Thanksgiving week is off to an easy start. Skies will feature intervals of sun and clouds during the day. Temperatures will climb back above average into the lower 50s by this afternoon.
Clouds will take over tonight ahead of a two-pronged pre-Thanksgiving rain set up for western Pennsylvania.
Impact Day Tuesday for showers
Rain chances will ramp up as the busy travel week progresses. Tomorrow is an Impact Day. A few showers will pop up toward the end of the typical morning commute. Most of the light rain will fall during the middle part of the day.

Colder for the end of Thanksgiving week
Pittsburgh’s high temperatures will slide about 20 degrees between Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day. And that doesn’t account for the wind that will make it feel like the 20s.

The much colder air lingers into Black Friday, but western PA will stay dry and our skies could even trend a little sunnier.
