Cooler air is rushing in behind the overnight cold front that we saw. Our official high today will be either 53° or 54°.
Afternoon temperatures, though, will only hit the low 40s with partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. It’ll be breezy with winds out of the north at around 10-15 mph.

That’ll push wind chill values back into the mid to low 30s this afternoon. Make sure you don’t forget the jacket as you are heading out the door
When it comes to rain totals, the Pittsburgh airport recorded 1.46″ of rain yesterday. That was just two tenths off of the daily record. We picked up around half an inch of rain in the morning hours before rain came to an end for an overall storm total of around 2″. The best news was the lack of severe weather yesterday.

We have one possible (likely) tornado just west of Mercer County in Ohio, but that is it. There were a couple of large hail reports near Steubenville yesterday, but only four reports were filed in Pittsburgh, with all reports coming from either Allegheny or Washington counties.
While I am looking forward to going back and looking at why storms didn’t develop yesterday like expected, my early suspicions are that dew points simply weren’t high enough to cause large lapse rate changes with height.
Flood warning in place through 10:30 Friday morning

Looking ahead, temperatures will be down in the 20s on Saturday morning with Saturday highs in the mid-40s. Sunday highs will hit the mid-50s. Next week will see spring-like weather with a couple of storm chances, with the first one coming on Monday afternoon.
