Sunday is a First Alert Weather Day with the chance for isolated strong to severe storms north and west of Pittsburgh. The risk has gone down with new models updating. The biggest threat is damaging winds and hail. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out during the afternoon and evening, but everyone is under a 'marginal risk' which is a 1 out of 5 meaning there's an isolated chance for strong winds and heavy downpours. Most will be short-lived.
Rain showers last through Monday morning and even some rumbles of thunder once the cold front passes. It'll get cooler than the temperatures we've had with highs in the upper 60s. Seasonable, sunny weather returns Tuesday through Thursday before another big warm-up happens for the end of the week and next weekend!
