Freezing Rain Expected Sunday Night

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – You will likely want to stay off the road starting Sunday night.

The National Weather Service has issued a freezing rain advisory that goes into effect 7 p.m. Sunday until 1 p.m. Monday.

However, the NWS says freezing rain will start to hit Ohio around 7 p.m. and won't likely affect the Pittsburgh area until 9 p.m.

Officials say to use caution walking or driving on roads that appear wet or icy.

Meteorologist Kristin Emery says by late night, the moisture will turn to snow.

"This means a slick, wintery commute for Monday morning," said Emery.

Areas north of the city are expected to get 1 to 2 inches of accumulation.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be dry, with temperatures rising into the 30s this week.
