Pittsburgh Weather: Cold start to Thursday leads to warmer temperatures this weekend
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Cold air has settled in as we see the base of a trough of cold air moving by today.
We tied the record low set back in 1934 this morning with 29 degrees. Friday morning promises to be cold, too.
The National Weather Service has issued another Freeze Warning for much of Western Pennsylvania from 1 a.m. to 9 a.m. Friday. Parts of Ohio and West Virginia are also under the warning. KDKA Meteorologist Falicia Woody said temperatures will likely be around 30 degrees.
Today: Temperatures bottom out in the 20s this morning. Model data also drops us into the 20s Friday morning.
Alert: None upcoming.
Aware: Record cold possible this morning across the region.

This afternoon, we will warm to highs in the 50s with plenty of sunshine. Yesterday's highs were in the mid to low 40s, so you'll feel the difference. Winds have also calmed down and will be out of the west at around 10 mph for the day.
Looking ahead, pleasant weather will be in place Friday and Saturday with highs in the 60s before our next rain chance arrives on Sunday.
Our next system is set to arrive Saturday night with some showers to start. So rain could be around for the start of the marathon early Sunday with temperatures in the upper 40s.
By the afternoon, we'll still have mostly cloudy skies with the chance for a few showers, but with warming temperatures in the upper 60s to low 70s. That evening could be interesting as some models are trying to throw in the chance for storms moving through. So we'll watch that closely.
Any rain that the marathon sees will be in the form of showers with storm chances expected to stay away during race hours.
Next week will still be in the 70s with more showers possible Tuesday into Wednesday.
