Just Look Up
You don't need the Weather Channel to know the forecast in downtown Pittsburgh. You can tell just be looking up at the Gulf Tower.
The tower is an art-deco skyscraper, a sort of mini-Empire State Building. The pyramid at the top illuminates colors at night according to weather conditions and can be seen for miles. If it's black and gold, you'll know that one of the city's pro teams just brought home a winner!
