Vehicle crashes into pole in Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood, power lines down
SAILING ALONG UP THERE. DOCK IS STILL SOGGY AND FOGGY AROUND THE AREA, BUT WE’LL HAVE SUNSHINE BY THE AFTERNOON. WE’RE GOING TO SEE RAIN CHANCES IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT NOT A WASHOUT THROUGH SATURDAY. WE ARE GOING TO WARM UP THOUGH, AND AS WE GET INTO EASTER SUNDAY MORNING, A LOT OF THOSE RAIN SHOWERS BEFORE SEVEN 8:00 MAKING AN IMPACT DAY WITH DROPPING TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE MORNING AS WELL. THE FOG IS PRETTY THICK HERE WITH THE CAMERA IN WILKINSBURG. YOU CAN SEE THE CAR, THE CAR STARTING TO BACK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT HEADING INTO THE TUNNEL NOW. RIGHT NOW OUR VISIBILITY IS ABOUT A QUARTER TO HALF A MILE. AND THIS IS INCLUDING PARTS OF LAWRENCE, BEAVER, ALLEGHENY EXTENDING DOWN INTO WASHINGTON GREEN, ALSO INTO FAYETTE AND DOWN INTO MORGANTOWN. THIS IS GOING TO TAKE A GOOD OLD TIME. BURNING OFF WITH FOG COMES MIST. WE ALSO HAVE THOSE LIGHT SHOWERS AND THEY ARE PUSHING NORTHWARD NOW INTO ARMSTRONG AND INDIANA. SO SOME OF THAT STEADIER RAIN INTO LIGONIER THAT WILL ALL MOVE NORTHWARD AFTER 9:00, 10:00. WE SHOULD START TO SEE MORE QUIET CONDITIONS. 48 AS YOU WAKE UP IN PITTSBURGH. 51 RIGHT NOW, WASHINGTON AND MONROEVILLE. 50 IN BUTLER, 54 IN GREENSBURG. WE’LL STAY UPPER 70S LOW 80S TO START OF THE WEEKEND. THEN WE’LL SEE THOSE TEMPERATURES DROP. IT’S GOING TO GET MUCH COLDER FOR US BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT WE WILL DRY OUT. SO IT’S KIND OF A GIVE AND TAKE FOR US THERE. THIS TIME OUT. THE SHOWERS TODAY. FIRST LITTLE ROUND MOVES OUT BY 11 12:00. ANOTHER STRAY SHOWER. BUT REALLY A LOT OF THE AFTERNOON IS DRY. STRAY SHOWERS STILL POSSIBLE INTO THE OVERNIGHT. WE’LL SEE AN ISOLATED SHOWER COMING IN AROUND 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING. AGAIN FOR A LOT OF THE FRIDAY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE HEADING TO THE BUCKS GAME. LOOKS GOOD FOR TAILGATERS. FOR THE START OF THE GAME, WE WILL HAVE TO WATCH A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED STORM TO POP UP WITH SOME STRONGER WINDS, ESPECIALLY UP ALONG I-80. THERE’S A LITTLE CELL THAT WILL BE RIDING ALONG INTERSTATE 70 THAT COULD CLIP THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. SO SOMETHING WE’LL BE WATCHING AROUND 630 FRIDAY EVENING THAT ROLLS OUT SATURDAY, SHAPING UP TO BE PRETTY GOOD. STILL A CHANCE FOR THAT ISOLATED SHOWER OR STORM. RIGHT NOW A LOT OF THE MODELS ARE SHOWING IT WELL EAST OF US UNTIL LATE NIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WHEN THAT FRONT STARTS TO COME IN. THAT’S A BETTER CHANCE FOR MORE STEADY RAIN. THERE IS AN ISOLATED RISK THOUGH. FRIDAY AND SATURDAY FOR A STORM TO POP UP WITH SOME STRONGER WIND GUSTS SWEEPING THROUGH THE AREA. BUT OVER THE NEXT THREE DAYS, MORE DRY HOURS THAN WET. SO VERY, VERY GOOD. JUST REALLY HAVE TO BE WEATHER AWARE. GET OUR WTAE APP TO REALLY HELP, ESPECIALLY IF SOME STORMS START TO MOVE THROUGH
