PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — The weekend is beginning with clear skies, but halfway through, the area will get some much-needed rain.
Saturday morning begins with clear skies and seasonably chilly air following the passage of a dry cold front late Friday evening. High pressure passing to our northeast should leave us with a dry and seasonable day with temperatures maxing out in the mid-50s to near 60 this afternoon.
Overnight into Sunday morning, winds will shift to the southeast as the high pressure center moves away from the region allowing for return flow of moisture and milder air from the southwest. Lows tonight into Sunday morning will be in the mid to upper 40s as a result of the southerly winds and increasing cloud cover.
Our next system will arrive by Sunday with plenty of moisture, wind and a steady rain, especially by midday into the afternoon and evening. Model guidance suggests rainfall amounts around 0.5 to locally over 1″ areawide which will certainly be welcome.
