Those headed out today may want to be careful as wintery conditions are expected to make roads slick today.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory that will run through 5:00 tonight for Indiana, Armstrong, Jefferson and portions of Westmoreland County. A wintery mix of precipitation is expected, including up to two inches of snow.
Windy conditions will prevail tomorrow in the southeast corner of the county as that area will be under a high wind advisory that starts at 9:00 tomorrow morning and will continue until 1:00 PM. Winds are expected from the west at 25-30 miles an hour with gusts up to 60 miles an hour possible, and could blow down power lines and trees, causing outages. Travel will also be difficult for high-profile vehicles like tractor trailers during that time.
PennDOT is urging drivers to avoid unnecessary travel and exercise caution while driving today. Road crews have pretreated roads where necessary ahead of the storm to prevent ice formation, but drivers could still encounter icy spots on the roadway, including patches of black ice.
