The high winds brought trees and utility wires down across the area. Pittsburgh firefighters extinguished a fire after downed power lines were found on the roof of a building on Robinson Street in West Oakland at 4 a.m. Sunday. No one was hurt. Officials are investigating the cause of the fire.

Power outages were scattered around the region, including in Allegheny and Westmoreland counties.

Temperatures will remain unseasonably high for much of the week. High temperatures are predicted to be in the 40s and 50s this week. The average high temperature for Jan. 12 is 36 degrees, Lake said.

Saturday’s 70-degree high temperatures smashed a 130-year-old record, according to the service. The previous record was 68 degrees set in 1890. Similar records around the Eastern United States were broken by Saturday’s warm weather.
