Pittsburgh, PA – Heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue across eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania through early Saturday, with localized flash flooding possible where storms stall over the same areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, storms are moving slowly along a stationary front and may produce heavy downpours, gusty winds, and lightning through 2 a.m. Saturday. A Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) remains in effect for severe storms, particularly for areas south and east of Pittsburgh, including Beaver, Butler, and Allegheny counties.
In eastern Ohio, places like Youngstown, Steubenville, and East Liverpool may see multiple rounds of rain and embedded thunder. Storms could also impact travel on I-76, I-80, and Route 30, where ponding on roadways may develop quickly.
