Route 286 closed after truck crash in Plum, Allegheny County<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t279 THOUGH YOU\u2019RE STILL IN THE CLEAR AT 11 MINUTES. ASHLEY AND LILY. IT IS AN IMPACT DAY BECAUSE OF THIS RAIN AND FOG. SECOND ROUND OF HEAVY RAIN JUST STARTING TO ROLL IN FOGGY CONDITIONS, AS YOU JUST SAW WITH LILY\u2019S CAMERAS THIS MORNING. DOESN\u2019T LOOK BAD. CAN\u2019T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER. WE\u2019RE TALKING 70 DEGREES ON FRIDAY WITH A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS, BUT MAYBE UPGRADED HERE TO AN ALERT DAY ON SATURDAY. THE CHANCE FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WE\u2019LL GET TO THAT IN A SECOND. BUT AS YOU STEP OUT THE DOOR, FOG MAY BE AN ISSUE, ESPECIALLY INTO BEAVER, ALLEGHENY AND WASHINGTON, WHERE YOU\u2019RE UNDER A DENSE FOG ADVISORY UNTIL 10 A.M. AND YOU CAN SEE THIS HERE WITH OUR VISIBILITY MAP SITTING AROUND 0 TO 2 MILE VISIBILITY. DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH DOESN\u2019T LOOK BAD, BUT OVERALL, IT\u2019S THOSE LOW LYING AREAS. YOU MAY NOTICE IT THIS MORNING. SO AS WE LOOK AT YOUR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE FORECAST. WE\u2019LL GET THROUGH THIS ON AND OFF RAIN TODAY FRIDAY SHAPING UP TO BE DECENT. EVEN BETTER. UP NEAR 70. 74 ON SATURDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL TO GO A FEW DEGREES WARMER AND SOME OF THOSE STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS, WE\u2019RE GOING TO STAY ON THE MILDER SIDE EVEN INTO NEXT WEEK WITH A CHANCE FOR MORE RAIN AND STORMS BY THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. HERE\u2019S WHAT WE GOT GOING ON RIGHT NOW. THE SECOND ROUND IS JUST STARTING TO COME IN, AND SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN RIGHT ALONG INTERSTATE 70 INTO WASHINGTON COUNTY, INTO THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, COMING UP INTO CANONSBURG, STRETCHING DOWN INTO GREENE. TAKING A LOOK JUST A LITTLE FURTHER WEST, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THAT LIGHTNING POPPING UP NEAR ATHENS. AND OVERALL, THAT\u2019S GOING TO CONTINUE TO FILTER IN OUR AREA. SO WE CAN\u2019T RULE OUT A FEW RUMBLES OF THUNDER AS WE PROGRESS THROUGH THE MORNING. AS KIDS ARE HEADING OUT TO THE BUS STOP LUNCHTIME, WE\u2019LL SEE MOST OF THE HEAVIER RAIN NORTH, WIDELY SCATTERED. WE WILL HAVE BREAKS THROUGH THE DAY WHERE WE WON\u2019T HAVE ANY RAIN. THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS. THE FOG IS GOING TO LINGER SOME LOWER CLOUD DECK FOR US, BUT OVERALL WE ARE GOING TO SEE THE WORST OF THIS MOVING THROUGH THIS MORNING, THINGS QUIET DOWN INTO THE EVENING THAT EXTENDS INTO EARLY FRIDAY. SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF PATCHY FOG INTO THE MORNING, AND THEN CAN\u2019T RULE OUT A STRAY SHOWER. STILL ISOLATED AROUND TWO 3:00. THE CLOUDS EXPECTING TO BREAK AGAIN 70 DEGREES INTO THE AFTERNOON. SATURDAY STARTS OFF QUIET, VERY NICE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IT\u2019S GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY IT A IT ESPECIALLY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR 80, BUT IT CHANGES INTO THE EVENING. AGAIN, THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TURN INTO A SEVERE WEATHER ALERT DAY AS THIS COLD FRONT WILL BE COMING IN, BRINGING POCKETS OF HEAVY DOWNPOURS. ALSO, THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME DAMAGING WINDS THAT STARTS AROUND 5:00 6:00 IN THE EVENING, MOVING THROUGH QUICKLY. SHOULD BE OUT OF HERE BY 9:00. SO THAT IS SOME GOOD NEWS FOR US. THERE\u2019S YOUR FOUR-DAY PLUS FOR MORE FORECAST. SUNDAY LOOKS NICE. DON\u2019T FORGET DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS. YOU TURN THOSE CLOCKS AHEAD. ONE HOUR.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
