Wet start, cool finish for final day of NFL Draft in Pittsburgh
Most of the rain falls before 3 p.m. around western PA.
WRAPS UP. 520 IS OUR TIME ON THIS IMPACT DAY. JILL’S BACK WITH ANOTHER CHECK OF OUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEEN SO BLESSED WITH NICE WEATHER FOR THE MOST PART OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. TODAY, THOUGH, THINGS CAN GET A LITTLE TRICKY. LITTLE TRICKY IS YOU’RE TRYING TO GET OUT THE DOOR, MAYBE MAKE YOUR WAY DOWNTOWN OR TO THE NORTH SHORE. IT’S NOT GOING TO BE AN ALL DAY RAIN, BUT IT’S KIND OF JUST AS YOU’RE GETTING UP AND OUT OF HERE EARLY THIS MORNING, PROBABLY MORE OF AN IMPACT FOR THOSE THAT ARE TAKING PART IN THE PITTSBURGH FIVE K, WHICH OF COURSE, WE’VE BEEN TELLING YOU, GETS UNDERWAY AROUND 8:00 THIS MORNING ON THE NORTH SHORE. TEMPERATURES NOT NEARLY AS WARM AS THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. REALLY STUCK IN THE 60S ALL DAY LONG AS A LOT OF THE RAIN WILL BE SHIFTING OUT JUST AS THE FOURTH ROUND OF THE DRAFT GETS UNDERWAY AROUND NOON. TODAY SHOULD BE CLOUDY AND COOL AS KANE BROWN TAKES THE STAGE JUST AFTER THE FINAL PICK LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY PARTS OF THE EVENING. THE REST OF YOUR WEEKEND WILL FEATURE DRY CONDITIONS TOMORROW. IT’S GOING TO BE COOL WITH CLEARING SKIES AND PLENTY OF SUNSHINE AS WE GET BACK INTO THE NORMAL ROUTINE. BY THE TIME MONDAY ROLLS AROUND. RIGHT NOW, THINGS ARE ALL NICE AND QUIET ON THE RADAR AROUND WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON WHAT’S COMING IN OUT OF OHIO. A FEW OF THOSE SHOWERS. SHOWERS. TRYING TO GET CLOSER TO STEUBENVILLE RIGHT NOW, AND EVENTUALLY THAT RAIN WILL SHIFT IN OUR DIRECTION. WE’LL TRACK A FEW HOURS OF SOME STEADIER LIGHT RAIN THAT EVEN COULD FEATURE A FEW POPS OF DOWNPOURS, EVEN A RUMBLE OF THUNDER THAT I’LL SHOW YOU HERE IN JUST A SECOND. COMING OFF OF OUR IMPACT DAY TODAY, 65 TOMORROW WITH MORE SUNSHINE BY THE END OF YOUR SUNDAY. A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON MONDAY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE. 74. WE HAVE MORE RAIN COMING TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, AND THAT WILL BE SENDING TEMPERATURES BACK EVEN INTO THE 50S AS WE ROLL INTO MARATHON WEEKEND NEXT WEEKEND. LET’S TALK ABOUT OUR IMPACT DAY AS EARLY AS 7:00 8:00. WE’LL SEE THAT LEADING EDGE OF RAIN STARTING TO MOVE INTO DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH. YOU’LL NOTICE A FEW POPS OF MODERATE TO EVEN HEAVIER RAIN THAT’S GOING TO BE COMING IN WITH THE COLD FRONT. THAT ALSO COULD BE MAKING ITS WAY CLOSER TO DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH. JUST AS WE ROLL AHEAD OF THE NOON HOUR AGAIN, THINGS GETTING UNDERWAY AT THE DRAFT STAGE AROUND MIDDAY TODAY. MOST OF THOSE SHOWERS WILL HAVE ALREADY SHIFTED OFF TOWARDS THE EAST, BUT STILL GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT SOGGY. FOR THOSE OF YOU THROUGH THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. AS YOU WORK THROUGH, LET’S SAY, ABOUT ONE, EVEN 2:00 INTO THE AFTERNOON. CLOUDS ARE GOING TO HANG TOUGH, THOUGH, AS WE GO THROUGH THE SECOND PART OF THE DAY. BUT WE SHOULD BE ALL DRY. THIS IS, OF COURSE, THE BIG PICKS ARE WRAPPING UP LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY PARTS OF THE EVENING. OVER TO YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST 68 TODAY. AGAIN, RAIN, ESPECIALLY EARLY ON TODAY. AGAIN, NOT A WASHOUT, BUT STILL AN IMPACT DAY FOR US. YOU’RE GETTING YOUR WEEKEND UNDERWAY. 65 TOMORROW WILL INTRODUCE MORE SUNSHINE AS WE GO INTO THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY. SO TEMPERATURES RATHER SEASONAL FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. AS WE LOOK ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, TONS OF SUNSHINE MONDAY BACK INTO THE 70S AND WE’LL MONITOR RAIN CHANCES COMING IN IN TWO SEPARATE WAVES, ONE ON TUESDAY, ANOTHER BATCH ON WEDNESDAY. WE’LL CONTINUE TO FINE TUNE THE TIMING AS WE MAY SEE ANOTHER PAIR OF IMPACT DAYS COMING IN. AND THEN ONCE THAT RAIN CLEARS OUT, TEMPERATURES ARE COOLING OFF ALMOST ONLY TEMPERATURES AROUND 40 AS SOME OF THE EARLY RACES, INCLUDING THE FIVE K, GET UNDERWAY NEXT SATURDAY. SO VERY PLEASANT FOR THE RUNNERS IN THE PITTSBURGH MARATHON, IT LOOKS LIKE NOT JUST SATURDAY, BUT ALSO NEXT SUNDAY TOO. AND RUNNING CONDITIONS TODAY ARE PRETTY GOOD. I’LL SAY. THE RAIN THAT WE’RE DEALING WITH WILL MONITOR THAT. BUT AGAIN, NOT TOO SHABBY
