Pittsburgh: More rain tonight, drier Memorial Day
Showers hold off until late-day and will exit before sunrise on Memorial Day.
THE FARM MARKET WILL ALSO BE OPEN FROM 9 A.M. TO 5 P.M. NOW. OF COURSE, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO BE DEALING WITH SOME RAIN AS WE KIND OF MAKE OUR WAY THROUGH THE DAY. SO WHEN RAIN SHOWS UP, WE GOT TO BRING IN JILL SZWED WITH OUR CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. JOE, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US? A LITTLE BIT OF A BETTER DAY TODAY? EVEN BETTER TOMORROW. BUT IN BETWEEN, WE DO HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN THAT MORE THAN LIKELY COMING IN AFTER DARK TODAY. SO NOT COMPLETELY GETTING RID OF THE SOGGY CONDITIONS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND, IT WILL BE MILDER TOO, AS WE WORK THROUGH THE AFTERNOON TODAY AND SIMILAR STORY FOR YOUR MEMORIAL DAY AS WELL. WE DO HAVE A FEW SHOWERS ACROSS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. LAST LITTLE BIT, EXITING UP TOWARDS THE NORTH AND EAST, YOU CAN SEE A FEW LITTLE FLASHES OF GREEN THROUGH PARTS OF CLARION AND ALSO JEFFERSON COUNTIES. OTHERWISE, A FEW BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS SHOULD BE A BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE. AS WE GET YOU SET FOR THE START OF YOUR SUNDAY. BY THE AFTERNOON WE WILL SEE MORE RAIN COMING IN, MORE THAN LIKELY HOLDING OFF UNTIL AFTER 3:00 OR 4:00. IN MOST NEIGHBORHOODS. TEMPERATURES REACHING THE MID 70S. THIS AFTERNOON WE’RE GOING TO SEE THAT RAIN HANG ON THROUGH ABOUT SUNRISE TOMORROW. OTHERWISE WE’LL BRING IN SOME DRY TIME, WARMER TEMPERATURES TO 78 ON MEMORIAL DAY, PEAKING IN THE LOW 80S ON TUESDAY. THERE IS ANOTHER CHANCE FOR RAIN. YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST ON WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE, THE END OF MAY LOOKS GREAT WITH VERY PLEASANT TEMPERATURES AND MORE SUNSHINE THROUGH THE BACK HALF OF NEXT WEEK. LET’S TIME OUT THESE RAIN CHANCES TODAY. ANYTHING THAT DOES DEVELOP BEFORE 3:00 TODAY WILL BE PRETTY ISOLATED IN NATURE. A BRIEF LIGHT SHOWER AS YOU’RE OUT AND ABOUT, MAYBE DOING A LITTLE GARDENING, TAKING IN SOME OF THE FARM STANDS THAT ARE POPPING UP ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HERE’S 4 P.M. YOU CAN SEE NOT ONLY BETTER COVERAGE OF SHOWERS, BUT EVEN A FEW EMBEDDED DOWNPOURS. I THINK A LOT OF THAT ACTIVITY IS GOING TO BE ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND EAST OF PITTSBURGH. RAIN IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO FILL IN AS WE GO OVERNIGHT. SO MAYBE IF YOU HAVE SOME COOKOUT PLANS LATER ON THIS EVENING, MAYBE CUT THOSE SHORT AS SHORTLY AFTER SUNSET WE WILL SEE MORE RAIN STARTING TO BUILD IN THAT LINGERS THROUGH 5:00 TOMORROW MORNING. A LOT OF THAT RAIN SHIFTING OUT TOWARDS THE EAST AS WE ROLL CLOSER TO 8:00 IN THE MORNING. CERTAINLY GOOD NEWS AS SOME OF THE EARLY REMEMBRANCE CEREMONIES WILL BE GETTING UNDERWAY, ALONG WITH THE PARADES ON MEMORIAL DAY. BUT THERE IS AN ISOLATED RISK THAT WE COULD SEE SOME FLASH FLOODING, ESPECIALLY THOSE SATURATED AREAS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THOSE SPOTS WEST AND SOUTH OF PITTSBURGH AND THAT YELLOW SHADING COULD WE COULD PICK UP AN EXTRA THREE QUARTERS TO AN INCH OF RAIN, SOME SOME LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING CAN’T BE RULED OUT AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS, WAKING UP TO 55 UNDER MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES HERE IN THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. TAKE A LIVE LOOK WITH ACTION CAM 75 THIS AFTERNOON. THAT’S AHEAD OF THE RAIN THAT GETS HERE AS YOU WORK THROUGH YOUR MEMORIAL DAY. TEMPERATURES START OFF IN THE LOWER 60S BY THE AFTERNOON, BOUNCING BACK INTO THE UPPER 70S. AND OF COURSE, WE WILL BE DRYING OUT AS WE GO. JUST KEEP IN MIND AS WE PUSH OUT THE RAIN, THERE COULD BE SOME PATCHY FOG TOMORROW MORNING, 81 ON TUESDAY, WE’RE GOING TO WATCH A BOUNDARY THAT’S GOING TO BE STUCK TO OUR SOUTH. COULD SEND A FEW SHOWERS OUR WAY ON WEDNESDAY, BUT THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK LOOKS FANTASTIC WITH INCREASING AMOUNTS OF SUNSHINE. TEMPERATURES VERY COMFORTABLE TO JUST WHAT YOU LIKE TO SEE AS WE SEND OUT THIS MONTH OF MAY. BUT OF COURSE, AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, NOT A WASHOUT, MORE THAN LIKELY WETTER. WHILE MOST OF US ARE SLEEPING AND WAKING UP TOMORROW, THAT’S NOT TOO BAD. I LOVE THE FACT THAT WE CAN KIND OF FINISH MAY STRONG. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WE NEEDED THAT, RIGHT? BECAUSE MAY HAS BEEN A CRAZY MONTH WEATHER WISE. SO LET’
