Pittsburgh is waking up to clear skies and temperatures in the upper 30s Monday, October 19, with areas of frost expected before 9 a.m. Sunshine will take over quickly, sending temperatures to about 65 degrees by afternoon with no rain and barely any wind.
Frost Fades Before A Sunny Afternoon
A Frost Advisory remains in effect through 9 a.m. Monday for Pittsburgh and surrounding areas, where temperatures could fall as low as 33 degrees and damage sensitive outdoor plants. The National Weather Service recommends covering tender vegetation before the advisory ends.
After the chilly start, northeast winds should stay near 2 mph as the city warms through the 40s and 50s late morning. Afternoon temperatures are expected to peak around 65 degrees beneath sunny skies, making for a much friendlier second half of the day than the frosty opening.
Clear Nights Keep The Chill Around
Monday night will be clear with a low near 38 degrees, followed by a mostly sunny Tuesday with a high around 66. Wednesday and Thursday should remain sunny, with highs near 64 and 65 degrees, while overnight lows hover around 38.
Dry Weather Holds Through The Weekend
The extended forecast stays unusually cooperative for late October, with sunny or mostly clear skies from Friday through Sunday and highs in the low to mid-60s. No measurable precipitation is forecast through the weekend, though early risers should keep a jacket handy and watch for another round of patchy frost in colder spots.
The latest outlook builds on Sunday's frost-and-sunshine setup covered by Hoodline, with Monday's advisory now the main weather item for local residents. For fall walks, errands and outdoor plans, the pattern is simple: cold mornings, comfortable afternoons and very little rain.
