PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Yesterday we saw just over a tenth of an inch of rain falling. That rain, along with quickly clearing skies in the overnight hours and light winds has allowed fog to form in spots this morning.

(Photo Credit: KDKA Weather Center) Fog should burn off by the 9:00 a.m. hour, leaving partly sunny skies for the rest of the day. There is a low rain chance this morning as a weak boundary extending off of an upper low drifts to the east. (Photo Credit: KDKA Weather Center) I consider today a transition day as yesterday’s upper low was absorbed back into the jet stream and another dominant upper low moves our way, located just north of Minnesota. There is a rain band extending out from the upper low into western Pennsylvania. This is likely … [Read more...] about Pittsburgh Weather: Foggy Start, Warmer Afternoon Temperatures

Butler/NBAE via Getty Images After an incredibly tough year characterized by disconnection and alienation, you may need a reminder that the world is a glorious place full of sublime wonder, that life can still come out of nowhere and surprise you. May I submit to you the following bit of evidence for this thesis: The New York Knicks are good. Okay, okay, fine: So they are not good , exactly. After their win Monday night over the defending champion (but LeBron James and Anthony Davis-less) Los Angeles Lakers, they are one game over .500 three-quarters of the way through a truncated, pandemic-riddled, still-impressively-robust NBA season, and if all goes perfectly for them the rest of the way, they’ll “win” the opportunity to get drilled by the Nets, 76ers, or Bucks — actual championship contenders — in the first round of the playoffs.
