Pittsburgh, PA – A significant weather shift is on the horizon for Pennsylvania, with a severe storm risk increasing through Tuesday evening. According to the National Weather Service, a cold front moving across the state will bring a heightened potential for storms that could include damaging winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes.
The storms are expected to develop in the late afternoon, continuing into the evening hours, with the highest probability of severe weather affecting areas to the north and west of Pittsburgh. While the storm risk remains widespread, areas farther north and west are more likely to experience the most intense conditions.
The National Weather Service has issued a Level 2 (slight) risk for severe storms, meaning the confidence in storm development is increasing, and a few storms could become significant. Residents are urged to monitor the latest forecasts and take precautions, including securing outdoor items, staying indoors during the storm, and preparing for potential power outages.
As the front moves through, the storm risk is expected to diminish after sunset, but further alerts could follow depending on storm activity. Be sure to stay updated on changing weather conditions through trusted sources such as local news and official weather warnings.
