The city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – A sudden surge of springtime warmth on Monday will give way to an unsettling trend by Tuesday night, when precipitation in the form of rain and snow will return.
Residents living in the southwestern region of Pennsylvania should be ready for the weather to change, as a combination of rain and snow is forecast to arrive after two o’clock on Tuesday night. The gusty winds that were present on Monday will eventually give way to calmer weather; however, decreased temperatures and light precipitation may cause roadways to become slippery, particularly during the early commute on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service forecasts that Tuesday will have a high temperature of approximately 54 degrees Fahrenheit, with generally bright sky, until clouds begin to build in the evening. Rain showers could start before two in the morning, and they could combine with snow throughout the night. Temperatures will drop to nearly 33 degrees Fahrenheit, and there is a thirty percent chance of precipitation. It is anticipated that there will be no considerable accumulation; nonetheless, drivers should exercise caution in the morning, particularly along Interstate 376 and the routes that are nearby.
Wednesday will continue to be a chilly day, with high temperatures hovering around 46 degrees Fahrenheit and a continuous thirty percent chance of snow showers in the morning. The accumulation of significant snow is not expected, but commuters should be on the lookout for isolated areas that may be slippery.
Looking ahead, temperatures rebound slightly:
- Thursday: Mostly sunny, high of 54°F
- Friday: Showers likely, high of 60°F
- Saturday: More rain likely, high of 71°F
- Sunday: Showers and breezy, high of 75°F
Spring is here, but this week brings a typical seasonal mix. Stay weather-aware and plan travel carefully, especially late Tuesday through Wednesday morning.
