TIMES NOW COMING UP ON 519 ON THIS SUNDAY MORNING. LISTEN, SATURDAY WAS NICE ONCE WE GOT THAT RAIN OUT OF HERE, BUT SUNDAY IS LOOKING EVEN BETTER. I KNOW WE’RE ALL READY FOR SUMMER NOW. THIS POINT IS APRIL IS COMING TO A CLOSE AND ALREADY OFF TO A WARM START THIS MORNING. A LITTLE BIT OF A SPREAD IN TEMPERATURE ANYWHERE FROM 52 IN KITTANNING RIGHT NOW TO 66 HERE IN THE CITY. ALSO WAKING UP TO THE MID 60S IN MORGANTOWN, UNIONTOWN, NEW CASTLE, SOME OF THOSE COOLER POCKETS YOU’RE ACTUALLY SEEING, SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS AS YOU GET THE DAY STARTED. BUT EVERYBODY WARMING UP RATHER SWIFTLY AS WE GO INTO THE AFTERNOON. HIGH TEMPERATURES RUNNING A GOOD 15 TO EVEN 20 DEGREES ABOVE WHERE WE SHOULD BE FOR THE LATE STAGE OF APRIL. IT’S GOING TO BE FEELING MORE LIKE THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER. THIS AFTERNOON, WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S RIGHT AROUND 80. LOOK TO THE NORTH OF THE CITY, 86 IN PITTSBURGH, ALSO LOW TO MID 80S. WE TRAVEL DOWN TOWARDS THE SOUTH. IF TODAY WASN’T ENOUGH, TOMORROW WE’RE DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN. TRYING TO BREAK OUT THE SHORTS IN FACT, WE COULD BE CHALLENGING A RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURE ON MONDAY IN THE CITY, FORECASTING 88. THE RECORD ALSO 88 LONG STANDING ONE DEAN BACK TO 1899. SO CERTAINLY GOES TO SHOW HOW UNUSUAL THIS HIGH HEAT IS THIS EARLY IN THE SEASON. TAKING A LIVE LOOK OUT OVER THE CITY. HERE’S ACTION CAM. YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE CLOUDS I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THEY WILL BREAK AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. NOW ANY MENTION OF SHOWERS TODAY WILL BE CONFINED RIGHT AROUND I-80. IT’S A PRETTY HIT OR MISS AS WE GO THROUGH THE DAY. EVERYBODY ELSE WILL WRAP UP THE WEEKEND ON A DRY NOTE. WE’LL CARRY THAT THEME INTO THE START OF THE NEW WORKWEEK AS WELL, KICKING OFF YOUR MONDAY. MAYBE JUST SOME PATCHY VALLEY FOG. OUTSIDE OF THAT GOOD AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE. REALLY BUILDING UP THOSE TEMPERATURES AS WE WORK THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AS WE WAKE UP ON TUESDAY, THAT WILL BE OUR FIRST POSSIBILITY OF A FEW SHOWERS SOMEWHAT. HO HUM. COLD FRONTS CAN BE TRACKING OUR WAY, BUT STILL. TUESDAY DOES BECOME AN IMPACT DAY FOR US WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS, POSSIBLY SOME AFTERNOON RUMBLES OF THUNDER. AND ONCE THAT CLEARS, IT SHOULD BE QUIETING DOWN AS WE LOOK TOWARDS THE EARLY DAYS OF MAY. TODAY. VERY WARM, BRIGHTER THAN YESTERDAY. 86 GOES INTO THE BOOKS FOR THE HIGH TEMPERATURE AND AGAIN UP TOWARDS I. 80 CAN’T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER, MAYBE EVEN A RUMBLE OF THUNDER THIS AFTERNOON. CLEAR WITH PATCHY FOG TONIGHT. STAYING WARM ONCE AGAIN. WILL WAKE UP IN THE LOWER 60S TOMORROW. BE ON RECORD HIGH. WATCH FORECASTING 88. THAT IS ALSO THE RECORD HIGH HERE IN THE CITY AGAIN TUESDAY IS AN IMPACT DAY WITH SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS. AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM CHANCES THAT FRONT WILL QUICKLY CLEAR. YOU’LL NOTICE TEMPERATURES QUICKLY RALLY. WE START OFF IN THE MID 50S. ON THE FIRST MORNING OF MAY, ABOUT 80 FOR A HIGH TEMPERATURE. STILL MORE SUMMER-LIKE DAYS TO COME. HOW ABOUT 85 ON THURSDAY? STAYING IN THE 80S THROUGH FRIDAY. THAT’S WHEN WE BRING BACK THE MENTION OF SOME SCATTERED SHOWERS, MAYBE A LITTLE WET, LEADING UP TO THE PITTSBURGH MARATHON, BUT LOOKS TO BE RATHER REFRESHING FOR THE RUNNERS. NEXT SUNDAY I WAS GOING TO SAY, YEAH, THE COOLEST DAY IN THAT STRETCH OF THE EXTENDED FORECAST. GOOD THAT IT’S GOING TO BE TODAY. YEAH, SHOULD N
