I SUSPECT THAT SON HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT. ASHLEY. YEAH, AND IT’S GOING TO BE SOMEWHERE ALL DAY LONG FOR SURE. BUT WE ARE EXPECTING TEMPERATURES TO START TO WARM UP TODAY, LOW 80S, EXTENDING IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S AS WE FINISH OUT THIS WEEK. AND WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF SUNSHINE. RADAR IS QUIET AND YOU CAN SEE FAIR SKIES NOT ONLY DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH, BUT ALSO OUR CAMERA HERE RIGHT IN WILKINSBURG ABOVE OUR STATION THIS MORNING. ALTHOUGH SUNNY, STILL A LITTLE CHILL TO THE AIR. IT’S ONE OF THOSE MORNINGS IN THE SUNGLASSES, THE HOODIE OR LIGHT JACKET TO KICK IT OFF. 50 RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH, 44 AS YOU WAKE UP IN BUTLER AND NEW CASTLE. 52, MONROEVILLE 48 IN GREENSBURG, WASHINGTON, AT 45, AND WAYNESBURG WAKING UP AT 41. DAYTIME HIGHS WILL GET INTO THE UPPER 70S AND LOW 80S. YOU’LL HIT NEAR 81 IN BUTLER AND CRANBERRY BEAVER WILL BE NEAR 84 TODAY, 79 IN OIL CITY AND CLARION IN INDIANA, GETTING UP NEAR 80. NOW THOSE HIGHER ELEVATIONS EAST ALWAYS JUST A TAD COOLER BUT STILL VERY COMFORTABLE IN THE LOW TO MID 70S AT SEVEN SPRINGS AND SOMERSET. UNIONTOWN WILL BE NEAR 80. MORGANTOWN 81 AND WAYNESBURG UP TO 80. THAT’S THE CASE ALSO IN THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, WHERE IN CANONSBURG YOU’LL JUMP UP NEAR 81. 81 IN GREENSBURG AND 82 FOR YOUR HIGH IN MONROEVILLE. SO VERY NICE FOR US. BUT WITH THIS NICE WEATHER DOES COME A HIGHER POLLEN COUNT. I DEFINITELY CAN FEEL IT WHEN I’M OUTSIDE. AS WE’RE SITTING IN THE MEDIUM TO HIGH RANGE TODAY, CONTINUING THROUGH THE WEEK INTO THE START OF THE WEEKEND. AS FOR SATURDAY WILL START OFF DRY WITH SOME SUNSHINE. NOW OUR TOP POLLENS OR TOP ALLERGENS. EXCUSE ME, ARE GRASS, OAK AND MULBERRY, BUT WE WILL HAVE RAIN COMING IN SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MAY UPGRADED TO IMPACT DAYS. WE’RE GOING TO WAIT FOR ONE MORE DAY TO SEE IF THIS TIMING HOLDS, BUT IT DOES LOOK A BIT MORE ON THE SOGGY SIDE STARTING SATURDAY EVENING INTO SUNDAY. HERE’S THE LATEST TIMING OF IT. START TO SEE A FEW SHOWERS NORTH AROUND LUNCHTIME, BUT A LOT OF THIS COMING IN AROUND 3:00, O’CLOCK. WIDESPREAD RAIN INTO SATURDAY EVENING, EXTENDING OVERNIGHT INTO SUNDAY WITH POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. NOW WE’LL STILL HAVE SOME SHOWERS THROUGH THE DAY ON SUNDAY, BUT SLOWLY IT WILL START TO TAPER OFF AND WE ARE EXPECTING TO DRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK. AND WITH THIS FRONT MOVING IN DOESN’T KNOCK OUR TEMPERATURES DOWN TOO MUCH. NOW WE’LL DROP BACK DOWN INTO THE LOW 80S ON SUNDAY, STAYING IN THE LOW TO MID 80S AS WE GET INTO NEXT WEEK AND REMAINING DRY. SO AGAIN, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY MAYBE UPGRADED TO IMPACT DAYS AS WE HEAD INT
