Pittsburgh Forecast: Rainy commute ahead as impact day brings soaking showers
Most of the rain falls before 9 a.m. Temperatures take a downward turn today too.
BEING OFFERED IN THIS CASE. IT’S AN IMPACT DAY FOR US. A SOGGY START TO THE MORNING, BUT OVERALL IT’S GOING TO BE RELATIVELY DECENT INTO THE AFTERNOON. WE JUST HAVE A COUPLE MORE HOURS OF RAIN CONTINUING TO FALL, SO JUST BE AWARE OF THAT AS YOU STEP OUT THE DOOR THIS MORNING. SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN ALONG 28 PARKWAY EAST ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF WASHINGTON COUNTY, EVEN NEAR ROSTRAVER THIS MORNING, HEADING INTO GREENSBURG DELMONT. SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAINFALL. IT’S ALSO CLIPPING SOUTHERN PARTS OF ARMSTRONG COUNTY DOWN INTO PRESTON. TUCKER AND GARRETT. SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAIN EASTERN PARTS OF GREENE COUNTY. AS WE GET ON INTO BUTLER. STILL ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN THAT WAS IN LAWRENCE AND BEAVER COUNTY NOW PUSHING INTO CONNOQUENESSING ALONG 19 AND 79 THIS MORNING, ADAMS TOWNSHIP EXTENDING OUT ALONG ROUTE 18 IN BEAVER FALLS. YOU’RE GOING TO NOTICE SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAINFALL. IT WILL SHUT OFF RELATIVELY QUICKLY RIGHT AFTER 9:00, 10:00 THIS MORNING. STILL A CHANCE FOR A STRAY SHOWER AS WE GET INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS. BUT REALLY, I THINK MOST OF US WILL HAVE THE CLOUDS, FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE SUN SETS. THEN WE’LL WATCH THOSE CLOUDS CONTINUE TO DECREASE INTO THE OVERNIGHT, BEGINNING TO SEE SOME SUNSHINE MIXING IN FOR OUR THURSDAY. BIT COOLER FOR US TO FINISH OUT THE WEEK. UPPER 50S LOW TO MID 60S. WE’LL BE WATCHING SOME RAIN WORKING ITS WAY IN FRIDAY NIGHT AND INTO EARLY SATURDAY, BUT SATURDAY THROUGH THE DAY LOOKS TO STAY DRY. YOU SEE THAT LOWER VISIBILITY AS THE RAIN PUSHES THROUGH DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH. THAT IS GOING TO BE THE CASE ALL MORNING LONG. TEMPS AREN’T TOO BAD, BUT GOING TO NEED THAT JACKET THROUGH THE DAY AND TEMPERATURES NOT REALLY BUDGING MUCH. 56 RIGHT NOW, PITTSBURGH AND WASHINGTON 55. WAKING UP IN KITTANNING A LITTLE BIT COOLER IN FRANKLIN AND LAWRENCE COUNTY, UP INTO NEW CASTLE, INTO THE UPPER 40S, 56 RIGHT NOW IN UNIONTOWN, WINDS WILL BE GUSTING NEAR 20MPH IN SOME SPOTS UNTIL ABOUT LUNCHTIME TODAY. OTHERWISE, IT’S GOING TO QUIET DOWN FOR US, GETTING A LITTLE BIT BETTER FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE DAY WILL BE A BIT COOLER. WE’RE GOING TO STAY INTO THE MID 50S THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, PEAKING IN THE LOW 60S ALREADY HIT EARLIER THIS MORNING. BUT THEN WE’LL WATCH OUR MORNING TEMPERATURES DIP DOWN INTO THE 40S THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE ARE EXPECTING TO STAY DRY FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY MORNING, SOME RAIN KICKING OFF OUR MOTHER’S DAY SUNDAY MORNING. A LITTLE CHILL IN THE MORNING, BUT OVERALL STAYING DRY. AND THEN WE ARE EXPECTING SOME RAIN SUNDA
