Pittsburgh police said they are also looking into a report of an armed carjacking in East Liberty late Sunday.

Police spokesperson Cara Cruz confirmed officers responded to the carjacking report around 9:45 p.m. Sunday to the 5700 block of Penn Avenue.

According to police, a male was sitting inside his vehicle when another male opened the driver's side door, pointed a firearm at him and forced him out of the car.

Police said there were no injuries reported.

Tons of sun expected for week ahead

November sunshine is a thing — at least this week.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Bill Modzelewski said it "looks like a pretty calm week with sunshine until some clouds increase on Friday."

Highs will be in the 50s and 60s beginning Wednesday.

Normal highs for this time of year are around 52 degrees, Modzelewski said.

Wind gusts are expected Monday, but otherwise look for sunny and dry weather with no snow in the seven-to-10-day forecast.

Compared to last year, Pittsburgh is running a bit above on average high/low temperatures.

"We do have cold front moving in from the west into the region Friday that will get us back to average temperatures for this time of year," he said.
