As Pittsburgh residents look up at the sky, they might think it's time to dust off those umbrellas and raincoats. According to the latest weather forecast released at 7:01 am EDT on April 9th, 2025, the city expects a streak of wet weather. The day's forecast anticipates increasing clouds with a calm breeze turning westerly, setting the stage for a series of showers to hit the area throughout the coming week.
The National Weather Service predicts an 80% chance of precipitation tonight, with showers and a low of around 39 degrees anticipated. These showers are expected to carry into Thursday, which has a forecasted high near 55 degrees. According to officials, even stronger winds could reach up to 20 mph. During the following days, Pittsburgh will likely see a familiar pattern: cloudy skies, chances of showers continuing, and temperatures hovering in the low 50s to high 40s.
Friday's outlook isn't much different, with the National Weather Service indicating showers likely mainly after 2 pm. At the same time, the weekend also looks damp, with a 50% chance of rain during the day on Saturday and cloudy conditions at night. But there is a silver lining on the horizon with Sunday warming up, giving way to partly sunny skies and higher temps nearly reaching 60.
Come Monday, Pittsburgh should see welcomed relief from the rain with mostly sunny weather and a spring-like high near 72. However, the chance of showers creeps back into the forecast Monday night, with a possibility of rain lingering into Tuesday. The brief resurgence of spring seems almost like a tease as the possibility of rain settles in once again for the early part of next week. According to the forecast, there could be more showers on Tuesdays with temperatures in the upper 60s.
Overall, Pittsburgh residents should keep their rain gear handy and perhaps indulge in the warmth of Monday's sunny interval. While the showers seem inevitable, the ebb and flow of the spring weather promises a mix of temperate days and rainy evenings as the spring season comes into full swing.
