Pittsburgh is getting one more friendly November day before the umbrellas return. Clear skies and temperatures near 39 degrees early Tuesday should give way to bright sunshine and a high near 64, with a mild afternoon offering a welcome break from the usual gray-season routine.
Sunny Tuesday, Mild Veterans Day
Tuesday is the week’s standout for outdoor plans, though southwest winds of 7 to 14 mph could add a breezy edge. Tuesday night stays mostly clear with a low around 39, while Veterans Day on Wednesday remains mild with mostly cloudy skies and a high near 62.
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service puts a 40% chance of rain after 7 p.m. Wednesday. That timing keeps most daytime Veterans Day plans dry, but evening events may need a backup plan, especially as clouds thicken.
Rain Thursday, Rain And Snow Friday
Rain becomes likely Thursday, with an 80% chance of precipitation and a high near 54. Rain could continue Thursday night as temperatures fall to around 35, with northwest winds making the evening feel colder.
Friday brings a 50% chance of rain and snow, mostly cloudy skies and a high near 45. The forecast also keeps mixed precipitation in play Friday night and Saturday, while the weather service says accumulating snow is becoming more likely in higher terrain; Pittsburgh itself is currently facing rain-and-snow chances rather than a snowstorm forecast.
The late-week setup sharpens the turn described in Monday’s Pittsburgh forecast, with the rain timing now more clearly focused on Wednesday night and Thursday. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for Pennsylvania, Ohio or West Virginia in the current outlook.
Chilly Weekend Follows
Saturday stays mostly cloudy with a high near 45 and a 30% chance of rain and snow. Sunday looks mostly cloudy near 48, followed by a partly sunny Monday with a high near 51.
For Pittsburgh residents making plans, Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday daytime are the best windows for walks, errands and outdoor activities. After that, jackets, umbrellas and a little patience with November’s mood swings will be useful.
