The warm start to this week will turn wet as a couple of inches of rain could fall in the Pittsburgh region, according to the National Weather Service.
“Tuesday will be a nice day with a cold front moving. We will have a high of 48 but that is still about 10 degrees above the average,” said meteorologist Bill Modzelewski.
Rain will move into the area Tuesday night and into Wednesday and could one to two inches of rain, Modzelewski said. This will cause small streams and area rivers to rise.
Temperatures during the day Wednesday will rise to 55 degrees.
Thursday’s high will be about 60 with periodic rain showers.
Friday will be clear but colder with temperatures of about 40.
The arriving cold front will also provide dry air, but it will warm up only to about 30 degrees, according to the forecast.
