As much of the meteorological world focuses on the potential for heavy snow in the southern United States this weekend, here in Pittsburgh we are preparing\u00a0for a few inches of our own. A fast moving wave will bring a general coating to 2″ of snow to the area between lunchtime today and late this evening (The National Weather Service’s Pittsburgh office is calling for the heaviest snow to arrive between 1pm and 3pm, while WTAE-TV predicts the worst of it to arrive at 6pm). Below are the snow maps for today’s accumulation; be sure to check back with us tomorrow morning as we assign accuracy scores to the maps in order to update the Forecaster Ratings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
