Pittsburgh looking at periods of rain on Wednesday then a dry and mild rest of the week
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Tuesday brought record-breaking warmth to Pittsburgh with a high of 81 degrees. This broke the old record of 80 set in 1948 and is also the second warmest temperature ever recorded for the month of November. After a very dry few weeks across the Ohio Valley region, today brings in the best chance of rain since about mid-October across Western PA and Northern West Virginia.

A band of steady light to moderate rain will spread into our area by 7-8 a.m. this morning and persist for a few hours before dissipating gradually around noon.
This will leave us with mostly cloudy skies and mild conditions with temperatures reaching the upper 60s to near 70 for most areas today. As the cold front associated with this system moves southeast, additional isolated to scattered showers will develop. There may even be a thunderstorm as models show very minimal amounts of potential energy in place.
By tonight and Thursday morning, the best chance of showers will shift toward the Laurel Highlands and our Northern West Virginia counties with temperatures dropping into the mid to upper 50s by daybreak Thursday. Total rainfall amounts will range from 0.1″ to locally over 0.25″ in our northwestern zones.
Skies will gradually clear Thursday afternoon and evening. The low temperature for Thursday will occur closer to midnight as cooler air settles into the region late.
For Friday and Saturday expect mostly sunny conditions and mild temperatures. The potency of the cooler air behind this front will be lacking substantially, so we expect temperatures to still be above normal despite the passage of a cold front moving through. Our next system looks to arrive by Sunday with increasing clouds, moisture, and winds along with plenty of showers, especially by Sunday afternoon and evening.
A few thunderstorms are possible too given that there will be some potential energy along with strong winds aloft to help organize storms. Following the passage of this system, temperatures STILL look to stay mild next week with no sign of any substantial cold air mass in the foreseeable future.

Gas prices continue to sit near the $5 mark for the better part of the Pittsburgh region. Not only is it impacting people’s wallets, but it’s also hitting the bottom lines of first responders’ operations.
While gas prices are not impacting day-to-day operations, budgets are always tight, and if prices stay high, it could have some long-term impacts. First responders say they’ll still come when you call 911, so there’s no need to panic, but there is some concern behind the scenes.
“We can’t charge more for our services. The only way to weather the storm is to become more efficient,” Regional Emergency Support Quick Response Service director Mike Gallagher said.
RESQRS said gas is normally about $2,500 to $3,000 a month. From March to April, it was $5,500. The ambulance they wanted to get this year is now on hold as costs go up.
“It definitely has affected other parts of the business and how we operate,” Gallagher said over Zoom.
It’s the same for volunteer firefighters. Southern Allegheny Valley Emergency Services had its bill go from $300 to $400, up to $1,000 last month. This price spike was, of course, never anticipated when making the budget last year.
“It absolutely wasn’t. We just have to take money from other things and reprioritize,” SAVES fire chief Mike Daniher said.
Medic Rescue in Bridgewater, Beaver County, covers that county and takes patients to Wexford and Pittsburgh hospitals. They easily rack up hundreds of miles a day driving. Insurance doesn’t cover gas spikes, and fuel reimbursements are set from the prior year.
“I don’t see how it would be sustainable in the long term without some changes in financing,” Medic Rescue director of operations Bill Pasquale said.
An immediate impact for many services is putting new equipment on the back burner. While grants can be used for that, there’s no guarantee it’s accepted.

Pittsburgh will have afternoon storm chances on Wednesday with gusty winds and lightning
It will be stormy this afternoon, and then cooler for the rest of the work week.
Temperatures then warm up with record-setting temperatures possible early next week. It’s going to be a busy stretch of weather. Let’s get right into it.
Rain chances today are low overall. The headline is the storm chance that occurs this afternoon. Gusty winds, frequent lightning, and isolated but intense downpours are expected as a narrow line of storms develops and rolls through Western Pennsylvania. The line of storms will be intensifying as it moves from the west to the east.
Right now, it looks like the storms will roll through between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
By the time you see this blog, our best chance for morning rain should have come and gone. Rain totals will not be very impressive today; most will see less than 0.05 inches of rain.
That excludes rain coming from afternoon storms.
Afternoon storms could add another fifth of an inch of rain for those who see the most ‘intense’ cells sliding through their areas. Temperatures in the morning are in the 50s. We will quickly rise up to the mid-60s for temperatures this afternoon ahead of storms. Temperatures will then dip back down to the 50s for the rest of the day, with brisk winds coming in from the northwest at around 15 mph.
Thursday highs will only hit the mid-50s.
We stay cool through Friday morning. We’d have to worry about frost on Friday if it wasn’t for the cloud cover that’s expected. Friday highs will be near 70°. Saturday and Sunday highs are expected to hit the low 80s both days.
A perfect ‘storm’ of low humidity levels, plenty of sunshine, and a strengthening sun angle will allow us to potentially see record highs early next week. I have high temperatures in the 90s on both Monday and Tuesday next week.
The record high for Monday is 91°, and that is what I am forecasting for a high.
