Scattered storms sweep through Pittsburgh, bringing an end to the prolonged dry spell on Wednesday.
Pittsburgh residents are advised to keep their umbrellas handy throughout the day as rain showers are expected to sweep through the city. According to meteorologist Ron Smiley of KDKA-TV, who has been providing local weather forecasts since June 2015, most places should experience at least two rounds of rain today.
Moisture moved in overnight, and winds converging at the surface are providing additional lift for the rain. Rain is possible both in the morning and afternoon today. Some communities may see more than an inch and a half of rain, while rain totals for today are expected to range from half an inch to a full inch for most places.
However, the temperatures in Pittsburgh are expected to rise again, reaching the 90s on both Saturday and Sunday. Morning temperatures in Pittsburgh were in the mid-70s, and noon temperatures today should be in the upper 70s.
The cold front will cool down the temperatures on Thursday and Friday. Pittsburgh's high temperature today should reach the mid to low 80s, significantly lower than yesterday's 93°. The low temperature in Pittsburgh today is expected to occur just before midnight and will be 70 degrees.
If rain occurs on Thursday, it is expected to happen before sunrise. The detailed weather forecast for Pittsburgh over the next week shows the following:
