Sunday morning, April 19, 2026, is starting raw and unsettled in Pittsburgh, with rain and fog, temperatures in the low 40s (about 43°F), visibility trimmed to roughly 4 miles, and gusty northwest winds pushing 25 to 30 mph. A few light showers will hang on through the morning before skies trade over to a mix of sun and clouds, and temperatures climb to around 54°F this afternoon.
Morning Rain, Afternoon Breeze
Showers stick around through the first half of the morning, then gradually taper by mid to late morning. West winds will stay on the breezy side at 9 to 17 mph, with gusts up to 30 mph. If you rolled the patio furniture out early for spring, this is your reminder to secure it, and drivers of high-profile vehicles should expect some push from the wind.
Freeze Warning Early Monday
The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Warning for much of the area early Monday, April 20, from 2 a.m. to 10 a.m. EDT. Low spots and higher ridges could slip into the low 30s with frost likely. Forecasters also expect another widespread freeze Monday night, so protecting sensitive plants and vulnerable outdoor plumbing remains the name of the game, according to NWS Pittsburgh.
Commute And Garden Tips
Foggy, wet conditions this morning may slow the commute, so allow extra time and watch for reduced visibility on bridges and river crossings. Gardeners with seedlings or potted plants should bring them inside or cover them overnight from Monday to Tuesday. Pet owners will want to plan for a couple of chilly nights as well. This update follows our April 17 forecast, From Shorts to Parkas.
Warmer Later This Week
After the early-week freeze, temperatures rebound with a high near 66°F on Tuesday and readings rising into the 70s and low 80s by the end of the week. Scattered showers or thunderstorms are possible from Wednesday into next weekend, so anyone planning outdoor events will want to stay tuned to the forecast.
