Storms to Hit Pittsburgh This Sunday, Cooler Weather Ahead

In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a cold front is expected to bring cooler temperatures starting Sunday, following a warm Saturday. The region will experience a shift in winds to the southwest, leading to unseasonably warm conditions with highs reaching the upper 70s to low 80s. As the day progresses, increasing moisture and instability will likely result in scattered showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the late afternoon and evening. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a 'Marginal Risk' for severe storms, which may be upgraded based on evolving conditions. The primary threats include strong wind gusts and hail, with a low-end tornado risk in certain areas. As the storm system moves through, it is anticipated that any precipitation will clear out by late evening, paving the way for a cooler weather pattern next week. This shift will bring highs in the low 60s and lows in the 40s, marking a transition to fall-like conditions. The potential for frost is also expected by the end of the week, especially in higher elevations. Residents are advised to prepare for changing weather, particularly those attending outdoor events such as the Steelers game on Sunday evening, where rain gear may be necessary.
