PITTSBURGH — It’ll be a sunny and cool afternoon with temperatures only climbing into the low 60s.

Tonight will be our chilliest night of the season, with most backyards dropping into the low to mid-30s. A Freeze Warning is in effect for most of our area. If you haven’t done so yet, protect your outdoor plants or bring them inside!

A shift in winds will bring our highs closer to 70 Friday afternoon. That slight warming trend will continue into the weekend, with showers expected by late Sunday.

An even colder shot of air will blast through next week as highs struggle to get out of the low 50s both Monday and Tuesday. Get ready to dig out the thicker coats!
