Pittsburgh, PA – Drivers across western Pennsylvania are facing hazardous conditions this morning as dense fog blankets the region, according to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh. Visibility may drop to a quarter-mile or less in some areas until around 9 a.m.
According to the NWS, motorists should use caution while traveling, particularly along highways and low-lying areas where fog can settle thickly. Drivers are urged to switch to low-beam headlights and reduce speed. The advisory stretches across southwestern Pennsylvania and into parts of northern West Virginia and eastern Ohio, including Morgantown, Wheeling, Zanesville, and the greater Pittsburgh metro area.
The good news for commuters: conditions are expected to improve after mid-morning as the fog lifts. Sunshine will return Sunday afternoon, with temperatures climbing into the low 80s.
The regional forecast calls for dry weather much of the week ahead, though a cooling trend will settle in by Wednesday. Highs will drop from the upper 70s and low 80s early in the week to the mid-60s by midweek. Nighttime lows will dip into the upper 40s by Thursday night, signaling a more autumn-like pattern.
Travelers should remain alert during morning commutes early this week, as patchy fog may still form in valleys and along rivers. Otherwise, the extended outlook points to several days of dry, clear fall weather.
