AND OF COURSE OUR WTAE APP AT 12:29 THIS WEDNESDAY WE’RE GOING TO PITTSBURGH’S WEATHER BECAUSE IT’S A STRONG WEATHER DAY AND IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF US OUT THERE. BRIAN. Yes, we will be monitoring for storms the rest of the day and overnight. The good news is that these will not be large-scale storms all at once. The bad news is that storms occur at almost every point, and any storm that results in them can be severe. MAIN DANGER: SOME HEAVY RAIN. I don’t think flooding is a major problem, but sitting under heavy rain long enough could cause minor flooding. Damaging winds, although the biggest concern today is that wind gusts could reach speeds of 60 to 70 miles per hour. HAIL IS POSSIBLE, BUT A TORNADO THREAT IS POSSIBLE AT THE LOW END OF THE SCALE. But at the lower end of the scale, heavy rain and damaging winds are really our main concern. So again, many of us are sober at this point. A thunderstorm rolled through Mercer County. THIS WARNING HAS EXPIRED, NOW DOWNLOADED AS IT EXPIRES IN PARTS OF VENANGO COUNTY. THERE COULD BE SOME MORE GUSTS DIRECTLY ABOVE FRANKLIN AND OIL CITY. So this storm system along Route Eight will disappear in the next few minutes. WE WATCH FOR MORE SINGLE STORMS looking to fire through the afternoon and then we’ll see a break until overnight where another round of showers and storms will be possible between about two and four o’clock, with the rain tapering off once we get on morning commute to 80, except where it was raining, 78 in Newcastle and Franklin. That’s why we stay late into the night on the day of the severe weather warning. I’ll show you when the rain will finally come out here and what to expect for your Memorial Day weekend forecast.
