Pittsburgh, PA – Crisp dawn air and streaks of pink light over the Monongahela River marked another calm start across western Pennsylvania. After several dry, pleasant days, a subtle shift in the atmosphere is on the way — one that may bring a damp, breezy change to begin the first full week of November.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, a weak front will slide east on Monday, bringing a 30 percent chance of scattered showers from midafternoon into the evening. Until then, dry conditions will dominate, with highs near 57°F today and climbing slightly to 58°F by Monday. Winds remain light through Sunday, but may pick up as the front approaches, gusting near 20 mph at times.
Travelers using I-79, I-376, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike should prepare for patchy rain and wet pavement late Monday, especially during the evening commute. Though rainfall totals look light, the combination of fallen leaves and drizzle could create slick roadways in shaded or low-lying areas.
The rest of the week trends cooler but stable. Sunshine returns Tuesday with highs in the mid-50s, followed by another weak system possible Wednesday. Temperatures dip into the upper 30s most nights, hinting at the season’s gradual turn toward colder mornings.
To be fair, western Pennsylvania has dodged early winter weather so far, but models suggest a stronger cold push by mid-month. If that trend holds, the region could see its first flurries before Thanksgiving. For now, this weekend remains prime for outdoor chores, leaf cleanup, and quiet fall drives before the gray skies return.
