Sunday morning in Pittsburgh came in on the crisp side and under clear skies, with the Allegheny County airport clocking in around 48°F in early observations. Sunshine is expected to hold strong through the afternoon, pushing highs to near 77°F with a light east breeze, a setup tailor-made for patios, park walks and long coffee runs. Overnight lows should slide back into the low 50s.
What To Expect This Week
A broad area of high pressure is lined up to stick around through much of the coming week, keeping most neighborhoods dry and seasonable. Daytime highs are forecast to land in the mid-70s, with nights falling to around the low 50s. Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh continue to call for dry conditions into early next week.
Small Rain Chances Tuesday And Weekend Warmup
A weak mid-level disturbance could trigger an isolated shower or brief thunderstorm across the higher elevations on Tuesday afternoon, but most of the metro area is expected to stay dry. Guidance trends warmer by Thursday and Friday as ridging builds in, with highs climbing into the 80s and some guidance hinting at upper 80s by Friday into Saturday. If you have outdoor plans later in the week, it is a good idea to check forecasts again as the days get closer.
Morning Commute And Outdoor Tips
Plan on cool starts through the week, so a light jacket is still a smart move for anything before about 9 a.m., but afternoons look comfortably mild for outdoor plans. No watches or warnings are posted for the region this morning, although forecasters continue to flag the slight chance of an isolated shower in the higher terrain on Tuesday.
