Pittsburgh: Evening Rain, Showers for Saturday
Friday is an Impact Day with heavy rain leading to flooding concerns.
ALERT. THIS AFTERNOON WE ARE UNDER AN IMPACT DAY. WE ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWERS, FIRE OFF EVEN A FEW ISOLATED NON-SEVERE STORMS AROUND THE REGION RIGHT NOW INTO SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF FAYETTE, DOWN INTO PRESTON. TUCKER AND GARRETT. YOU HAVE SOME STEADY RAINFALL, VERY LIGHT INTO SOMERSET AS WE GET ON UP. STILL ON THE BORDER THERE OF ARMSTRONG AND CLARION, SOME THUNDERSTORMS. NON-SEVERE THEN WE’RE STARTING TO SEE SOME POP HERE IN THE NORTHERN LAWRENCE, SOUTHERN MERCER AND NORTHERN PORTIONS OF BUTLER COUNTY. BUT I’M WATCHING WHAT’S INTO NORTHEASTERN OHIO, STARTING TO SEE THESE STORMS FIRE OFF. AND THOSE ARE GOING TO MOVE IN OUR DIRECTION. SO WE ARE EXPECTING TO SEE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. A LOT OF THEM LOOK TO BE NON-SEVERE, MEANING THEY’RE NOT GOING TO HAVE DAMAGING WINDS. BUT THERE IS THAT RISK WHEN THOSE STORMS COULD HAVE SOME STRONGER WIND GUSTS. LET’S TIME IT OUT HERE ON FUTURECAST AROUND ONE 2:00. WE’LL CONTINUE TO SEE SOME OF THESE STORMS DEVELOPING. POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN, I THINK ARE GOING TO BE THE BIGGER ISSUE NOW AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE BUC-EE’S GAME. SIX 41ST PITCH. WE’RE STILL GOING TO HAVE SOME SHOWERS AROUND. JUST DEPENDS IF WE GET ANY LIGHTNING OR THUNDER NEAR WHERE THEY COULD DELAY IT. IT’S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR SURE. WE’LL STILL SEE A CHANCE FOR SOME STORMS AROUND 9:00 OR 10:00. SO AGAIN THERE COULD BE SOME DELAYS DURING THE PIRATE GAME. IF YOU ARE HEADING DOWNTOWN FOR THAT, JUST BE AWARE THINGS WILL QUIET DOWN AS WE GET INTO SATURDAY TO START. THEN SOME ISOLATED SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE GOING TO TRY TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING, ESPECIALLY FROM PITTSBURGH ON SOUTH. WE ALL DRY OUT AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY. EVEN BETTER, THE HUMIDITY IS GOING TO DROP. IT’S GOING TO GET VERY COMFORTABLE FOR US AS WE GET INTO SUNDAY. HERE’S HOW MUCH RAIN WE’RE LOOKING AT AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY. TODAY, SOME OF US COULD SEE UP TO A HALF AN INCH, THREE QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. SO OVERALL, ESPECIALLY INTO ALLEGHENY, PORTIONS OF EVEN UP INTO CLARION. SO THAT’S EXACTLY WHY THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE UNTIL 10:00 TONIGHT. RIGHT NOW, DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. JUST SOME CLOUDS AND SOME SUNSHINE PEEKING THROUGH. TEMPERATURES ARE SITTING ALREADY INTO THE UPPER 70S. WE’LL GET INTO THE MID 80S THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. STILL GOING TO FEEL CLOSER TO 90 WITH THAT HUMIDITY LINGERING, WE ARE GOING TO SEE OUR TEMPERATURES STAYING IN THE 80S UNTIL NEXT WEEK.
