The NWS also says Tuesday could bring as much as 1 to 5 inches of snow and wind chill temperatures below zero Wednesday.

According the NWS' map, Pittsburgh and areas north of the city are estimated to get between 3 and 5 inches of snow. Areas south of the city, like Washington County, will get between 1 and 3 inches.

Meteorologist Kristin Emery says a clipper system will make its way toward Pittsburgh at the beginning of the week causing the snow and cold temperatures.

"We plunge from 55 (Sunday) all the way to 23 for a high Monday," she said.

The temperatures will continue to drop after that with a high of only 17 degrees Wednesday and Thursday.
