PITTSBURGH — Allow extra time to clean off your car and shovel your sidewalk. The steadiest snow will taper to spotty snow showers and flurries the will linger through the day.
Colder temperatures and wind will be the weather headline for the daytime Saturday with wind chills in the single digits much of the day. You’ll need the winter coats, hats, gloves, and hand warmers if you’re headed out anywhere.
A few more snow showers will be possible during the day Sunday, but any accumulation should be minimal. 50s return to the area Monday.
