Heavy Rains, Storms, High Winds On The Way For Pittsburgh

PITTSBURGH, PA — No snow is in the forecast for Pittsburgh this week, but expect some wild weather in the metro area.

First, the good news: Monday's high temperature is expected to be in the mid-60s, well above average for late February. The low overnight will be around 45, which is warmer than the typical high temperature for the day.

Now the bad news: Rain with thunderstorms, along with breezy winds with gusts as high as 30 mph, will arrive on Tuesday. Rainfall amounts from Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday could total nearly two inches, which raises the potential for localized flooding.

The high on Wednesday is expected to be in the mid-60s. But a passing cold front will bring much more seasonal temperatures to the area - the anticipated high on Thursday only will be in the upper 30s.
