Pittsburgh Weather: Frost Advisory Issued Before Temperatures Start To Climb

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Good morning!

Wednesday began frosty with a Frost Advisory in place until 9 a.m., but that start will give way to a warmer day.

However, temps will drop again overnight. The National Weather Service issued a Frost Advisory for our entire area, and it goes in effect from 2 a.m. to 8 a.m. Thursday.

Meteorologist Kristin Emery says the frost and freeze concerns stick around tonight before those worries vanish toward the weekend and the 70-degree temperatures will be here to stay.

That's still around 10 degrees cooler than the usual average for May but the slow warm-up begins Wednesday with highs in the lower 60s on the way to mid-60s over the next few days.

We're in for temperatures in the 70s by the weekend and the even better news - a big ridge of high pressure right on top of us keeps the sun shining and the conditions dry for most of the week.

The only rain chance in the forecast is a slight chance of a sprinkle or shower in spots on Friday and again later on Sunday.
