14 years ago today, the remnants of “Superstorm” Sandy rolled through our area, bringing heavy rain and wind gusts near 50 mph.
Today will mark 13 straight days without measurable rain, and that may continue for some time! It will be warm and sunny this afternoon ahead of a cold front that will pass us tonight.
The next best chance for rain won’t come until next Sunday or the following Monday.
Clear skies and a light southerly wind will allow temperatures to rise a bit more this weekend, with highs today in the mid-60s and highs Sunday pushing closer to the upper 60s.
Today will mark our seventh consecutive dry day...with just a few clouds around this morning. Otherwise, highs will be very seasonable for late October in the low 60s.
Our beautiful weather is here to stay, with high temperatures staying in the 60s right through the weekend.
A Frost Advisory is in effect from Pittsburgh points south, with the growing season deemed over for areas north of the city.
Once the sun rises, we’ll warm up in a hurry with highs pushing into the low 60s.
Expect increasing amounts of sun this afternoon, but highs will struggle just to get back to 50 degrees.
A line of gusty showers and possible storms will cross around midday, with the strongest winds expected to be from roughly Pittsburgh and points east.
