Pittsburg, PA
Lingering clouds Saturday morning, partial clearing and warmer temperatures ahead
A narrow swath (between 15-20 miles wide) of moderate snow setup late Friday evening in an east to west zone from HWY 422 south into the northern suburbs of the Pittsburgh metro area. Snowfall amounts in this corridor ranged between 2 inches – 4 inches in spots, but amounts quickly tapered off outside of this zone. This was the result of mesoscale banding or when narrow zones of enhanced lift in the low-middle levels of the atmosphere setup in response to winds and moisture moving across a tight temperature gradient. Officially 3.3 inches fell at Pittsburgh International Airport bringing the season total to 33.7 inches.

Most of the snow has ended as of Saturday morning and we should see decreasing clouds and slightly below normal temperatures into Saturday afternoon. Breezy conditions are expected as well with winds out of the northwest around 15 mph. Saturday night into Sunday morning, a fast-moving disturbance will bring a chance of some scattered flurries and snow showers to our far northeast zones.
Warmer winds out of the southwest will start to kick into high gear on Sunday, which will allow a moderating trend in temperatures each day next week. The air will also be dry, and we don’t anticipate any strong systems to head our way, so that should lead to mostly sunny conditions each day Monday through Wednesday. Temperatures will eventually warm back to unseasonable levels too, with mid to upper 60s and possibly the first 70-degree readings of the season by next Tuesday. A weak cold front may drop temperatures a few degrees by Wednesday, but that appears to be the main weather player for the work week at the moment. Afternoon temperatures will likely warm back close to 70 degrees by the end of next week into next weekend. Long range models are suggesting a return to active weather which includes rain, storms, and cooler temperatures toward the middle half of March.

One of Pittsburgh’s biggest goals before hosting the NFL Draft was to modernize Market Square. It is just one of the spaces in the downtown area that is being transformed for the massive event.

2026 NFL Draft Pittsburgh regional transportation plan unveiled
With the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh quickly approaching, city officials and Pittsburgh Regional Transit unveiled its regional transportion plan.
Extensive road closures will be in place around Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium from April 22-25 as the 2026 NFL Draft brings three days of excitement and football fans into the city of Pittsburgh.
During NFL Draft events, the city’s Downtown and North Shore areas will convert to a walkable “Draft Campus,” with motorized traffic limited to Pittsburgh Regional Transit vehicles, the city’s light rail system (the “T”) and other official providers.
Therefore, many streets into and around the “Draft Campus” are closed to vehicle traffic starting April 22. Traffic patterns will be adjusted to allow Pirates fans to access PNC Park for baseball games held during the road closures, according to NFLDraftPittsburgh.com.
In addition to these streets, the Interstate 279 and Interstate 579 High Occupancy Vehicle lanes into the city are closed to vehicle traffic all week; only authorized bus traffic and emergency vehicles will be permitted to use those lanes.
People planning to use the Beaver County Transit Authority bus to reach downtown Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft events can find more information about the authority’s bus service plans on the BCTA website.
