PITTSBURGH — We’ll continue our big late-October warmup today with highs pushing into the upper 70s. Thursday’s record high is 79 degrees set in 1950. We’ll come close with warm southwest winds Thursday afternoon.

Showers will be possible for trick-or-treaters Thursday evening as the next front approaches. However, most of the rain should hold off until after the kids collect their annual candy tax. It will be very warm for Halloween with highs in the mid 70s, nearly 20 degrees above normal.
