Rinse & repeat: Scattered showers

Rain in the weekend forecast for Pittsburgh

Rinse & repeat: Scattered showers

Rain in the weekend forecast for Pittsburgh

WELL. WHEN YOU’RE OUT AND ABOUT ACROSS THE AREA LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING, YOU MAY HAVE TO DODGE A SHOWER, POSSIBLY A THUNDERSTORM. BUT WE’RE NOT TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING WIDESPREAD OR ACTIVITY IN THE NEXT FEW AFTERNOONS. GOING TO BE PRETTY SCATTERED FOR US RIGHT NOW. STILL MOSTLY CLOUDY. WE HAVEN’T SEEN MUCH IN THE WAY OF SUN THE PAST FEW AFTERNOONS AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT’S GOING TO BE THE CASE THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS WELL. TEMPERATURES FOR US ALREADY IN THE LOW 70S, SLIGHTLY COOLER JUST BY A DEGREE OR TWO NORTH AND EASTBOUND OF THE CITY, CLOSER TO THE I-80 CORRIDOR, SITTING AT 71 HERE IN PITTSBURGH RIGHT NOW. THE BIG STORY FOR TODAY, TOO, IS THE UPTICK IN HUMIDITY. IT IS STICKY WHEN YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR. TALK ABOUT THOSE DEW POINTS IN THE LOW TO MID 60S. THAT’S WHEN IT STARTS TO FEEL STICKY OUTSIDE. AND THE WAY I LIKE TO PUT IT, THE FRISO METERS, JUST EASIER. BAD HAIR DAYS. THERE’S A LOT OF HAIRSPRAY IN MY HAIR THIS AFTERNOON AND WE’LL PRETTY MUCH STAY IN THIS BALLPARK THROUGHOUT THE REST OF THIS WEEKEND, EVEN FOR A GOOD PORTION OF NEXT WEEK. SO HUMIDITY STAYS A FACTOR WITH US AS WELL AS THIS LOW THAT’S JUST BEEN CONTINUING TO CIRCULATE PRETTY MUCH RIGHT OFF TO OUR WEST OVER IN CENTRAL OHIO RIGHT NOW. AND WE CAN KIND OF SEE THAT CIRCULATE IN HERE ON RADAR AS WELL. COUNTERCLOCKWISE FLOW MEANS WINDS ARE SHIFTING FOR US NOW FOR THE MOST PART OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHEAST. SO IT’S BRINGING IN AND CHUGGING IN A LOT OF THAT MOISTURE FROM THE SOUTH FOR US, TOO. IT’S GOING TO HELP FUEL OUR WET WEATHER PATTERN AND OUR ACTIVE PATTERN THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE EXTENDED. SO LATER ON TODAY, THERE YOU GO, SCATTERED SHOWERS, POSSIBLY A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER LATE THIS EVENING. IF YOU HAVE FRIDAY NIGHT PLANS, KEEP THIS IN MIND, NO WASHOUTS FOR US. BY THE END OF THE WEEKEND, WE COULD PICK UP ANOTHER QUARTER TO A HALF INCH OF RAIN OR SO. AND THAT’S REALLY WHERE SOME OF THOSE HEAVIER BANDS OF RAIN SET UP THROUGH YOUR SATURDAY, MAINLY DRY START TO THE MORNING AS THAT LOW EXITS A FEW AFTERNOON SHOWERS, POSSIBLY A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER. AGAIN, I THINK WE’LL MAKE IT TO THE MID 70S THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD BE RIGHT BEFORE ANY OF THE RAIN ROLLS IN AGAIN TONIGHT. IT WE’LL BE IN THE 60S. 64 IS AT NIGHTTIME. LOW HUMID FOR US TO A LITTLE BIT MUGGY AND POSSIBLY EVEN A LITTLE BIT OF SOME PATCHY FOG COMING UP TOMORROW MORNING. SO K
