Pittsburgh, PA – Residents across portions of eastern Ohio, northern West Virginia, and southwestern Pennsylvania are under Freeze Warnings and Frost Advisories tonight, as temperatures are expected to plunge into the upper 20s and lower 30s by early Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service Pittsburgh, the warnings remain in effect from midnight through 9 a.m. Sunday, with the greatest confidence for frost and freeze conditions in areas north and east of the Ohio River. Slightly warmer conditions are anticipated near Pittsburgh and the immediate river valley.
Officials urge residents to protect sensitive vegetation and exposed plumbing to prevent damage as the first significant cold snap of the season moves in. Areas shaded in dark blue are under a Freeze Warning, while lighter blue regions are under a Frost Advisory, indicating the potential for damaging cold temperatures to unprotected plants and pipes.
Forecasters note that clear skies and calm winds overnight could enhance cooling, making frost more widespread in sheltered valleys. Sunday morning may bring visible frost accumulation before temperatures rebound later in the day.
Residents are advised to cover outdoor plants, disconnect garden hoses, and wrap outdoor faucets to avoid freeze-related damage.
