Pittsburgh: Severe Weather Alert Day Sunday<\/p>\n

Thunderstorms could become strong to severe late in the day. <\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFOR THE SECOND PART OF SUNDAY. AND REALLY, AS WE GET CLOSER TO SUNSET, WE\u2019RE WATCHING TOMORROW, JUST PARTLY SUNNY SKIES WILL BE COMFORTABLE, WILL CLIMB TO ABOUT 60. THAT\u2019S SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN WHERE WE MADE IT TODAY. THEN OUR SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY ON SUNDAY AS WE WATCH FOR STORMS AGAIN, MAINLY LATE IN THE DAY. SO UNTIL ABOUT 4 OR 5:00 YOU\u2019LL BE FINE. AFTER THAT, WE START OPENING THAT WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY FOR STORMS TO DEVELOP, AND THEN WE WILL BE COOLER AS RAIN SHOWERS TAPER OFF. HEADING INTO YOUR MONDAY MORNING, THE LAST BIT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXITING NOW. ONE CLUSTER HERE, JUST EXITING OUT OF LIGONIER, SLIDING DOWN ROUTE 30, MOVING INTO SOMERSET COUNTY AND ALONG 271. THE OTHER CLUSTER MOVING THROUGH PORTIONS OF FAYETTE COUNTY, NOW EXITING OUT OF WASHINGTON, REIGNING OVER TOP OF CALIFORNIA. BROWNSVILLE DOWN ALONG THE MON VALLEY AS YOU HEAD SOUTH TOWARDS WEST VIRGINIA LINE. RAIN ALSO ENTERING IN UNIONTOWN. THIS IS SLIDING DOWN AROUND 40 AND ALSO EXIT HERE IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO. WE\u2019LL MAKE IT TO 60 DEGREES FOR TOMORROW, 74 ON SUNDAY BEFORE THOSE RAIN AND STORMS GET HERE. THAT KNOCKS US DOWN TO 44 DEGREES ON MONDAY. AT LEAST THAT COOLDOWN, THOUGH, IS SHORT LIVED. WE\u2019RE BACK TO 50 ON TUESDAY. SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR IS HERE ON WEDNESDAY AT 49. WE WARM UP AGAIN THURSDAY BEFORE ANOTHER SYSTEM BRINGS ISOLATED SHOWERS AT 62, AND THAT ONE DROPS OUR TEMPERATURES AGAIN AS PENS NEXT WEEKEND WITH HIGHS IN THE 40S ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. SO LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT SUNDAY. WE\u2019LL START THE CLOCK AT NOON AGAIN. WE\u2019LL SEE CLOUDS INCREASE. MAYBE A QUICK PASSING SHOWER, ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE CITY. BUT AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 4 OR 5:00, WE\u2019LL START OPENING THE CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP. AND THAT CHANCE WILL CONTINUE PAST SUNSET AS WELL. WE\u2019LL LIKELY SEE A LINE OF STORMS ARRIVING OUT OF OHIO, PERHAPS AS WE GET CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT. THEN HEAVY RAIN FALLS. BUT BY THE TIME WE GET TOWARDS ABOUT 5:00 MONDAY MORNING, OUR RAIN SHOWERS TAPER OFF. SO AGAIN, WE WILL BE DRY IN TIME FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE. BY THE TIME WE\u2019RE DONE, WE COULD SEE ABOUT AN INCH OR SO ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. AGAIN, THIS IS JUST ON SUNDAY AND INTO EARLY MONDAY. WE\u2019RE NOT EXPECTING FLOODING CONCERNS, BUT IF YOU SEE SOME HEAVY DOWNPOURS, MAYBE SOME LOCALIZED ISSUES ARE POSSIBLE. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER ARE POSSIBLE FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER, DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY DOWNPOURS. THE PRIMARY CONCERNS. BUT I CAN\u2019T RULE OUT HAIL OR A BRIEF TORNADO AS WELL. MAKE SURE LATE IN THE DAY ON SUNDAY YOU HAV\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
