PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - It's not going to be too pleasant for those stuck outside for extended amounts of time today.

Daily average High: 46  Low: 31
Sunrise: 7:22 Sunset: 4:56

Any Alert Days Ahead?: Today's a First Alert Weather Day due to snow and cold temperatures in place.

Aware: The coldest weather of this round will happen on Wednesday morning.

Temperatures will hover in the mid to low 20s for the day, with gusty winds topping 30 mph. Some places in the Laurels could see winds gusting past 40 mph. On top of the cold weather, off and on and intense snow bands are expected to be around for most of the day. Today's going to be one of those days where you go from little to no snow to heavy snow within seconds. This will create hazardous conditions for anyone out on area roads. Visibilities also will be limited at times due to heavy snow.

The rest of the day will be spent in the mid to low 20s. Afternoon temperatures should be in the mid-20s but will feel like it's in single digits for those stuck outside without proper protection.
