Pittsburgh, PA – A stretch of sunny, warm days will give way to a wet weekend in Western Pennsylvania, as four consecutive days of rain are possible starting Friday. High pressure will keep the region dry and sunny through Thursday, with temperatures reaching the mid-80s, but a shift in the weather pattern is expected just in time for the weekend.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, the first signs of the change will appear on Friday, when showers are expected to move into the area, bringing a 45% chance of rain and highs around 80°F. This unsettled weather is forecasted to continue through Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, with scattered showers and thunderstorms likely each day. Highs will range from the mid-70s to low 80s, and overnight lows will stay in the 60s.
Residents should prepare for potentially soggy conditions throughout the weekend, as the region may experience back-to-back rain showers. By Monday, the wet weather is expected to linger, though temperatures will cool slightly, with highs dropping into the low 70s.
Air quality remains good, but the wet weather could affect outdoor plans, making it a good idea to keep umbrellas and rain gear handy. After this rainy stretch, drier conditions may return mid-week, allowing for a brief break from the precipitation.
