Pittsburgh, PA – Western Pennsylvania residents should prepare for patchy fog and cooler temperatures this weekend, with potential snowfall late next week. Foggy conditions are expected to reduce visibility tonight and Sunday morning, particularly on major routes like I-376 and Route 28. Drivers are urged to proceed with caution during low-visibility hours, especially in valleys and riverfront areas.
According to the National Weather Service, patchy fog will linger overnight before clearing by late Sunday morning. Highs will reach 59 degrees on Sunday, with calm conditions making way for mostly sunny skies. However, a shift in the weather pattern early next week brings increasing chances of precipitation.
Rain is expected to arrive Tuesday and continue into Wednesday, with daytime highs climbing to the mid-60s. By Thursday, temperatures will drop sharply as a cold front moves through, aligning with a chance of snow late Thursday or Friday. Early forecasts indicate a 29% chance of measurable snowfall in Pittsburgh, with higher probabilities further east. The exact timing and totals remain uncertain, so residents should monitor updates from local meteorologists.
Motorists should be cautious of slick roads during rain showers midweek and prepare for possible icy conditions later. Those planning holiday travel are encouraged to finalize plans by early in the week to avoid potential winter weather disruptions.
