PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Drivers in Pittsburgh faced patchy fog early Saturday morning, but the region will settle into a stretch of warm, dry weather just in time for the Labor Day holiday. Afternoon highs will reach the mid-70s today before climbing into the low 80s by Monday.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, skies will stay mostly clear through Tuesday, keeping travel plans, cookouts, and outdoor events on track. Winds will remain light, with nights cooling into the low- to mid-50s, providing a comfortable end to summer evenings.
Communities across Allegheny, Beaver, and Washington counties can expect sunshine to dominate, though forecasters caution that conditions will shift by midweek.
