The National Weather Service (NWS) Pittsburgh is a vital forecast office responsible for monitoring weather across a vast 35-county region spanning western Pennsylvania, east-central Ohio, and northern West Virginia. Headquartered in Moon Township near Pittsburgh International Airport, it serves as the central hub for meteorological data in this tri-state area. In a significant jurisdictional shift on November 10, 2020, oversight of Garrett County, Maryland was officially transferred to the NWS Baltimore/Washington office. The office relies on key first-order climate sites—including Pittsburgh International, Morgantown Municipal, and Wheeling Ohio County airports—to collect critical atmospheric data. To keep the public informed, it also manages nine NOAA Weather Radio stations broadcasting vital alerts and forecasts across the three states.
