The Pittsburgh region received a weekend blast of winter weather, including heavy snowfall in many places south of Pittsburgh. KDKA-TV's Chilekasi Adele reports from Washington County.

Snow was moving through the Pittsburgh area Saturday night and was expected to continue into early Sunday morning.

Much of the area saw 5 inches of snow or more Saturday, and wind chills are now dropping to near zero. Feels-like temps will barely improve throughout the afternoon and evening.

Snow begins around 4 on Saturday afternoon and continues through the evening. Snow from the mid-level low will end before 4 a.m. on Sunday, but lake effect snow will likely continue through Monday morning. The biggest impact from the weekend snow will occur from 5 p.m. on Saturday through around 6 a.m. on Sunday, with snow-covered roads possible.

Pittsburgh is covered in snow with a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 1 PM, causing challenging commutes.

Heavy snow covered the Pittsburgh region on Saturday, prompting a First Alert Weather Day. KDKA-TV's Chilekasi Adele, Shelley Bortz and First Alert Meteorologist Trey Fulbright have team coverage.

PennDOT initially reduced the speed limit to 45 mph on I-376, I-279, I-579, I-70, I-79 and Route 28 due to the snowstorm in Western Pennsylvania.

The National Weather Service forecasts snow and gusty winds for Pittsburgh, with varying accumulations expected.
