Pittsburgh will be colder than Alaska this week

PITTSBURGH — Our forecast temperature for Thursday morning is -6 degrees.

The last time it was this cold was January of last year. Should the low dip to -7 degrees, it will be the coldest since Feb. 24, 2015, when Pittsburgh dipped to -9 degrees.

The record low is -3 degrees. The forecast high is 9. The record "cold high" is 6 degrees from 1936.

At this point, it seems reasonable we make a run at the "cold high" record for Wednesday and the record low for Thursday morning.

The coldest-ever temperature on record for Pittsburgh is -22 degrees, which happened Jan. 19, 1994.
