Thunderstorm watches in Pittsburgh region expire after day of storms

A severe thunderstorm watch is in place until 10 p.m.

OF THESE STORMS COULD GET ON THE STRONGER SIDE. AND WE HAVE TWO ACTIVE WARNINGS. ONE TECHNICALLY JUST SOUTH OF OUR AREA, THE OTHER ONE IN THE PARTS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY. AND AGAIN, YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THE SCATTERED SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY. THE GOOD NEWS IS IT LOOKS LIKE THE CLUSTER THAT’S KIND OF WORKING HERE FROM ALLEGHENY COUNTY ALL THE WAY UP TO CLARION AND JEFFERSON COUNTIES, THIS LOOKS TO BE THE BACK EDGE OF THE MOST ACTIVE PART OF THIS AREA. SO HOPEFULLY ONCE THIS CLEARS OUR SEVERE THREAT TAPERS A BIT. BUT WE DO HAVE TWO WARNINGS. ONE IS A TORNADO WARNING THAT IS TECHNICALLY MARION AND MONONGALIA COUNTIES, ALTHOUGH THE TORNADIC PARTS IN MARION COUNTY. AGAIN, WE’RE WATCHING THAT. BUT SO FAR THE ACTIVE WEATHER HAS STAYED SOUTH OF MONONGALIA COUNTY, AND WE ALSO HAVE A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING NOW FOR PARTS OF BEAVER AND ALLEGHENY COUNTIES. THIS INCLUDES ALL THE WAY DOWN TOWARDS WESTVIEW IN ABOUT BRIGHTON HEIGHTS RIGHT OVER TOP OF HOPEWELL TOWNSHIP. NOW MOVING TOWARDS MOON, MOVING RIGHT ALONG 51 AND 376. SO SOME GUSTY WINDS, SOME STRONG WINDS WITH THIS AS THIS SLIDES TOWARDS MOON IN THE AIRPORT. THEN EVENTUALLY MAKES ITS WAY TOWARDS THE CITY. SO THESE STORMS WILL CONTINUE SLIDING SOUTH AND EASTWARD AGAIN. BY ABOUT 10:00 OR SO, THE MOST OF THE ACTIVE WEATHER IS OUT OF HERE. TOMORROW MORNING WE’LL WATCH FOR A FEW AREAS OF FOG. OTHERWISE PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES AND LOWER HUMIDITY. TOMORROW TEMPERATURES FOR SOME OF US MAY STRUGGLE TO GET BACK TO 80 DEGREES, ESPECIALLY NORTH OF THE CITY, FOR A NICE BREAK FROM THE HEAT AND THE HUMIDITY. AND THEN THAT’S OVER. ON TUESDAY. TEMPERATURES SHOULD SKYROCKET BACK TOWARDS 90 DEGREES. MAY HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE FOR A SHOWER. CHANCE TRIES TO ROLL IN HERE RIGHT LATE, BUT I THINK TUESDAY IS DRY. THAT BETTER SHOWER CHANCE LOOKS TO GET HERE ON WEDNESDAY AND BRING SHOWERS AND STORMS TO THE AREA. BECAUSE OF THAT, WEDNESDAY IS AN IMPACT DAY, SO PLENTY OF CLOUDS IF YOU’RE NOT SEEING RAIN ON ACTION CAM AGAIN, THAT STORM IS TECHNICALLY LOOKING OFF TO THE LEFT HAND PART OF YOUR SCREEN. 81 AT THE AIRPORT, WINDS GUSTING TO 21MPH. WINDS ARE SUSTAINED SOUTHWEST AT NINE MILES PER HOUR. IT’S MUGGY DEW POINTS AT 6982. TOMORROW WILL START IN THE LOWER 60S, STARTING AT 60. TUESDAY BACK TO 88 WEDNESDAY. THAT IMPACT DAY FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL DROP. THE HUMIDITY AND HEAT AGAIN ON THURSDAY AT 77. BACK TOWARDS 90, WITH ANOTHER CHANCE OF RAIN AND STORMS LATE
