PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – It will be another chilly day with normal peaks around freezing.
We will have a weak disturbance this afternoon that will continue, with scattered snow showers and even a winter mix for the areas south and east, but good news is that the models have reversed snow totals so little to no accumulation is to be expected .

The only concern is slippery roads on bridges and viaducts and untreated surfaces.
Dry air moves on Sundays, so it will be a calm day before there are big snow totals for the start of the week.
The various snow waves we see arrive late on Sunday and last until Tuesday!

There is still uncertainty from Monday to Tuesday.
What we know is that a large area of low pressure will affect us, but where the separation for rain and snow is important.
Monday morning for anyone commuting to encounter heavy snow in a short time and pick up an inch or more.

There is a little break in the afternoon as we enter a dry trench and then more snow, sleet and even rain / sleet comes in from the south.
It all depends on how far north the warm air reaches, as that could lower snow totals.
Areas north of I-80 should remain all snow with significant amounts of snow, while areas south and even Pittsburgh will see that mix of sleet and even icy rain.

It is too early to determine exactly how much snow is on the way, but we will be affected and travel will be dangerous.
Models point to about 3-6 ″ in our area for Monday with higher amounts north and even some ice build-up mixed in.
The system seems to be ready on Tuesday afternoon and evening and we will then dry out for Wednesday.

Another big thing is a new freeze on Wednesday morning as lows seem to plummet near the single digits before seeing the hottest day in a while on Thursday with highs in the mid 30s, but a different winter mix follows by the region before the end of the week.
