Quick round of snow to hit western Pennsylvania Christmas Eve morning. Here's how much we could get.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Monday started off with lows in the teens and single digits, but the Pittsburgh area will see a warm-up as the day goes on. 

Monday, the area will have a little sunshine and then increasing clouds through late afternoon and evening. Highs will be seasonable right around 40 degrees. 

Overnight, a quick round of snow moves in, dropping about 1 to 2 inches mainly north of I-80 and in the Laurel Highlands. It starts a little before midnight and ends right around 5 a.m. Tuesday.
