Pittsburgh could have its first snow of the season by tomorrow, but you'll have to be up early to see it.
As a nor'easter moves through the Ohio Valley, bringing rain and colder temperatures, there is a chance
for much of the area to see its first flakes, according to the National Weather Service office in Pittsburgh.
Here's when the chances for snow are highest ahead of the weekend.
Will it snow this weekend in Pittsburgh?
Snow could fall in Pittsburgh sometime between 5 a.m. and before 9 a.m. on Nov. 13, according to NWS. There was little to no potential for it to accumulate, though other areas outside of Pittsburgh with higher elevations, like West Virginia's ridges, could see a small accumulation.
While the potential for snow is limited, the nor'easter brought wet weather overnight on Nov. 11, with rain expected to continue into Saturday, Nov. 14. The storm was expected to exit the region by Nov. 15, with the week likely to begin with dry weather.
