PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Winter Weather Advisories are in effect until 10:00 p.m. tonight.

This area of low pressure is bringing snow at a rate of 1-2" per hour through the morning and afternoon.
This afternoon, a warm front will lift into the region, leaving areas south of Pittsburgh with a mix and even a brief period of freezing rain.
Less than a 1/10" of ice accumulation is expected, but roads will still be icy and slushy.
With temperatures around the freezing mark and even slightly above, this could take down snow totals for areas south of Pittsburgh to about 2-4".
