There's a chance for an isolated shower south and east of Pittsburgh, but most of us won't see a drop of rain. Highs are still well above average in the upper 70s and even low 80s for some.
Overnight we will be mostly clear and mild near 60. Saturday, the chance for rain increases with scattered showers and thunderstorms and highs still near 80.
Sunday is a First Alert Weather Day with the chance for strong to severe storms north and west of Pittsburgh. The risk could be extended further east as the system gets closer. The biggest threat is damaging winds and hail. An isolated tornado can't be ruled out during the afternoon and evening. We are under a slight risk for severe weather, which is a 2 out of 5 on the severe weather scale. The rest of the region as of right now is under a marginal risk, which is a 1 out of 5, and there's an isolated chance for strong winds.
Rain showers last through Monday and it'll get cooler than the temperatures we've had lately, with highs in the upper 60s. Seasonable, sunny weather returns Tuesday through Thursday before another big warmup happens for the end of the week and next weekend!
