Any Alert Days Ahead?  There are a couple of potential FAWDs. I suspect Saturday will be a FAWD due to the chance of storms on Saturday morning, coupled with the possibility of big rain totals. 

Aware: Yesterday was the second wettest day of the year so far with Pittsburgh recording 1.04 inches of rain. 

More rain is in the forecast for Friday. You'll get used to it as I only have one completely dry day in my forecast over the next week, and that day is Wednesday. Besides that, look for several days of rain. Just because there is rain in the forecast doesn't mean the day will be a washout. Friday is a perfect example of that. We saw overnight light rain. We will see just an isolated chance for showers in the morning after 8 a.m. through around 6 p.m. Then we will see a brief period of storms followed by fairly widespread rain falling throughout the area through the overnight hours. So for dog walking purposes, Friday afternoon is the time to go do it.  Want to get in a nice afternoon run?  Friday afternoon is again the time to do it.

Rain chances will remain on Saturday and Sunday, where the rain will be relentless at times. We could see one or two places recording upwards of 4 inches of rain when you include Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday potential rain totals. Friday morning, a flood watch was issued for the weekend through Sunday where we could see an additional 2 inches - 3 inches of rain on top of the 1.5 inches we have already seen.

In the long-range, temperatures plummet on Sunday with snow chances back on Monday and Tuesday. We are looking at more snow than you are probably thinking with about 1.5 inches of snow expected to fall.
