Pittsburgh gets one more warm day Thursday before the forecast takes a cooler, wetter turn. Morning clouds and lingering rain should give way to sunshine, with temperatures climbing to around 70 degrees by afternoon.
Rain is expected to taper off early Thursday, according to the latest National Weather Service forecast. Southwest winds will run from 1 to 15 mph, and the city could see a brief burst of gustier conditions as the air dries out.
Warm Thursday, Then A Sharper Turn
Thursday night should be partly cloudy and much quieter, with temperatures falling to about 49 degrees. The latest update is a notable shift from Hoodline’s earlier outlook, which focused on a wetter midweek pattern, and no watches, warnings or advisories are currently posted for the Pittsburgh area.
Rain Chances Return Friday And Saturday
Friday will be mostly cloudy, with a 40% chance of rain after noon and a high near 63 degrees. West winds of 5 to 10 mph will add to the cooler feel, while another chance of light rain lingers into Friday night before 1 a.m.
Saturday looks cooler still, with a 40% chance of rain after 7 a.m., mostly cloudy skies and a high near 53 degrees. West winds could reach 16 mph, making it a decidedly less friendly day for outdoor plans than Thursday’s brief November bonus.
Sunshine Returns For The Start Of Next Week
Sunday should bring mostly sunny skies and a high near 57 degrees after a chilly low around 36 overnight. Monday stays mostly sunny near 59, followed by a sunny Tuesday near 63 and mostly sunny Veterans Day near 59.
For local plans, Thursday afternoon is the clear winner before umbrellas return Friday and Saturday. The early part of next week looks calmer and mainly dry, but mornings will be cold enough for a jacket.
