Pittsburgh: Warmer and more humid, Impact Day Saturday<\/p>\n

Rain and storms arrive in the afternoon and evening Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTHOSE STORMS, RIGHT? YEAH, THE FIRST HALF JUST SHOWERS. IT\u2019S REALLY THE SECOND HALF OF SATURDAY THAT WE ARE WATCHING. THAT\u2019S GOING TO BE WE\u2019RE RUNNING INTO THE CHANCE OF SEEING RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE AREA. THAT\u2019S THE DAY WE\u2019RE WATCHING. AND THAT IS ALSO OUR IMPACT DAY. FRIDAY THOUGH, LOOKS FINE. ANOTHER WARM DAY WITH AMPLE SUNSHINE. LOOKS GOOD FOR ALL THE GRADUATIONS TOMORROW. GRADUATION PARTIES ON SATURDAY MAY BE A DIFFERENT STORY, BUT IF YOU CAN, YOU JUST WANT TO SLIDE THOSE SUNDAY OUTSIDE OF AN ISOLATED SHOWER. THAT\u2019S LIKELY EARLY IN THE DAY. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE WARM AND MUGGY AS WE HEAD THROUGH YOUR SUNDAY, SO CLIMB TO 88 DEGREES TOMORROW. THAT WOULD MAKE THAT THE WARMEST DAY OF THIS STRETCH, 86 FOR US ON SATURDAY IMPACT DAY WITH RAIN AND STORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. AGAIN, THAT LEFTOVER SHOWER CHANCE ON SUNDAY. THEN WE KEEP THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY AROUND. WE\u2019RE AT 86 ON MONDAY. WILL HOVER IN THE UPPER 80S. TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL INCREASE THE CLOUDS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS ANOTHER SYSTEM TRIES TO DROP IN MAY PRODUCE A COUPLE OF SHOWERS ACROSS THE AREA. WE\u2019LL WATCH FOR RAIN CHANCES THERE, BUT WE STAY WARM NEXT FRIDAY EVEN. WE WILL AGAIN TRY AND FLIRT WITH 90 DEGREES, BUT CHECK OUT OUR LOWS. WE ARE 60 OR BETTER FOR THE NEXT WEEK, WHICH MEANS YOU WILL START FEELING THAT HUMIDITY AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE AFTERNOONS. SO LET\u2019S TALK ABOUT THAT SATURDAY FOR YOU. WE\u2019LL START THE CLOCK HERE AT 8:00 SATURDAY MORNING. A COUPLE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. NOT A WASHOUT, OBVIOUSLY, BUT YOU\u2019LL LIKELY DODGE SOME RAINDROPS EARLY. THOSE SHOULD CLEAR BY NOON. THEN AFTER 2:00, WE\u2019LL WATCH NORTH OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH, AS WE\u2019LL LIKELY SEE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS, PERHAPS EVEN A LINE OF SHOWERS OR STORMS TRYING TO DEVELOP AS A COLD FRONT DROPS IN THAT WILL DRIFT SOUTH AND EASTWARD. BY THE TIME WE GET TO 5:00, THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS APPROACHING PITTSBURGH AND ALLEGHENY COUNTY SLIDING, CONTINUING OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST. BUT BY NOTICE EIGHT 9:00, THOSE SHOWERS AND STORMS ARE GONE. SO THIS IS A VERY SMALL WINDOW. BUT WHILE THOSE STORMS ARE HERE, THEY COULD PACK A PUNCH. AS WE HEAD INTO YOUR SUNDAY WILL START OFF WITH CLOUDS, PERHAPS SOME FOG, AND MAY HAVE TO DODGE A SHOWER EARLY ON YOUR SUNDAY. AND THEN WE\u2019LL SEE IMPROVING CONDITIONS AS WE HEAD INTO THE AFTERNOON. SO EVERYBODY NORTH PRETTY MUCH 70 HAS A SLIGHT RISK. THAT\u2019S LEVEL TWO OUT OF FIVE FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER OF A STRONGER STORM. WIND, RAIN AND HAIL ARE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS. A TORNADO CANNOT BE RULED OUT, BUT IT IS LOW ON OUR THREAT RISK. IF YOU\u2019RE MAKING PLANS FOR THE THREE RIVERS ARTS FESTIVAL, TOMORROW IS A GREAT DAY. WILL BE AT 88. WATCHING THAT STORM CHANCE ON SATURDAY, YOU MAY WANT TO EITHER TAKE THE RAIN GEAR, TRY AND DODG\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
