Dry days will be hard to come by around Pittsburgh through the week with a shower or thunderstorm in the forecast on a daily basis.
"Tuesday morning will start out with areas of fog, especially along the area's rivers," AccuWeather.com Meteorologist Brian Edwards said. "That fog will break for a mix of clouds and sunshine."

By afternoon, a few showers and thunderstorms will pop up across the area ahead of an approaching cold front.
The high will reach the lower 80s, which is typical for this time of year, he said.
"Showers and thunderstorms will linger into Tuesday night, perhaps leading to some delays during the Pirates and Braves game which is set for 7:05 p.m. at PNC Park," he said.

Unsettled weather will continue into Wednesday as the cold front moves through the area.
More showers and thunderstorms are expected as high temperatures reach the 80-degree mark.
By Thursday, a chance for sunshine will return, but the threat for a shower or thunderstorm will remain late in the week.
"The cold front will stall near the area into Thursday before shifting south of the area by Friday," Edwards said.
Highs for both day will be around 80 F.
