Pittsburgh is getting a brief taste of easy summer weather Thursday: clear skies, a cool start near 60, and a sunny afternoon topping out around 83 degrees. Northwest winds around 5 to 10 mph should keep the day comfortable by late July standards, with no rain in the forecast.
Sunny Thursday, Warmer Friday
Temperatures climb quickly through the morning, reaching the upper 70s around midday before leveling off in the low 80s. Tonight stays clear with a low around 59, then Friday turns warmer and sunny, near 87, under light northwest winds, according to the National Weather Service Pittsburgh.
Storms Return Saturday Night
Saturday starts mostly cloudy with a high near 86 and only a small daytime rain chance. The forecast gets wetter after 8 p.m., when showers and thunderstorms become likely; rain chances rise to 70%, with a quarter to half inch possible.
Sunday looks like the wettest part of the stretch, with showers and thunderstorms likely through the day, a 70% rain chance, mostly cloudy skies, and a cooler high near 81. Storm chances continue into Sunday night before tapering after 2 a.m., so outdoor plans may need a backup even if Saturday afternoon is still mostly a go.
Mostly Dry Again Monday
Monday rebounds to mostly sunny skies and a high near 84. Tuesday is sunny and warmer near 87, though a slight chance of an afternoon shower or thunderstorm returns; Wednesday carries a 50% chance of showers and storms.
The latest outlook is a notable shift from the fog-and-storm setup earlier this week, when Hoodline’s earlier Pittsburgh forecast warned of more immediate unsettled weather. No watches or warnings are currently listed for the area, but Thursday and Friday are the cleanest windows for errands, patios, and outdoor plans before the weekend turns unsettled.
