Monday, April 6, 2026, is starting off clear and cold in Pittsburgh at about 36°F, but the quiet morning will not last long. Clouds are expected to thicken with scattered rain showers moving in after 10 a.m., and the afternoon high should reach around 54°F. West winds of 6 to 15 mph are forecast to gust up to 25 mph, which will make it feel cooler and could send any loose patio gear skittering across the deck. Rainfall amounts should stay under a tenth of an inch, though brief, heavier showers could still slick up the roads during the commute.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
By this afternoon, winds will swing around to the west and ramp up, with gusts near 25 mph pairing with scattered showers after 10 a.m. That means a breezy, on-and-off wet setup for the afternoon drive. Securing lightweight items outside is a good idea, and drivers should be ready for quick dips in visibility under any heavier shower. These timing, wind, and precipitation details come from the National Weather Service Pittsburgh.
Tonight Into Tuesday
Scattered rain showers are expected to linger before 2 a.m., with a short window of isolated rain and snow showers between about 2 and 3 a.m., mainly across higher terrain. Lows should fall to around 33°F. Any snow that does fall is expected to stay minimal, generally under an inch and limited to grassy or elevated surfaces, so most neighborhoods will just deal with wet pavement. We broke down the broader setup in Sunday's chilly setup.
Frost And Warm-Up Outlook
No advisories are currently in effect for Allegheny County. However, frost advisories remain posted in parts of Ohio and West Virginia through 10 a.m. Monday, and a Freeze Watch is up for late Monday night into Tuesday morning in a few Ohio counties, something gardeners and farmers south of I-70 will want to keep in mind. High pressure is expected to build by midweek, bringing dry conditions and a steady warm-up into the 60s on Wednesday and then into the upper 60s to around 70°F on Thursday and Friday. The next chance for showers looks to arrive around Friday. These forecasts and watches are from the National Weather Service Pittsburgh.
