Residents of Pittsburgh should expect scattered rain showers throughout the day, extending into the overnight hours. According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, temperatures will stubbornly cling above normal despite the wet weather. The forecast, published early this morning, includes a weak shortwave trough that will bring showers and a plume of deep moisture to the area. Rainfall amounts are predicted to be lighter, with the heaviest precipitation expected to hit Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania. The National Weather Service also warns of gusty winds, with some areas potentially experiencing gusts greater than 30 mph.
The chances of rain will gradually fade into the evening and Friday, mainly in the south of Pittsburgh. High pressure is forecasted to bring cooler but dry conditions by Friday. Despite the passage of a cold front and an infusion of cooler air from the north, high temperatures on Thursday are still expected to stay well above the seasonal average. It’s likely to remain dry and warm through at least early Saturday, an unusual trend for this time of year that the city is set to witness.
For travelers and aviators, the weather conditions could lead to some complications. Showers coupled with potential MVFR (marginal visual flight rules) cloud ceilings are anticipated throughout the morning, shifting to possible IFR (instrument flight rules) conditions later in the evening and overnight. High pressure will return more favorable VFR (visual flight rules) weather from Thursday through Saturday. However, low pressure is forecasted to bring rain by Sunday, which could impact flight visibility and plans again. As reported by The National Weather Service, these details suggest travelers should stay informed about the latest weather developments.
No warnings or advisories are currently in place for Pittsburgh and surrounding areas in Ohio and West Virginia. Throughout the week, it’s advisable for residents and travelers to keep up with the latest forecasts, be prepared for unpredictable weather, and plan accordingly for any transportation disruptions.
