Pennsylvania — The air feels alive across western Pennsylvania this Halloween morning, with gusty winds rattling leaves and patchy drizzle streaking car windshields. A quick-moving disturbance is brushing through the Pittsburgh metro and surrounding valleys, bringing bursts of wind up to 35 mph and a few light showers before clearing later today.
Drivers along I-79 and I-376 should expect brief spray and gusty crosswinds, especially on open stretches and bridges. Outdoor decorations and lightweight Halloween displays could blow loose — a quick check before heading out will save some cleanup later. Temperatures stay in the low to mid-50s through midday before gradually falling into the upper 30s by nightfall.
Trick-or-treat hours this evening look mostly dry but breezy, with wind chills dipping into the upper 30s under partly clearing skies. A few isolated sprinkles may linger north of the city, but no steady rain is expected.
By Saturday, high pressure settles in, bringing mostly sunny skies and calmer winds. Highs reach near 56°F, making it one of the better days for outdoor plans or late-season yardwork. Sunday stays mild, climbing to 57°F, before clouds begin to increase as a weak cold front approaches from the west.
Looking ahead to early next week, models suggest scattered showers returning Monday and Tuesday with temperatures hovering near 60°F. The next system could deliver a stronger push of cold air by midweek — an early signal of a November pattern shift that may favor frost and possible early flakes in higher elevations north of the city.
And don’t forget — Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday. Set clocks back an hour and enjoy that extra bit of rest before the first week of November begins on a crisp, calm note.
