Scattered to numerous storms expected in Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon
Scattered to numerous storms continue through sunset again tonight with heavy downpours and flash flooding possible. The main line is moving southeast of Pittsburgh at this hour, and activity should wane over the next few hours and quiet down overnight.
First Alert: Possible Monday (Severe thunderstorms are possible, and the flash flood threat is elevated)
Light wind overnight and high humidity with saturated soil mean dense fog will develop during the predawn hours of Sunday morning.
The fog will mix out after sunrise Sunday morning, then temperatures will heat up well into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees in the afternoon. It will be quite uncomfortable, with high levels of humidity, but the overall rain chances appear much lower. Sunday night into Monday morning, we will watch the approach of our next storm system with very high levels of moisture in place.
This will lead to more storms with flash flood possibility Monday and through Tuesday morning as the cold front passes.
Slightly drier and a bit cooler air will move in for the middle part of next week. Another cold front will bring a chance of scattered showers and storms by Thursday.
As of now, the Fourth of July appears to have a low rain chance, but we'll keep our eye on the forecast for fireworks time!
