Police respond to crash that forced awning of building to collapse in Clairton, Allegheny County
AROUND THE BUILDING. BRIAN. YEAH, TODAY’S A GOOD DAY FOR ICE CREAM OR ANYTHING ELSE. AS TEMPERATURES WARM AGAIN TOWARDS 70 DEGREES AND WE SHOULD GET THERE TOMORROW. WE’LL WATCH FOR THE CHANCE OF A STRAY SHOWER, BUT REALLY OUR MAIN RAIN DAY IS WEDNESDAY. THAT’S WHEN A COLD FRONT BRINGS HERE TO BRING RAIN AND A FEW ISOLATED STORMS. THEY COULD GET STRONG TO SEVERE. AND BECAUSE OF THAT, WEDNESDAY IS A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY 68 DEGREES FOR US TODAY. AMPLE SUNSHINE 72 TOMORROW. AGAIN, A STRAY SHOWER CHANCE OR MAIN CHANCE IS WEDNESDAY. WE’LL WATCH FOR A LEFTOVER SHOWER IN THE MORNING ON THURSDAY, MAYBE EVEN A FLURRY INTO THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. MUCH COLDER THOUGH. 42 IS YOUR HIGH TEMPERATURE ON THURSDAY. WE’RE BACK INTO THE 50S. ON FRIDAY WE WILL HOLD NEAR 50 ON SATURDAY. SO IF YOU ARE MAKING PLANS TO HEAD DOWNTOWN FOR THE SAINT PATRICK’S DAY PARADE, IT’S GOING TO BE CHILLY. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE 30S AS THE PARADE STARTS. WE’LL BE IN THE 40S AS THE PARADE COMES TO AN END, BUT OTHER CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE. AND THEN AS WE HEAD INTO NEXT WEEK, 60S FOR US ON SUNDAY, WE’LL WATCH A SYSTEM GETTING HERE LATE THAT WILL BRING EVEN COLDER AIR AGAIN NEXT WEEK AS HIGHS HEAD BACK TO 40 NEXT MONDAY. SO LET’S START TOMORROW AGAIN. THERE IS AN ISOLATED SHOWER CHANCE. WE’LL SEE INCREASING CLOUDS THROUGH THE DAY. PERHAPS A QUICK PASSING SHOWER AT ANY POINT ANYWHERE. IT’S NOT A WASHOUT TOMORROW, BUT A COUPLE OF SHOWERS WILL PASS BY. WILL THEN DRY OUT AS WE HEAD INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING, AND THEN WE’LL WATCH THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS WELL. THE POTENTIAL TO SEE SOME THUNDERSTORMS. IT LOOKS LIKE OUR FIRST MAIN WAVE IS LIKELY HERE AROUND MIDDAY. IF WE SEE THIS WAVE WE LIKE WILL LIMIT OUR SEVERE THREAT IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE COLD FRONT GETS HERE. BUT STILL A COUPLE STRONG STORMS WITH GUSTY WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE AND THEN THINGS WILL START QUIETING DOWN. LATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY AS THE COLD FRONT FINALLY PASSES. AND AGAIN, A SNOW FLAKE OR TWO IS POSSIBLE EARLY ON THURSDAY. DAMAGING WINDS ARE OUR PRIMARY CONCERN, ALONG WITH HEAVY DOWNPOURS. WE CAN’T RULE OUT THOUGH SOME HAIL OR EVEN A BRIEF TORNADO, BUT THOSE THREATS ARE VERY LOW. THIS IS MOSTLY A DAMAGING WIND AND HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT. SUNSHINE TODAY. NO WEATHER CONCERNS FOR US AT ALL. 59 IS THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE AT PITTSBURGH. INTERNATIONAL WINDS ARE SOUTH SOUTHWEST. AT 15. THEY’VE BEEN GUSTING TO ABOUT 20 TO 25MPH TODAY. BUT AGAIN, NOT BAD. ALL THE SUNSHINE STAYS WITH US TODAY AS WAR
