Pittsburgh, PA – Residents in the Pittsburgh area should be prepared for isolated thunderstorms today, which are expected to develop between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The storms, while not widespread, could bring gusty winds and occasional lightning, particularly along and east of I-79.
According to the National Weather Service, the probability of these storms is low, but the potential impact, especially in localized areas, should not be underestimated. Pittsburghers are advised to monitor local radar and weather alerts throughout the day, as conditions could change rapidly. The primary concern is the combination of increasing humidity and temperatures, which are forecast to reach 90°F, with heat indices potentially climbing to 95°F in some areas.
