Mother’s Day Weekend in Pittsburgh will see rain chances, clouds, and even some sunshine
Rain chances for the weekend have adjusted. The chance for rain overall is higher today through Sunday. There is now a chance for some thunderstorms on Saturday evening.
Mother’s Day rain works its way through our area all day long.
There are some pretty big changes when it comes to the timing of rain and even storms for the weekend. What was looking pretty easy, with Saturday morning rain and then Sunday afternoon to evening rain, has now become a little more complex.
Some of this started yesterday as we began to see Saturday morning’s rain chance sneaking into Friday evening. That has continued today with fairly widespread rain expected to arrive as soon as around 6 p.m. for Pittsburgh.
Even ahead of the main round of rain, isolated showers will be around this morning, and scattered showers will roll through at times this afternoon. Overall rain totals should be less than a quarter of an inch before midnight.
Rain will continue overnight, with consistent rain wrapping up around 9 a.m. on Saturday. There will be more rain working its way through the area later Saturday evening, with the potential during this time for a storm or two. Sandwiched between the morning rain and the evening storms will be a really nice day, so make sure you get out and enjoy it.
Highs on Saturday may hit 70 degrees. I have Pittsburgh seeing a high of just 68°. Noon temperatures should already be near 60°.
Sunday’s rain chance is now low, with just a scattered rain chance.
Unlike what it looked like earlier this week, I can’t rule out a passing shower over the course of the day.
Still, more than 80 percent of your Sunday will be dry. There will be plenty of time to take mom out and to enjoy a nice meal or a nice walk. Sunday highs should be in the mid-60s with morning temperatures in the upper 40s. Skies on Sunday will be mostly cloudy to overcast.
The best chance for rain next week comes on Wednesday. Your rain chance next week for any other place is looking VERY low. Temperatures will be in the low 60s for highs on Monday and Tuesday, but we should be seeing 70s for highs late in the work week and next weekend.

Bystander helps students involved in school bus crash in Pittsburgh’s Highland Park neighborhood
Just before 8 a.m. on Thursday morning, a school bus rammed into a tree in Highland Park.
The students on the bus were being transported to Schiller STEAM Academy when the driver began to swerve, ultimately running off the road and colliding with the tree on Bryant Street.
According to EMS, about 10 students were on the bus, and they were evaluated on the scene. Medics on the scene determined the students had not been injured in the crash.
A woman who lived nearby heard the crash and immediately jumped into action to help the students.
“Utmost importance was the kids’ safety,” said Vinnie Branch, the bystander. “I just wanted to make sure they were safe, and I just went into mom mode to protect them.”
“I think it looks a lot worse than it turned out to be,” said Brian Haravan, Pittsburgh EMS District Chief. “Thankfully, the utility pole wasn’t damaged, so while the school bus and property were, everyone else seemed ok.”
The driver of the bus was taken to the hospital for evaluation, and the cause of the crash is under investigation.
A towing company employee fatally shot another employee after a fight on Wednesday evening in Springdale Township, police said.
In a news release, the Allegheny County Police Department said the shooting happened around 5 p.m. at Oak’s Auto/Truck Service on School Street. At the scene, authorities said first responders found a man with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
County police said preliminary information shows that an argument between the two employees escalated into a fight. During the physical confrontation, officials said one employee fatally shot the other. Police did not release any additional details about the shooting, including the names of those involved.
Investigators will consult with the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office on whether the shooter will be charged, officials said.
Anyone with information about the shooting can call the county police tip line at 1-833-ALL-TIPS. Callers can remain anonymous.
The Pittsburgh Steelers brought in veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the middle of the 2025 NFL season, bringing in Aaron Rodgers’ long-time friend and former teammate with the Green Bay Packers to aid the receiving corps. After being elevated to the active roster, Valdes-Scantling had 10 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in five games with the Steelers.
MVS signed with the Dallas Cowboys in free agency. Speaking with Yahoo! Sports, Valdes-Scantling revealed why he didn’t return to Pittsburgh in free agency.
“I was still interested in playing for Pittsburgh,” Valdes-Scantling said. “But I was very adamant on [wanting] to play with Aaron if I was going to go back to Pittsburgh because he’s one of my best friends that I’ve made in this league over my nine-year career. He was still undecided if he was going to go back and play or if he was going to hang it up, so I was like, ‘Let’s see what else is out there.’”
The Steelers added Michael Pittman to their receiving corps by trading for him on the first day of the league year in March, and also added Alabama product Germie Bernard in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Comparing this current group of pass-catchers to those of previous years has fans excited about the potential ceiling of the offense.
