Western Pennsylvania forecast calls for heavy rain at times on Saturday morning
SHAPIRO IN THIS YEAR’S GUBERNATORIAL RACE. GOT MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES OUT THERE, A LITTLE GLOOMY, BUT TEMPERATURES AREN’T BAD. WE CAN’T RULE OUT A SPOTTY SHOWER, BUT WE DO HAVE SOME DRIER AIR IN PLACE. IT’S KIND OF FIZZLING OUT SOME OF THAT RAIN THAT’S TRYING TO WORK ITS WAY IN IMPACT. A AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY DUE TO THE RAIN, IT WILL BE A LITTLE BIT HEAVY AT TIMES, ESPECIALLY FROM ALLEGHENY COUNTY ON SOUTH. A STRAY SHOWER CAN’T BE RULED OUT IN THE LATE AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY. SHAPING UP TO BE NICE, BUT IT IS GOING TO GET MUCH WARMER. SO AS WE LOOK OVER THE CITY AGAIN, A LITTLE GLOOMY WITH THOSE CLOUDS, EVEN WITH OUR PARKWAY EAST CAMERA, THIS PARKWAY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. NOW, IF YOU LIVE UP ALONG I-80, YOU’RE GOING TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE SUNSHINE, BUT CHECK IT OUT. SEE SOME OF THE SHOWERS TRYING TO ENTER OHIO. WE DO HAVE DRY AIR IN PLACE, SO A LOT OF THIS IS FIZZLING OUT AS IT GETS CLOSER, BUT CAN’T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER OR SPRINKLE. ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE CITY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. TEMPS ARE PRETTY NICE SITTING IN THE LOW TO MID 70S. AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, WE SHOULD PEAK UP NEAR 80 IN MOST SPOTS, GETTING IN THE LOW 80S ON SATURDAY. BUT AGAIN, IT DOES COME WITH SOME OF THAT HEAVIER RAIN. LET’S TIME IT OUT HERE. THIS IS 1:00 THIS AFTERNOON. STILL A BIT ON THE GLOOMY SIDE. AGAIN A STRAY SPRINKLE OR SHOWER, BUT GOING TO START TO SEE THIS RAIN REALLY ENTERING AROUND MIDNIGHT EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. THERE WILL BE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN EMBEDDED RIGHT NOW. LOOKS LIKE ALLEGHENY COUNTY ON SOUTH AS EARLY AS 6 A.M. SO FIRING OFF OUR IMPACT DAY COULD BE A LITTLE TRICKY. IF ANYTHING, GOING ON EARLY IN THE MORNING, BY LUNCHTIME, WE’LL START TO SEE A LOT OF US DRY OUT, BUT STILL CAN’T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER TRYING TO DEVELOP. SO HEADING TO THE PIRATES GAME TONIGHT AND EVEN OVER THE WEEKEND SHOULDN’T BE TOO BAD FOR YOU. NOW, AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY, WE’LL HAVE SOME AREAS OF FOG IN THE MORNING. SMALL CHANCE FOR A POP UP SHOWER AGAIN LATER INTO THE AFTERNOON. WITH ALL THAT DAYTIME HEATING AND HUMIDITY, BUT OVERALL STILL SHOULD BE PRETTY NICE FOR US AS WE FINISH OUT THE WEEKEND. CHECKING OUT YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS FOUR FORECAST. YOU LIKE THE HEAT, THEN YOU’RE GOING TO LIKE NEXT WEEK. WE DO HAVE A SERIES OF IMPACT DAYS STARTING TUESDAY, EXTENDING INTO FRIDAY, AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE OF THE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY, IT’S BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. WE’RE GOING TO SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES, ACTUAL TEMPERATURES GETTING IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. THAT DOESN’T EVEN FACTOR IN THE HUMIDITY. IT’S REALLY HARD FOR YOUR BODY TO COOL DOWN. WE COULD SEE HEAT INDICES AND POTENTIALLY SOME ALERT DAYS GETTING UPGRADED. IF IT FEELS LIKE OVER 100. SO IT’S DANGEROUS. SO FAR IT IS. WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL AND TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. BUT SO FAR THIS SUMMER WE’VE HAD SOME DOOZY STORMS. YES, BUT THE TEMPERATURES HAVEN’T BEEN LIKE THIS. NOT LIKE THIS AT ALL. SO YEAH, THIS IS OUR FIRST
