Pittsburgh Enjoys Seasonable Warmth Before Sunday Rain, Says National Weather Service

The Pittsburgh area is bracing for a change in weather, with forecasts signaling a calm-before-the-storm scenario. According to the

National Weather Service

Pittsburgh, PA, the region can enjoy a brief respite with dry and seasonably warm conditions through Saturday. However, rain is predicted to come back by Sunday, potentially affecting weekend plans for outdoor activities.

For today, Dry and more seasonable weather is expected, with the cold front slowly moving southward, allowing cooler air to overspread the Upper Ohio Valley. This will ultimately bring temperatures back closer to seasonal norms, though they will remain slightly above the typical range for this time of year. Meanwhile, Friday is anticipated to stay warm, albeit presenting the potential for gusty conditions, especially north of Interstate 70, where there is a greater than 50% chance for gusts over 20 mph, as delineated by the weather service’s advisory.

As Saturday rolls in, the weather story continues with more warmth and dry conditions. Mornings might notably start chilly, particularly in the north, where temperatures could nearly approach the freezing mark. But as Saturday progresses, a high-pressure system will gradually drift eastward, setting the stage for the change in weather patterns. Saturday night anticipates increased cloud cover, with rain chances escalating west to east by early Sunday.

Looking at the longer term, “Rain returns Sunday,” according to the

National Weather Service

, with rain totals expected to be between 0.25-0.50 inches. While early next week may usher in a return to dry and mild conditions, uncertainty remains as long-range forecasts show diverse possibilities for mid-week.
