Pittsburgh, PA – Western Pennsylvania is set to experience an all-day rainstorm Thursday, with steady rainfall forecasted to impact Pittsburgh and nearby areas. Residents should anticipate potentially hazardous travel conditions, with local authorities urging caution on major routes, including I-376, due to the likelihood of slick and potentially flooded roads.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Pittsburgh, rain is expected to start early Thursday morning and persist into the night. The steady downpour will likely bring rainfall totals of around half an inch across the region, with higher amounts possible near the Pennsylvania-Ohio border. Winds reaching up to 20 mph may accompany the rain, especially in exposed areas, increasing the risk of low visibility and making travel challenging.
Temperatures on Thursday will peak around 50°F, dropping to a low of 43°F by the evening as showers continue. Friday morning may see lingering clouds with a slight chance of additional showers, but skies are expected to clear by the afternoon. Friday night will remain mostly cloudy, with a weekend warm-up forecasted, reaching 56°F on Saturday under mostly sunny skies.
As the rain clears out, patchy fog may develop Saturday night, with conditions staying dry into early next week. By Sunday, temperatures are expected to climb to 59°F, providing a milder start to the upcoming workweek.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather information through the NWS and to consider adjusting travel plans if possible, especially during peak rainfall hours.
