Pittsburgh starts Thursday cloudy, humid, and near 70 degrees, with patchy fog expected before the morning commute fully gets moving. The gray start will give way to warmer conditions, but scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely to return later today. Highs should reach about 86 degrees.
Storms Build After Noon
Isolated showers may develop between 9 a.m. and noon, followed by a better chance for scattered showers and thunderstorms from around noon through the afternoon. The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh puts the overall rain chance near 40% and warns that heavier downpours could cause localized flooding, while stronger storms may produce gusty winds.
Tonight stays unsettled, with scattered showers and thunderstorms possible before 11 p.m. Patchy fog could return after midnight, and another round of isolated to scattered storms may develop overnight as temperatures dip only to around 70 degrees.
Friday And Saturday Stay Active
Friday looks even wetter, with a 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms and a high near 85 degrees. Storms could arrive before late morning, continue through the afternoon, and become especially persistent Friday night, when the rain chance rises to about 80%.
Saturday brings another warm day near 85 degrees with scattered storms and a 50% chance of rain. Sunday offers the week’s clearest break, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 86, although a slight afternoon storm chance remains.
More Storm Chances Return Next Week
The unsettled pattern is not packing its bags yet. Showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast Monday and become more likely Tuesday, with Monday’s high near 88 degrees and Tuesday carrying an 80% chance of rain and storms.
No watches or warnings are posted for Pennsylvania Thursday morning, but brief heavy rain can still create slick roads, ponding, and sudden visibility drops. Outdoor plans should stay flexible through Saturday, especially during the afternoon and evening storm windows.
