The first official day of summer in Pittsburgh comes with clouds and overnight rain
Happy Father's Day and Happy First Day of Summer! Summer began at 4:24 a.m. The Summer Solstice marks the longest daylight of the year.
After a foggy morning, we will have mostly cloudy skies and highs near 80 today, which is seasonable.
Heavy rain arrives overnight and lasts through the morning commute and lingers until about noon. Some areas, especially north of Pittsburgh, could pick up about 1" of rain or a little more.
We need the rain; we are about 1.50" below normal for the month so far in Pittsburgh. There will be a few rumbles of thunder, but nothing severe is expected. There is a low threat of flash flooding.
It will be a cooler Monday with highs in the low to mid 70s. Scattered showers linger through the evening, and then we dry out through the evening.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be mostly sunny with highs in the upper 70s and touching 80 for many.
Humidity increases for the end of the week, and we still have mostly sunny skies Thursday with dry time, but an isolated thunderstorm can't be ruled out.
There are a few showers possible Friday and Saturday, but right now it's trending mostly dry!
