Weather around Pittsburgh
The Laurel Highlands east of Pittsburgh sit higher than the city and run a few degrees cooler, which helps in summer. Towns like Ligonier are a short drive, and the ridges get more snow in winter.
Lake Erie is the other influence. In spring and early summer the lakeshore around Erie can be cooler than inland, and late in the year it brings lake-effect clouds and snow. Fronts cross the region quickly, so Saturday and Sunday are worth reading separately.
How we pick
"Good" means a high from 55F to 88F, a forecast of sun or clouds, and at most a 30% chance of rain or snow, with no thunderstorm, dangerous heat or cold, strong gusts or smoke. "Mixed" means one day is good and the other isn't. Picks are ordered by that, then by the forecast and how much of a destination the town is.
Drive times start at the center of Pittsburgh and go to the center of each town. They come from a table built on OpenStreetMap and do not include traffic or seasonal road closures.
