Pittsburgh Braces for Unseasonably Hot Day with Possible Thunderstorms, Cooler Weekend Ahead
It's going to be another scorcher in Pittsburgh today, with the mercury expected to climb well above the seasonal norms. According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh PA, high temperatures "will again be 10 to 15 degrees above normal." While we're set to enjoy plenty of sunshine, isolated thunderstorms might crash the party later in the afternoon, although weak shear conditions suggest these will have a hard time gaining strength.
Looking ahead to the weekend, forecasters are pretty confident that we’ll see widespread activity likely Saturday with a low probability wind threat, chances are if the forecast holds up. Driven by the approach of an upper trough and trailed by a sluggish upper jet, a cold front is poised to make an appearance early Sunday. Despite the potential for a dabble of showers in the morning, particularly southeast of Pittsburgh, the front should usher in cooler, more agreeable air by the afternoon – a welcome reprieve after the heat.
The long-term outlook is looking up for those tired of the summer swelter. Starting Sunday night, the region is expected to settle into another stretch of dry and seasonable conditions. Forecasters at the National Weather Service expect this pattern to initially feature cooler temperatures on Monday and Tuesday before the mercury begins to creep back up towards the later part of the week.
As for air travel, MVFR is expected to remain for several airports through early morning as fog develops, particularly where rainfall was recorded Thursday. Pilots and passengers should be prepared for some visibility issues, with IFR conditions likely at FKL and MGW due to favorable humidity levels. These are expected to give way to clearer skies after sunrise.
No advisories or warnings have been issued as of now, but those with outdoor plans on Saturday should keep an eye on the changing weather situation. The incoming weather system promises a brief bout with stormy weather followed by a pleasant cooldown – just in time to close out the weekend.
