Pittsburgh Weather: Valentine's Day arrives with pleasant temperatures, sunny skies
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Happy Valentine's Day!
Plenty of sunshine and more mid-50s for highs today across the region, with even warmer air invading tomorrow and Thursday. We'll have dry weather today but a slight chance of a spotty shower here and there overnight (blink and you'll miss it) which will be gone by the early morning commute tomorrow.
Temperatures only fall into the mid-40s overnight and soar to near 70 tomorrow (even warmer to the south), which would be a record for Pittsburgh (tomorrow's record now stands at 69 degrees, set in 1954).
Wednesday and Thursday will also be windy and we'll have to watch for a potential wind advisory tomorrow with possible gusts up to 40 mph and higher in the Laurel Highlands. Thursday brings a return of showers and even a light, steady rain at times. By afternoon and later, we'll watch for the chance of a thunderstorm popping with severe weather chances higher to our west and south into Ohio, Kentucky, and the Deep South.
We'll be on the northern and eastern fringe of the thunderstorm chance, but a storm with gusty, damaging wind is not entirely out of the question. A cold front knocks temperatures back to seasonable February levels Friday with a chance of a snow or rain shower through lunchtime. Weekend temperatures will again rebound into the 40s and low 50s.
