Pittsburgh, PA — Fog could create visibility challenges for drivers in parts of western Pennsylvania early Thursday morning, with the heaviest conditions expected north of Pittsburgh. Areas such as Clarion, Oil City, and Cranberry Township are likely to see dense fog that could reduce visibility to under 2 miles. Conditions will begin to improve by mid-morning, but drivers should stay cautious during their commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, fog coverage will begin clearing up by late morning, with conditions becoming more favorable for visibility across most areas. However, afternoon and evening thunderstorms are forecast to develop, with a 25-45% chance of storms across the region, particularly in the later hours. These storms may bring brief heavy rain and gusty winds.
Cities like Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and New Castle are likely to experience the chance of thunderstorms between noon and 9 p.m., although no severe weather is expected at this time. Travelers are advised to be mindful of the weather’s impact on visibility and road conditions, especially in rural areas and northern counties.
The weather threat will subside by Friday, but the risk of isolated thunderstorms remains. Warnings and advisories will be updated as conditions develop. Stay informed for further updates, especially for areas still under heavy fog risk.
