Clouds are parked over Pittsburgh this morning, with temperatures sitting in the mid-20s and a light northwest breeze cutting through the chill. Scattered snow showers will pop up through early afternoon, but they should be brief and hit-or-miss. Most neighborhoods will see little to no accumulation, though any untreated pavement could turn slick for a bit.
What To Expect Today
Snow showers are most likely before 2 p.m., with an afternoon high near 30°F and northwest winds around 10 mph. New snow accumulation should stay under half an inch for most of the metro, while the higher elevations might squeeze out a bit more. That forecast comes from the National Weather Service Pittsburgh.
This Weekend And Next Week
Colder air does not stick around long. The pattern turns milder Saturday into next week, with highs around 45°F on Saturday and into the 40s on Sunday. By Tuesday or Wednesday, mid-50s are on the table. A southern-stream system may bring rain Sunday, with a chance of light rain after about 7 a.m. and a high near 46°F. If that precipitation reaches the ridges, it could start as a brief wintry mix. Forecasters note that both the warming trend and the exact Sunday timing still carry some uncertainty, so it is worth checking in with the National Weather Service Pittsburgh for updates.
Commute And Local Tips
Travel issues should be minor, but drivers should keep an eye out for slick spots on bridges and untreated roads during and shortly after any snow shower. If you are planning to be outside this weekend, count on a milder and potentially wetter setup Sunday, and give the forecast a quick look before heading out. For flights or longer trips, double-check with your airline and official weather sources first thing in the morning.
