KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (3/10)

03:15

It’s going to be a sunny day with warm temperatures throughout the Pittsburgh area.

Any Alert Days Ahead? None

Aware: A lunar eclipse will occur on Friday. Looks promising that we will be able to see it.

Today will be sunny and warmer than average by about 15 to 20 degrees. Morning temps dipped to the 30s in most communities. Noon temperatures will be in the mid-50s. Winds will be light; coming out of the southwest at around 5mph for most of the day. Today’s sunset is at 7:23.

Unlike our previous warm-ups that were brief over the past month, this time warm air is getting comfortable and will be here for the entire week. I have highs today hitting the mid-60s. I have Wednesday as the coolest day of the week right now with highs just in the mid to low 60s. The coolest afternoon will likely be on Sunday though as cool air rolls in behind a morning cold front. I am forecasting highs in the 70s for both Friday and Saturday.

Tuesday won’t be as sunny with some clouds expected for the afternoon. A shallow cold front will roll through late Tuesday followed closely by a warm front. Both are expected to come through dry, but I am putting in a 20% chance for Wednesday due to the fronts. I can’t rule out some sprinkles or a very isolated shower or two.

This week is a big one for astrologists with a lunar eclipse happening this Friday. For us, the peak of the eclipse will occur at 2:56 a.m.

The moon will turn a dark red hue, with the eclipse lasting for just over an hour. That means the moon will begin to turn red as soon as 2:25 a.m. with the effect ending around 3:25 a.m.

Our skies are looking clear during that time. I will have more on the eclipse throughout the week.

Rookie Pittsburgh Steelers running back surprisingly out against Lions

Rookie Pittsburgh Steelers running back surprisingly out against Lions

DETROIT — The Pittsburgh Steelers have made rookie running back Kaleb Johnson a surprise inactive against the Detroit Lions. They have just three running backs on the roster, and some other players who could end up playing at running back if injuries arise is Connor Heyward or Jonnu Smith.

Meanwhile, the Steelers will still be without wide receiver Roman Wilson, who has been made inactive the last three weeks after the additions of Adam Thielen and Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the room. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Scotty Miller’s ability to be a backup punt returner is one of the key reasons he is active over Wilson.

As for injuries, there is nothing unexpected there. Outside linebackers T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig were ruled out. Jack Sawyer, a rookie out of Ohio State, will make his first career start.

Cornerback James Pierre will miss his second straight game with a calf injury. Asante Samuel Jr. will fill in for him, and he nabbed a pick against the Dolphins a week ago. The Steelers elevated Daryl Porter Jr. to give them some depth.

Guard Isaac Seumalo is sidelined with a triceps strain. With him out, the Steelers will turn to Spencer Anderson to start there.

Quarterback Will Howard will continue to serve as the emergency third quarterback.
