The mild and dry streak continues despite the clouds in the forecast.
PITTSBURGH —
Clouds are a part of the weekend forecast but the change won’t hamper your outdoor plans. The warm and dry streak ends next week with rain showers arriving Thursday.
The Halloween forecast is a treat
The forecast looks great for all the ghosts and goblins going trick or treating. During the day, daytime highs will peak near 60° with mostly cloudy skies. As the sun sets at 6:17 p.m., temperatures will drop down a bit where you may need a light jacket.
Daylight Saving Time ends tonight
This is also the weekend that we turn the clocks back. Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday. While we “gain” an hour of sleep, the sun sets an hour earlier. Tomorrow evening’s sunset is at 5:17 p.m.
One of Pittsburgh’s longest dry spells
Dry conditions through the weekend and the first half of next week. This could be one of Pittsburgh’s top 10, if not top 5, longest rain-free stretches. It has already been 13 days, and counting, since our last drop of rain.
We finally have agreement on when our next system arrives. It should get here Thursday to bring rain showers to Western PA. Rain will likely linger through at least Friday with a big drop in temperatures. We may drop below average for the first time in almost three weeks by next weekend.
