Pittsburgh Weather: Laurel Highlands wakes up to snow in May; more rain and flakes on the way
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- It's very chilly outside today, and some areas even woke up to snow in May.
In fact, if Pittsburgh stays below 47 degrees on Tuesday, we will break the record for the coldest high temperature set back in 1897. Given the stubborn cloud cover and rain chances, we'll likely break that record today.
There will still be drizzle and/or light rain action across the entire area with some flakes being possible in the higher elevations. The Laurels and ridges woke up to a coating of snow this morning, but it should melt later today. Seven Springs posted photos of the snow to Twitter, calling it "May-uary."
Overnight, there will still be some light showers with flakes mixing in as temperatures fall into the low and mid-30s. This nuisance rain eventually ends Thursday with some isolated showers, and we finally improve towards the weekend.

Partly cloudy skies return Friday with highs in the 60s, so any Cinco de Mayo plans will be dry.
Then this weekend will be well-deserved as sunshine heats up the whole weekend with highs back in the 70s. Thankfully most outlooks have the warmer weather sticking around into next week.
