Pittsburgh woke up to a clean slate of blue sky today, with pre-dawn temperatures hovering near 57°F (14°C) around 5:35 a.m. ET. Sunshine will stack up quickly through the morning and into the afternoon, sending highs to about 73°F while a steady north breeze near 10 mph keeps things feeling dry and comfortable. That crisp, seasonable air is the payoff from a cold front that slid through Friday night, setting the stage for a very outdoor-friendly day.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
By this afternoon, you will notice the wind a bit more, with a north breeze running roughly 8–12 mph. Hilltops, bridges and riverfront spots will feel breezier than the numbers might suggest, even as temperatures climb into the low 70s by late afternoon. Sun should hold on through early evening, then skies stay clear overnight as readings dip to around 48°F from Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Weekend Into Next Week
Sunday, May 31, 2026, stays locked into the sunny pattern with a high near 77°F, and Monday, June 1, 2026, follows close behind near 78°F. Dry weather is expected through Tuesday, June 2. Forecast guidance trends warmer by Thursday, June 4, with highs in the mid-80s likely and a peak near 87°F on Friday, June 5, when there is only a slight chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms. According to the National Weather Service, high pressure will keep the region mostly dry into early next week.
What This Means For Plans
From patios to park trails, Saturday and Sunday are shaping up to be about as close to ideal as late May and early June can get. Early hours will stay on the cool side, so a light jacket is a good idea if you are out before 9 a.m., but there are no watches or warnings posted at this time. If you are banking on outdoor plans for Friday, June 5, it is worth checking back on the forecast later in the week in case those slight afternoon storm chances decide to show up.
