Bitter Temperatures Moving into Pittsburgh

You better bundle up this week as bitterly cold temperatures are expected to move into the Pittsburgh area.

Dennis Sims, a meteorologist at Air Science Consultants in Bridgeville, told Patch last week that he expected the bitter temperatures to arrive in the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday.

Sims said the middle of the week would have lows in single digits and highs in the teens.

That forecast was backed up by the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh. Meteorologists there are also forecasting 1 to 3 inches of snow on Monday with a slight chance of snow Tuesday.

Look below to see a more detailed forecast…

Monday: Snow. High near 24. Chance of precipitation is 80 percent. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible. Low around 7. Wind chill values as low as -8.

Tuesday: A chance of morning snow shower. Partly sunny, with a high near 11. Low around 5.
