PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – It will be another cold day with lower than normal highs around freezing.
We will have a weak nuisance that will move during this afternoon, causing scattered snow showers and even a winter mix for southern and eastern areas, but the good news is that the models have re-marked the snow totals, so little or no accumulation is expected.

The only concern is for steep roads on bridges and overpasses and any untreated surface.
The dry air moves on Sunday, so it will be a quiet day before starting large amounts of snow for the start of the week.
The various snow waves we are seeing arrive late on Sunday and last until Tuesday.

From Monday to Tuesday there is still uncertainty.
What we do know is that a large area of low pressure will affect us, but where cutting by rain and snow is important.
Monday morning, for anyone traveling home, it looks like it will have heavy snow that will take an inch or more in no time.

There will be a short break in the afternoon as we enter a dry groove and then more snow, sleet and even rain / frost moves from the south.
It all depends on how far the warm air reaches the north, as this could cause the total snow to fall.
Areas north of I-80 should keep all the snow with significant amounts of snow, while areas south and even in Pittsburgh will see this mixture of sleet and even icy rain.

It is still too early to reduce exactly the amount of snow on the road, but we will be impacted and the trips will be dangerous.
Models point to about 3-6 “in our region for Monday, with higher amounts in the north and even a bit of ice buildup mixed with it.
The system seems to end on Tuesday afternoon and evening and then we will dry up by Wednesday.

Another important thing is a freezing Wednesday morning, as lows appear to be dropping close to the digits before seeing the hottest day of the day on Thursday with highs in the mid-30s or higher, but another winter mix sweeps the region at the end of the week.
