Pittsburgh Weather: Early Rain And Snow Could Lead To Slick Morning Commute
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - We're ending the Christmas holiday weekend on a quiet and cooler note but we'll start off Monday early morning with some rain/snow showers across the region.

An area of low pressure will approach from the west overnight and we'll start to see a few showers by 4:00-5:00 a.m.
Temperatures will be cold enough north of Pittsburgh and in the Laurel Highlands that we could see this start as a period of snow showers and even from freezing rain/ice.
We're expecting up to 1" of snow to fall (will mostly melt or be slushy) with a glaze of ice possible in spots.
This will prompt a winter weather advisory for areas north and east from 6:00 a.m. Monday through lunchtime.
Be extra cautious on sidewalks, driveways, and on the roads in these areas until mid-morning when temperatures will be much warmer.
Rain showers stick around off and on through Monday afternoon and the overall pattern remains mild but wet and unsettled most of the week to round out 2021.
