    KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (4/21) Stormy weather is expected this afternoon in the Pittsburgh area ahead of a cool front moving into the area. Any Alert Days Ahead? Today could have been one, but I think we will be just below the criteria. Friday may also be a First Alert Weather Day. Aware:ย Saturday, Pittsburgh was a degree off of setting a record. We hit 86ยฐ for the high. The high of 87ยฐ was hit in 1941. Strong storms will be possible this afternoon.

    The day will start off with overcast skies. ย I have temperatures going from the 40s this morning to the 60s by 8 a.m., I have us in the 70s by 10 a.m. Most of the afternoon will see temperatures right at 80 degrees.

    Today will be sunny and pleasant for the afternoon. I have highs hitting 63 degrees. Some high clouds will begin to come back after 4 this afternoon. There will be a brief and low rain chance before sunrise on Friday as a warm front sweeps through. This will push highs on Friday up to the 80s. ย  We won't be anywhere near the record high of 90 degrees on Friday but is anyone complaining?

    Things will "calm" down today with wind gusting to just 30mph. Yesterday's weather was driven by a cold pool of air settling in from the north. This cold air will be in place through Thursday morning. Highs today should be near 50 degrees. Morning lows were in the mid to low 30s. ย WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos The day will start off with overcast skies. Even with the cloudy skies, our temps should be in the low 40s by noon.
