Pittsburgh is getting a mostly sunny reset Monday, with temperatures climbing from near 60 degrees in the morning to a high around 73. Any lingering early showers should move out quickly, leaving behind a cooler, breezy day that sets up a steady warm-up through midweek.

Sunny, Breezy Monday

The afternoon should stay dry under mostly sunny skies, with west winds blowing at 6 to 12 mph. The National Weather Service forecast calls for a low near 58 Monday night, with partly cloudy skies and lighter west winds.

That makes Monday a solid day for outdoor plans, though the breeze may keep it feeling cooler than the sunshine suggests. No weather alerts are posted for the Pittsburgh area.

Warm-Up Through Wednesday

Tuesday will be mostly sunny with a high near 78, followed by an even warmer Wednesday reaching about 81. Patchy fog could develop late Tuesday night and linger before 8 a.m. Wednesday, especially in low-lying areas and river valleys.

Thursday Brings The Next Storm Chance

The next meaningful change arrives Thursday, when temperatures peak near 83, and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms develops after 2 p.m. The chance remains limited for now, but the weather service says a low-end risk of damaging winds could emerge if conditions become more favorable.

Friday stays mostly sunny with a high near 82, while Saturday and Sunday remain warm and largely dry. The forecast turns slightly unsettled Sunday night, when a small chance of rain showers returns.
