Pittsburgh, PA – Drought conditions in western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia are worsening, with no rain in the forecast until Tuesday. The dry spell continues to expand, placing further strain on water resources and raising fire concerns across the region.
According to the U.S. National Weather Service, western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and parts of West Virginia remain under severe drought, with no precipitation expected for the next five days. This lack of rain is compounding the exceptional drought conditions already affecting parts of eastern Ohio.
Residents across the tri-state area should conserve water and stay alert for local fire warnings, as clear skies and highs in the low 80s will persist through the weekend. Agricultural areas are particularly vulnerable, and farmers may need to prepare for continued dry conditions into next week.
Stay updated on local drought conditions and be mindful of any water restrictions that may be enforced as the situation worsens across the region.
