6. Southwest wind of 7 to 9 mph.
