PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - It's a perfect night for baseball but you'll need the hat, sunglasses and sunscreen as temperatures will be well above normal right around 80 degrees.

ALERT: None

AWARE: Weekend rain

We will be mainly dry Friday with more sunshine and highs near 80. There's a small chance for an isolated shower mainly southeast but many will stay dry.

The warm weather sticks around for the weekend, but rain chances return. An area of low pressure will cross the region, bringing scattered showers and even a possible thunderstorm, but there's no risk for severe weather. There will be dry time in the morning to get some fresh air outside and even some dry time during the afternoon and evening. This doesn't look like a wash out, but heavy downpours are possible. It's one of those systems where not everyone will see rain all at once.

On-and-off rain showers will continue Sunday into Monday, as some models right now are showing a total for all three days of only .50" of rainfall. We will certainly keep an eye on this and declare a First Alert Weather Day if needed, but right now it's not looking like that will be the case.

More sunshine, seasonable and comfortable temperatures return next week!
