Pittsburgh: A Wet Start the Weekend

The upcoming weekend will not be the best for outdoor activities, but there is a chance for improvement on Sunday.
First a push of warmer and slightly more humid air may bring spotty showers and thunderstorms to the region on Friday, then a slow-moving cool front will bring more general showers and storms Friday night into Saturday. During this time, there will be a risk of flash and urban flooding along with locally gusty winds.
Despite the risk of a downpour Friday, temperatures will peak near 80 degrees.

As long as the front keeps moving to the east on Sunday, the weather will improve for the latter part of the weekend.

Folks heading to PNC Park for the Pirates and Reds series Friday and Saturday should expect some rainfall during at least part of their games.
Much cooler weather will move into the area during Saturday, despite warm conditions Friday night.
For fans heading to Happy Valley for the Penn State/Kent State game, bring wet weather gear. There is the potential for a dose of windswept, heavy rain during the midday and afternoon.
While clouds may be slow to leave on Sunday, there should be nothing more than a few sprinkles.
