After sunshine and moderate temperatures on Monday, Mon Valley residents should get ready to bundle up as subzero conditions move in. 

A hazardous weather outlook was issued Monday morning by the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh.

According to the release, Allegheny, Fayette, Washington and Westmoreland counties are among several others that will be affected by snow and bitter cold temperatures beginning today.

Evan Bookbinder, a meteorologist with the NWS in Pittsburgh, said a cold front will sweep cooler air into the region, bringing a rain/snow mix behind it.
