Pittsburgh is starting Friday under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 57 degrees, but the cloud cover should thin as the day goes on. The afternoon is expected to reach 66 degrees with a northwest breeze around 8 mph, and rain is essentially off the table. It is a cooler setup after Thursday’s warmth, but hardly a reason to cancel plans.
Dry Halloween Weather Takes Shape
The local forecast calls for a clear break Friday night, with temperatures falling to about 40 degrees and only a light north wind. The National Weather Service expects Saturday to stay dry, with partly sunny skies, a high near 64 degrees and light northeast winds.
That makes Saturday a solid setup for Halloween activities around Pittsburgh, though costumes may need a jacket once the sun goes down. Saturday night will turn mostly cloudy, with a low near 47 degrees.
Temperatures Rebound Next Week
Sunday brings a warmer afternoon despite mostly cloudy skies, with a high near 69 degrees. A slight chance of rain showers arrives Sunday night into early Monday, but Monday should turn partly sunny after a possible early sprinkle and reach about 67 degrees.
The warmest stretch arrives Tuesday and Wednesday, when highs are forecast near 72 degrees. Rain chances increase Wednesday after 7 a.m., and showers become more likely Thursday, when the high should still reach about 68 degrees.
No weather alerts are currently listed for the Pittsburgh area. For now, the weekend forecast is mostly a story of dry conditions, a chilly Friday night and a Halloween afternoon that should cooperate.
