Sunday, February 15, 2026 - Pittsburgh is waking up to clouds and cool air, with a damp twist on the way. Temperatures sit around 39°F at the KAGC station, with a high near 44°F expected later today as rain chances ramp up. Showers are most likely between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and any spots that get steady rain could be dealing with fog tonight. Afternoon drivers should plan for wet roads and slower commutes.
Afternoon Rain Likely
The main window for rain runs from late morning through late afternoon, roughly 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Most neighborhoods are looking at only a few tenths of an inch of rain - on the order of a tenth to a quarter inch - with the steadiest showers expected south of I-80. Some of the higher ridges could briefly see a rain and snow mix if temperatures hang near the edge, but the valleys are expected to stay all rain. The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh highlights the midday and afternoon hours as the prime time for wet weather.
Week Ahead: Warmup Then More Rain
After today, the region heads into a quick warmup. High temperatures are expected to reach near 49°F on Monday, climb to around 56°F on Tuesday and push into the upper 50s on Wednesday before another round of rain moves in midweek. The milder pattern follows the earlier cold snap this month and will speed up snowmelt wherever snow is still hanging on.

Fog Tonight Could Slow Commutes
As dew points rise and rain falls on leftover snowpack, areas of fog are likely to develop late Sunday into Monday morning. Pockets of dense fog are possible where the rain is heaviest, and visibility could drop to around a half mile in some locations. Low ceilings and MVFR or IFR conditions may affect regional airports overnight. The National Weather Service advises giving yourself extra time, checking conditions before you head out and being ready for slower going on the roads and in the air.
Quick Tips
Keep a waterproof layer handy, and build in a little extra time for afternoon plans and the evening commute, as showers could be light but persistent at times. If you have early travel on Monday, double-check local transit alerts and airline status before leaving for the station or the airport.
