PITTSBURGH, PA – Drivers in Pittsburgh should prepare for a slow Tuesday morning commute as patchy fog develops across the city, particularly along Parkway East and I-376, where visibility may drop suddenly. Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time and use low-beam headlights during the early rush hours.
Fog Expected to Form Overnight
The National Weather Service in Moon Township reports that fog will begin forming after midnight and persist into Tuesday morning before giving way to sunshine. East winds around 5 mph will remain light, keeping temperatures mild with a high near 83 degrees. Conditions are expected to clear quickly by late morning, giving way to bright skies for most of the afternoon.
Morning Commute Hazards
Drivers should exercise caution, as fog pockets can develop rapidly near rivers and low-lying areas. Schools and early bus routes may experience delays due to slower traffic, and residents planning to fly out of Pittsburgh International Airport should check for brief delays caused by reduced visibility.
Midweek Weather Outlook
The warm pattern continues through midweek, with highs reaching around 90 degrees through Thursday. Air conditioners will remain necessary before a slight cooldown arrives later in the week. By Friday, highs are expected to dip into the lower 80s, with the first signs of fall-like air appearing over the weekend.
Weekend Conditions
Mornings are forecasted to be cooler on Saturday, with overnight lows in the lower 60s. Sunshine will dominate most of the period, providing ideal weather for outdoor activities once the Tuesday morning fog dissipates.
Safety Reminder
Residents are encouraged to stay alert for updated advisories from the National Weather Service, as fog could thicken more than expected. Another round of patchy fog is possible from Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
