There could be very little rush to the Monday morning rush hour. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory from 1 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday for most of western Pennsylvania, including Pittsburgh's South Hills area.
A mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain is expected overnight into Monday morning. Because of a very cold ground and snow pack, roads and sidewalks are expected to be icy.
Here's a look at, roughly, the Baldwin-Whitehall forecast through Wednesday night from the National Weather Service:
- Sunday Night—Snow and freezing rain, mainly after 1 a.m. Low around 29. Southeast wind of around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half-inch is possible.
