Pittsburgh, PA — Isolated showers early this morning are expected to move north of I-80, leaving behind cool and breezy conditions for the rest of the day across Pittsburgh and much of western Pennsylvania. Temperatures will struggle to rise past the mid-60s today, as cloudy skies dominate much of the region. Some light showers could linger into the early afternoon, though they are expected to remain mostly isolated.
According to the National Weather Service, northwest winds blowing across Lake Erie will bring cooler air into the region, keeping temperatures lower than average for this time of year. Those winds are expected to persist through the weekend, maintaining cooler highs in the low 60s to 70s, with overnight lows dropping into the chilly 40s.
Looking ahead, the weather will begin to turn warmer starting on Monday, with sunny skies and dry conditions forecast. Highs will climb into the 70s on Monday and Tuesday as a high-pressure system builds over the area. By Wednesday, temperatures are projected to reach the low 80s, bringing a much-welcomed return of warmer conditions to western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.
The extended forecast predicts that the area will continue to experience sunny, clear skies through midweek, with temperatures staying in the comfortable range of 80s during the day and lows in the 50s overnight. This gradual warming trend will provide a stark contrast to the cool, breezy weather expected over the weekend.
For those looking to plan outdoor activities, Sunday through Wednesday should offer ideal conditions, with plenty of sunshine and dry weather expected across the region.
