Impact Day: Widespread rain, flood watch in parts of Western Pennsylvania<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMARS. WEXFORD, PINE TOWNSHIP RELATIVELY DRY RIGHT NOW, BUT MORE RAIN WILL BE EDGING IN HERE IN THE NEXT 15 TO 20 MINUTES. NOW WE DO HAVE A FLOOD WATCH IN PLACE FOR WASHINGTON, GREENE, FAYETTE AND SOMERSET THAT REMAINS IN PLACE UNTIL 10:00 TONIGHT. BUT ALREADY A FLOOD WARNING INTO GARRETT COUNTY, KEEPING AN EYE ON SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS AGAIN. THAT IS GOING TO BE THE HARDEST HIT AREAS. THE GROUND IS ALREADY SATURATED FROM OVER THE WEEKEND, AND NOW POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN CONTINUING TO MOVE THROUGH. SO AS WE TIME IT OUT HERE ON FUTURECAST, STILL SOME HEAVY RAIN UNTIL ABOUT 9:00. THEN THINGS WILL QUIET DOWN FOR US. CLOUDS WILL BREAK UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT AS THIS FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH FROM NORTH TO SOUTH, THERE IS STILL A SMALL CHANCE FOR A POP UP SHOWER OR NON-SEVERE STORM INTO WASHINGTON, GREENE AND FAYETTE THAT COULD EVEN CLIP PARTS OF ALLEGHENY AND WESTMORELAND. EVEN THOUGH OUR FUTURECAST IS NOT PICKING UP, THERE\u2019S THAT CHANCE AS THAT FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH VERY ISOLATED. MOST OF THE AREA WILL STAY DRY, AND THEN WE\u2019LL CONTINUE TO STAY ON THE DRY SIDE A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE AS WE FINISH OUT THE WEEK. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY FOR THE FLASH FLOODING. AS I WAS TALKING ABOUT STILL SOME OF THE HARDEST HIT AREAS ALONG INTERSTATE 70 INTO WASHINGTON, ALL OF GREENE DOWN INTO MORGANTOWN, EVEN SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF WESTMORELAND AND FAYETTE COUNTY. SO SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS, POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND A LOT OF PONDING ON THE ROADWAYS COULD SEE AN ADDITIONAL INCH OF RAINFALL THIS MORNING IN THOSE AREAS. THERE\u2019S YOUR FOUR DAY FORECAST. WE\u2019LL GET THROUGH THIS IMPACT DAY, THEN WILL BE SMOOTH SAILING THURSDAY, FRIDAY, EVEN INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND MAY FEEL A LITTLE BIT COOLER. THAT HUMIDITY DIPS DOWN A BIT AND TEMPERATURES PRETTY SEASONAL INTO THE MID 70S. IT IS GLOOMY OUT THERE. IT\u2019S NOT JUST THE RAIN, IT\u2019S ALSO LOW VISIBILITY AS THOSE RAIN SHOWERS MOVE THROUGH THE AREA. TEMPERATURES ARE PRETTY COMFORTABLE 67 RIGHT NOW. PITTSBURGH AND MONROEVILLE 63 IN BUTLER, GREENSBURG WAKING UP AT 68. SO BREAKING DOWN YOUR FOUR DAY PLUS FOUR MORE FORECAST. IF YOU\u2019RE HEADING TO THE BUC-EE\u2019S GAME LATER TODAY SHOULD BE NICE. WE\u2019RE GOING TO SEE THE WORST OF THIS THROUGH THE MORNING COMMUTE. WE\u2019LL HAVE A VERY NICE WEEKEND AHEAD AND FINGERS CROSSED. AS OF RIGHT NOW, AS WE GET INTO THE MONTH OF JUN\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
