Chances for severe weather on Tuesday KDKA Weather Center

We are under an Enhanced Risk for severe weather, which means a higher confidence for more numerous storms to be severe. It's a 3 out of 5 on the severe weather scale and exactly what we were under Saturday, with those severe storms bringing 2 confirmed tornadoes. 

Damaging winds, flash flooding, small hail, and even possible tornadoes arrive after 2 p.m. north and move through Pittsburgh and south into the evening. Stay weather aware! 

After storms move out, it'll be nice for the remainder of the week. A few showers linger Wednesday, but those below-normal temperatures will stick around with low humidity for the remainder of the week!
