Pittsburgh, PA – Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to drench western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio through Monday as a stalled frontal boundary triggers rounds of precipitation and a potential flood risk.
According to the National Weather Service Pittsburgh, a Marginal Risk for excessive rainfall is in place today through Sunday, with the highest chances for heavy rain on Saturday and Sunday. Many cities—including Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Zanesville—are seeing rain probabilities climb to 75% during afternoon and evening hours this weekend.
In Pittsburgh, rain chances spike to 70% by 6 p.m. Saturday and remain elevated through Sunday night. Latrobe and Indiana could also see persistent downpours, while areas like Coshocton and Davis approach 80% probabilities during peak hours.
Localized flooding is possible in low-lying areas and near small streams. Commuters should watch for ponding on roads, and residents are advised to clear storm drains and secure outdoor belongings. Thunderstorm activity may also bring gusty winds and brief lightning hazards.
Rain is expected to taper slightly by Monday evening, though scattered showers may linger into early Tuesday. Additional flood watches or alerts could be issued if rainfall rates increase.
