Pittsburgh: Isolated showers Thursday

Two chances at rain arrive through the day on Thursday.

Brian Hutton Jr.PITTSBURGH —

A quiet Wednesday transitions to rain chances Thursday as a cold front passes. We will be dry this weekend and flirt with 90° next week.

Rain and isolated storm chances approach on Thursday. Most of the region will remain dry but if a storm does develop it could have stronger wind gusts and a bout of heavy rain.

The coverage is not that impressive and will be in the isolated to scattered range. The best time to catch a shower looks to be during the second half of the day. Rain totals will be under a tenth of an inch. Although isolated, a few rumbles of thunder are possible and stronger wind gusts.

The weekend looks fantastic, and finally, a completely dry weekend! The dry, seasonal conditions will continue through Saturday. Temperatures begin to rise on Sunday and into next week. Highs will flirt with 90° to start September before the first, albeit small, rain chance returns for the middle of next week.
