PITTSBURGH, PA — According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania have been more normal for late September than late August for the past week. But that is about to change.
The warmup begins over the weekend after the average maximum temperature for Pittsburgh for Tuesday and Wednesday was the sixth-coldest on record for Aug. 20-21.
Just how chilly has it been the last couple of days? Well, the observed average max temperature from Tues and Wed was the 6th coldest for those dates and more representative of temperatures we would see near the end of Sept. Not ready for fall?
