Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Wet roads could slow the Thursday afternoon commute as light rain moves into western Pennsylvania, following a chilly start with morning flurries in some areas.

According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, cloud cover will increase today with highs ranging from the upper 30s to low 40s. By Thursday morning, scattered flurries may develop north of Pittsburgh before transitioning to light rain during the afternoon, as temperatures climb into the 40s and low 50s.

The warming trend continues Friday, bringing highs into the 50s and mid-60s across Allegheny County and surrounding areas. That warmer air will fuel additional precipitation, with afternoon showers and a slight chance of thunderstorms developing by late day. ರಸ್ತები including I-376, I-79, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike could see slick conditions during peak travel hours.

While no significant accumulation is expected, brief visibility drops and wet pavement could impact drivers, especially during heavier showers Friday afternoon.

Residents should plan for changing conditions, keep headlights on during rain, and allow extra travel time during commutes.

Unsettled weather lingers into Friday night, with additional updates possible as rain chances continue to develop.
