Wednesday will be the last dry day in Pittsburgh for quite some time

3 weeks ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

It was close, but for the 17th day in a to,w we saw temperatures at or below average in Pittsburgh. We will see above-average temperatures today with highs hitting the mid-80s and morning lows dipping to just around 60 degrees.

Canadian wildfire smoke in the Pittsburgh area will be thickening today and causing poor air quality

KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (6/3) Canadian wildfire smoke in the Pittsburgh area will be thickening today and causing poor air quality throughout the region. Any Alert Days Ahead? Friday may end up being one but right now the chance looks VERY low. Next Monday probably has a slightly higher chance of being a First Alert Weather Day but chance is still low.
Western Pennsylvania to see sunny weather Monday with 80 degree temps on the horizon

3 weeks ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (June 2, 2025) Warmer weather is set to arrive Monday, putting an end to one of the coolest end-of-May stretches Pittsburgh has seen. Overall, May ended up being .3 degrees below average. We were well above average to start the month, though. The final 13 days of the month saw temperatures well below average as we averaged a temperature of just 56.8 degrees. Warmer days are clearly ahead. Highs today will hit the low 70s.
Pittsburgh's cool weather pattern continues through the weekend

4 weeks ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

Yesterday was the 12th day in a row that we have seen temperatures at or below average in Pittsburgh. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather PhotosDon't expect us to break the streak through the weekend with highs not expected to hit the 70s either today, Saturday, or Sunday. It doesn't mean that the weather will be bad, but it isn't exactly pool weather either.
Pittsburgh in for a brief warm up on Thursday

4 weeks ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

Today is likely going to be the 12th day in a row with temperatures at or below average for our area. Surprisingly, we are still slightly (0.3°) above average for the month. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather PhotosWith the month coming to an end on Saturday, it's going to be close, but I think we will end the month just barely (~-0.1°) below. We don't see too many near or below average months when it comes to the temperature anymore.
It's not exactly going to be pool weather for Memorial Day in the Pittsburgh area

1 month ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

It's not exactly going to be pool weather, but the forecast for Memorial Day in the Pittsburgh area is dry. Any Alert Days Ahead? We need to keep an eye on Friday storm and rain chances. Aware: Today will be the tenth day in a row with us not seeing 80 degrees. This is probably not the Memorial Day forecast many were hoping for, but it is the want that we've been given. I always hate complaining about Memorial Day weather because it always inevitably comes back to why we are here in the first place.
Pittsburgh will have mostly dry weather through Memorial Day

1 month ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

It should be another pleasant, if not unseasonably cool, day today with highs hitting the mid-60s and lows down in the low 40s. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather PhotosThe daily average for today is 74° for the high and 53° for the low. This type of weather isn't that rare at this time of the year, but it certainly isn't common. The past week is in the top 20 (barely) when it comes to looking at the record book and the coolest starts.
Light rain possible with most of the day in Pittsburgh looking dry

1 month ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

Looking at today's forecast, light rain is possible, but most of your day will be dry. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather PhotosIt's going to be cool, with highs only hitting the mid-50s today. It'll be breezy as well. You'll want to bundle up if you're stuck outside. Things will improve for the rest of your holiday weekend. Highs on Saturday will hit the low 60s. Sunday highs will hit the mid to upper 60s, with highs near 70 on Memorial Day.
Rain continues most of Thursday in Pittsburgh, but this time without storms

1 month ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (5/22) Rain will continue today, but this time without storms. New rain totals should be less than a half-inch for the day for most places. I will call rain widespread through 5 p.m. with more scattered showers in place for the rest of the evening and overnight. Scattered to isolated showers are also expected on Friday.
Rain moves through the Pittsburgh region with severe weather and flooding possible

1 month ago | cbsnews.com | Ron Smiley

There's so much to talk about when it comes to the weather today. This morning, we are seeing the leading edge of warmer air moving in, with rain showers expected to be fairly continuous through around 9 this morning. We should get a break from the rain after 9, with temperatures rapidly warming up to near 70 by the early afternoon hours.
