The Pittsburgh area is under a winter weather advisory with snow and high winds expected

A winter weather advisory is in place for the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday with snow and high winds expected to move through western Pennsylvania.

The National Weather Service issued the winter weather advisory for all of western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and the West Virginia panhandle. The advisory for Pittsburgh was issued through 4 a.m. with an advisory for higher elevation areas in place through 5 p.m. on Tuesday.

Parts of the Pittsburgh area could see snow accumulations between one and three inches along with winds gusting as high as 40 miles per hour, the NWS said in the advisory.

"Plan on slippery road conditions," the advisory said. "The hazardous conditions will impact the Tuesday morning and evening commutes."

With winter weather expected to hit the region, a number of school districts in the area have issued delays or adjusted plans for Tuesday.

Highs today will just be in the mid-20s with morning temperatures in the low 20s. Wind chills early in the day were way down to 10 degrees.  

As more winter weather is set to move through the area, thousands of Duquesne Light customers remain without power stemming from Friday's high winds that brought down trees and power lines.
