Rain returns Wednesday night and prompts an Impact Day for Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

The warm and dry stretch lives on through the early days of November for western Pennsylvania. Despite the clouds, temperatures warm into the 70s by mid-week. The pattern changes with the first rain in weeks prompting an Impact Day Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

Cloudy but milder Sunday<\/p>\n

The increasing clouds stunned the warm up yesterday. We will get a little extra boost today with highs in the mid to upper 60s. A few sunny breaks will show up early this afternoon.<\/p>\n

Turning up the temperature for the early days of November.<\/p>\n

The cloudy but dry theme extends through mid-week. Election Day will likely feature a little more sunshine. Temperatures are warming up too. Highs could be ten to fifteen degrees above-normal Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Rain returns, Impact Day Thursday morning<\/p>\n

This could be one of Pittsburgh’s top 10, if not top 5, longest rain-free stretches in the last 10 years. It has already been 14 days, and counting, since our last drop of rain.<\/p>\n

Thursday is an Impact Day for the timing of the steady rain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rain returns after dark Wednesday and continues through the Thursday morning commute. It is the timing of the steady rain that prompts Thursday’s Impact Day. This system will hang around the Ohio Valley through Friday and spiral more showers our way. No flooding issues are expected, but it is a good idea to clear the piled up leaves from storm drains. Rain totals of a third to half an inch are expected around the Pittsburgh area.<\/p>\n

More pattern changes<\/p>\n

It is not just the rain that changes the weather story. The late-week front will plunge temperatures closer to normal, if not below-average. Highs will be in the 50s for next weekend.<\/p>\n
