Pittsburgh is waking up to cloudy skies, temperatures near 38 degrees and a brisk west wind Sunday morning. Rain is likely before late morning, but the wet start should give way to a mostly cloudy afternoon with a high near 49.
Rain Fades Before The Afternoon
The steadiest showers are expected to move out before 11 a.m., with rainfall totals generally staying below a tenth of an inch. Northwest winds of 7 to 10 mph will keep the day feeling cooler, even as temperatures climb through the 40s.
Clouds linger Sunday night as temperatures fall to around 36 degrees. No weather advisories are in effect for the Pittsburgh area, though the National Weather Service expects some lingering lake-effect showers near higher elevations in the broader region.
Dry Weather Takes Over Next Week
Monday starts a much quieter stretch, with mostly cloudy skies, a high near 51 and little chance of rain. The forecast then turns increasingly pleasant: Tuesday should be sunny with a high near 55, followed by highs around 59 Wednesday and 61 Thursday.
By Friday, mostly sunny skies and a high near 62 are expected, with Saturday potentially reaching 66 degrees. Nights will be noticeably colder during the warmup, dipping to around 30 Monday night, 29 Tuesday night and 31 Wednesday night.
How Often Do Freezing Nights Occur?
For broader local context, the National Weather Service Pittsburgh recorded 116 days with minimum temperatures at or below 32°F in its 2025 climate summary. That is an annual total, not a spring-only count, so it does not show how common this combination of mild daytime highs and freezing or near-freezing nights is specifically in spring.
