PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - If you happen to have plans outside today enjoy - the weather couldn't be nicer.  

Alright, if I were to nitpick, I could say maybe it was a tad bit on the cool side this morning.

Lows dipped to the 40s in several places.  

Sunrise is at 5:53 a.m. and skies should be partly cloudy or better as the sun comes up. I have some uncertainty because we will have some high clouds rolling through at that point with skies clearing out as we head into the afternoon.

I have noon temperatures in the mid to low 70s. Temperatures should hit the 80s by 3 p.m., so we are looking at a steady but brisk warm-up today with highs around 35° warmer than the daily low.

Looking ahead, rain arrives by 10 a.m. on Sunday morning in Pittsburgh with a couple of hours of light right and a few rumbles expected. Rain totals will only be around a fifth of an inch. 

The best chance for rain on Sunday will be from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

I also want to briefly mention that severe weather chances will return next with the highest chance of severe weather occurring on Wednesday and Thursday. Severe weather numbers like the K-index spike during these days it appears the biggest threat will come from hail and tornados. 

Frequent lightning and downpours will also be a concern.
