PITTSBURGH — Air quality will be a concern again Friday. A Code Orange Air Quality Alert continues for the area with wildfire smoke creating unhealthy conditions.
Dust off the umbrella and take that with you as you head out too. A few showers or an isolated storm may pop up after lunch into the early evening, but it won’t be enough to clear up the very dry conditions across the area.
Air quality will gradually improve Saturday and Sunday as the slow-moving system across the northeast that’s been steering smoke into our area finally moves out.
Rain chances will also increase late Sunday and Monday which will continue to bring air quality improvements.
Air Quality Alert: Level Orange (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups). Surface smoke forecast showing an increase in smoke again tonight and Friday (orange and red). Live coverage and tracking now on Channel 11 Morning News.
