Pittsburgh Weather: Rain kicks off Tuesday before winds, sun arrive
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Showers and drizzle are moving out this afternoon and giving way to gradual clearing but very windy conditions.
Alert: None.
Aware: Some rain/freezing rain/snow mix early Wednesday, mainly north and east of Pittsburgh.
Winds could gust up to 40 mph, and we have a wind advisory for the Laurel Highlands and Ridges in effect through 7 p.m.
Highs today and tomorrow will hover in the lower to mid-50s, but another round of steadier rain arrives early Wednesday morning, with just enough cold air in place overnight to bring a chance of some freezing rain and snow mixing in for a bit in spots. Most of the concern for any icy bridges or overpasses will be concentrated in areas to the north of Pittsburgh and east into the Ridges and Laurel Highlands.
Still, everyone should be cautious through the morning commute Wednesday, with the chance for a few slick spots lingering through lunch. After that, everything gradually becomes all rain before ending later Wednesday evening.
Temperatures soar again Thursday with another shot at a record high for the day. The record stands at 70 and that's looking like just where we'll be for a daytime high. Cold air arrives overnight Thursday, and temperatures plunge Friday to only highs in the 30s!
Over the weekend, we could have a chance at a rain/snow shower early Saturday before a dry rest of the weekend in the 40s.
