Pittsburgh: Warming up into Spring this weekend<\/p>\n

A couple of chances at rain accompany the warmup. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTHE BUILDING. WE\u2019RE IN THE LAST BLAST HERE OF WINTER AS WE SAY GOODBYE TO WINTER TOMORROW, AS WE\u2019LL START WARMING UP. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A COLD DAY. WE\u2019RE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. WE\u2019RE BACK TO THE 50S ON THURSDAY. WE\u2019LL WATCH FOR SHOWER CHANCE LATE IN THE DAY. AND THEN FRIDAY WE OFFICIALLY WELCOME IN SPRING. IT\u2019S AT 1046 IN THE MORNING AND WE\u2019LL KEEP WARMING INTO THE WEEKEND AS WELL. STILL SOME SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. THESE ARE VERY FEW AND FAR BETWEEN AND DECREASING IN COVERAGE. AND THAT TREND WILL CONTINUE. BUT UNTIL WE GET PAST SUNSET. IF YOU ARE HEADING OUTSIDE, BE AWARE YOU MAY COME UNDERNEATH ONE OF THESE POCKETS OF HEAVIER SNOW. AND THE MAIN CONCERN IS REDUCING VISIBILITY. SO IF YOU ARE DRIVING. JUST SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND. WE START AT 16. TOMORROW WE WILL FINISH AT 38 DEGREES. WE\u2019LL MAKE IT TO 53 ON THURSDAY. WE ARE WATCHING FOR RAIN CHANCE LATE IN THE DAY AS RAIN SHOWERS OVERSPREAD THE AREA, LIKELY AS WE GET PAST THE EVENING COMMUTE. WE\u2019LL PAUSE FUTURECAST HERE AT 7:00. WE\u2019LL LIKELY SEE OUR MOST WIDESPREAD RAIN SHOWERS ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT THIS IS A QUICK MOVING SYSTEM. AS WE GET CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT, THOSE RAIN SHOWERS ARE GONE AND THIS SYSTEM IS NOT REALLY GOING TO USHER IN COLDER AIR. WE GET WARMER ON FRIDAY. WE\u2019RE UP TO 5660 DEGREES FOR US ON SATURDAY. SUNDAY WILL WATCH FOR ANOTHER SYSTEM TO ARRIVE. QUESTIONS ON TIMING. WITH THIS ONE, WE SHOULD MAKE IT TO 64 DEGREES BEFORE RAIN CHANCES GET HERE, BUT THERE\u2019S REALLY TWO WINDOWS OF TIME WE\u2019RE WATCHING. ONE WOULD BE AS EARLY AS ABOUT MID-AFTERNOON, THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE LATER IN THE DAY, PERHAPS AFTER SUNSET LASTING INTO EARLY ON MONDAY MORNING. SO WE\u2019LL WATCH THE TIMING WITH THIS. THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN SHOWERS, AND THIS WILL DROP OUR TEMPERATURES HEADING INTO NEXT WEEK. WE\u2019RE IN THE 40S MONDAY AND TUESDAY, BUT WE ARE BACK INTO THE 50S WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEDNESDAY. IF YOU\u2019RE NOT SEEING THOSE SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE, SUNSHINE IS POKING THROUGH, BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE WALL WHERE SOME OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS ARE HERE ON ACTION CAM TEMPERATURE OF 23 AT PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL. IT\u2019S STILL BREEZY. WINDS ARE NORTHWEST AT 24, SO IT FEELS LIKE IT IS SEVEN DEGREES OUTSIDE. THE GOOD NEWS AS THE SNOW SHOWERS TAPER OFF, THE WIND WILL ALSO DIE DOWN, SO WIND CHILL. NOT A MAJOR CONCERN. TOMORROW WE ARE STARTING IN THE TEENS. WE WILL FINISH IN THE 30S AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND AGAIN WE ARE HEADING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. TEMPERATURES WILL WARM FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. WE\u2019LL MAKE IT INTO THE 60S THIS WEEKEND. DESPITE TWO CHANCES OF RAIN, ONE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
