Month Of March Saw Wildly Fluctuating Temperatures, Weather Patterns In Pittsburgh

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Last month had some pretty wild weeks weather-wise.

Now that March is over, meteorologists and analysts with the National Weather Service Pittsburgh branch have released some interesting data on what we saw outside.

March in Pittsburgh was hot and cold -- this month was both the eighth snowiest month on record and had the sixteenth-most days for temperatures above 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

The coldest temperature was 9 degrees on March 13, and we ended the month with a balmy 76 degrees.

This was also the first time since 2011 that a tornado was recorded in our area during the month of March.

Just yesterday, the National Weather Service confirmed that an EF2 tornado touched down in Wayne Township on Thursday.

So far, the start to this month is looking like April showers, so make sure to take an umbrella and check First Alert Weather before you go out.
