Pittsburgh started Tuesday under cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 60s, but the day is expected to brighten quickly. The forecast calls for a partly sunny afternoon, a high near 78, and just a 2% chance of rain—an easy setup for errands, patios, and one last argument over whether summer is actually over.

Sunny, Comfortable Tuesday

Clouds should break up through the morning, with temperatures climbing into the upper 70s by afternoon. West winds will stay light at 2 to 7 mph, and the National Weather Service has no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the local forecast area.

Fog Could Slow Wednesday Morning

Tuesday night will be partly cloudy with a low near 58, but patchy fog could develop after 1 a.m. Wednesday may begin foggy before turning partly sunny, with a high near 82 and light southeast winds.

Thursday Brings The Week’s Main Weather Question

Thursday will be warmer, reaching about 84 degrees, but showers and thunderstorms could develop after 2 p.m. The chance of rain is 40%, and while the overall storm threat is low, storms that form could produce damaging winds, with the risk somewhat higher east of I-79.

Weekend Forecast Turns Warmer

Friday should be mostly sunny with a high near 82 and only a slight chance of afternoon showers or thunderstorms. Saturday looks sunny at 82, Sunday mostly sunny at 85, and Monday mostly sunny and warmer near 87, with a chance of rain showers Monday night.
