Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – After days of thunderstorms and humid nights, western Pennsylvania gets a summer reset on Friday, August 1st, with spotty showers kicking off the day before sunshine takes over for the weekend. Commuters in Pittsburgh and along I-376 should stay alert for wet roads Friday morning, but drier, warmer weather is set to take over by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, a slight chance of showers lingers in Pittsburgh until around 8 a.m. Friday. Once clouds clear, expect temperatures to climb to 80°F with a light northeast wind between 6 and 10 mph. Roads like I-376 and Route 28 may see brief slick spots early, so motorists should slow down and use headlights during any morning rainfall. By midday, sunshine and comfortable conditions are expected to return, just in time for summer plans to resume across Allegheny County.
Saturday and Sunday bring classic August warmth and bright skies, with highs of 80°F and 84°F respectively—perfect for outdoor activities and city events. Power up your devices and stay hydrated, especially if you’re heading to crowded events or spending time outside. Evenings cool off into the upper 50s and low 60s, providing ideal conditions for late-night strolls or open-window sleeping.
Looking ahead, the first week of August continues the summer theme with dry, sunny days and gentle breezes. Monday and Tuesday reach the mid-80s, and the only hint of rain comes late Tuesday with a 30% chance of showers. No heat advisories or flooding concerns are expected at this time, but the NWS urges residents to keep up with local alerts as summer storms can develop quickly.
Warnings and advisories remain minimal, but check back for updates if weather conditions shift.
