Pittsburgh residents can expect dry conditions throughout today. Still, according to the latest update from the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, a weak front is anticipated to bring some scattered showers, mainly to areas north of the city later tonight. The dry weather will persist until this evening, with mid- and upper-level clouds covering the sky. Despite a cloud-covered sky, temperatures are expected to be mildly warmer than yesterday, owing to a build-up of warm southern air. “With rising heights and warm advection, daytime highs will top out around 5 degrees warmer than observed Saturday,” theNational Weather Servicereported.
As the evening sets in, the area is preparing for an uptick in temperatures into the following week. Tonight’s quick shower chances are mainly expected for regions north of Pittsburgh, marking the onset of a weather pattern heading into the weekend. “The upper ridge axis will shift directly overhead by Sunday morning,” notes theNational Weather Serviceforecast. This movement is poised to gradually lift the cloud deck, with temperatures potentially reaching the mid to upper 50s. A weak cold front crossing the Ohio Valley after 6 PM will catalyze the development of light showers, which should clear by early Monday morning.
The city’s glide into a warming trend is briefly interrupted on Tuesday and Wednesday as a surface low-pressure system, alongside a mid-level shortwave, travels from the southern Plains into the Great Lakes. This weather transition could introduce rain to the Pittsburgh area as early as Tuesday morning and will likely persist into the evening. “Rain will likely linger into the evening/overnight period,” theNational Weather Service’s forecast discussion elaborates. Locals should brace for temperatures soaring to 10-15 degrees above average during this period.
Regarding aviation, Pittsburgh’s air travel should mainly have clear skies with the odd chance of patchy fog in the early morning. VFR (Visual Flight Rules) conditions will likely prevail for most of the week. Some uncertainty creeps in Monday morning when a shortwave and associated surface boundary could increase MVFR (Marginal Visual Flight Rules) potential. A series of increasingly potent low-pressure systems will bring bouts of restrictions, gusty wind, and rain, turning into potential snow showers, according to the aviation section of the forecast provided by the National Weather Service. While early-week flights should be relatively unimpeded, travelers are encouraged to check with airlines for updates as the week progresses and the forecast solidifies.
