Pittsburgh, PA – Unseasonably warm weather with temperatures reaching the 70s could make Halloween comfortable for Pittsburgh trick-or-treaters, but rain might dampen evening plans. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Pittsburgh predicts a mix of “treats” and “tricks” for this week, with Halloween night bringing possible showers across western Pennsylvania.
According to NWS, the area has a high chance of temperatures above 70 degrees on Tuesday, marking an unusually warm Halloween. This temperature spike, well above Pittsburgh’s average October high of 57 degrees, will likely draw residents outside early in the evening. However, rain may arrive as the evening progresses, with precipitation chances varying across the region. The NWS highlights that rain is most likely to impact areas northeast from Zanesville, OH, up to Mercer, PA, from mid-afternoon to evening.
For those planning outdoor activities, the NWS suggests keeping a close eye on updated forecasts, especially on Halloween afternoon. While the exact timing of rainfall is uncertain, the probability of rain increases from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., when families traditionally begin trick-or-treating. Areas south of Pittsburgh could face more mild conditions with rain probabilities below 30%, whereas Pittsburgh itself sees chances near 60% in some forecast scenarios…
