ALERT: Tuesday is a First Alert Weather Day for the potential of strong to severe thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain.

AWARE: Several days in the new week come with rain starting late tonight into early Monday morning. 

Rain returns tonight, with potentially heavy rain at times through early to mid-morning, especially along and south of I-70. We'll get several hours of dry time midday Monday, before another round of rain and storms arrives later Monday night into Tuesday morning. Again, areas to the south will see higher totals. A flood watch is now in effect for Greene, Fayette, Monongalia, Preston and Garrett counties through late Tuesday night, where some spots could be drenched with up to three or more inches of rain by then. 

Generally, expect one to three inches of rain areawide between tonight and late Tuesday night, and be on alert for potential flash flooding.

Tuesday is now a First Alert Weather Day, with the focus on potentially severe storms in the afternoon and evening, again mainly south of Pittsburgh. Damaging wind gusts are currently the greatest threat in those storms, but they could also produce hail and very heavy rain with flooding. 

After that, temperatures will drop on Wednesday, and we will end the week with rain and snow chances. Look for a chilly Pirates home opener on Friday.  

Mostly cloudy skies are expected, with a small chance of a quick raindrop or snowflake, but it does not look like anything that will be a big deal at this time.
