Pittsburgh, PA – Residents of eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania should prepare for potential isolated storms tonight, particularly along and north of Interstate 80. The National Weather Service has indicated a 10-20% chance of precipitation before 8 p.m., with a conditional threat of damaging winds through 8 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service Pittsburgh office, the primary concern is a possible thunderstorm complex that could enter eastern Ohio after 8 p.m. and move eastward overnight, posing a risk of damaging winds if it remains strong. The larger area highlighted by the NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center suggests that this weather system could extend into western Pennsylvania, with a low but present risk of severe weather.
Residents are advised to remain vigilant and monitor weather updates closely. It is essential to have a reliable way to receive weather warnings and be prepared to take shelter if necessary. The probability of severe weather is low, but conditions can change rapidly.
The forecast for the upcoming days shows a continuation of variable weather patterns. On Friday, temperatures will drop slightly with a 60% chance of rain, followed by a 50% chance of showers on Saturday. Sunday looks to be mostly sunny with a high of 88°F. The early part of next week will bring temperatures in the mid-80s, with another cool down to the upper 70s by Wednesday. Stay informed and take necessary precautions to stay safe.
