We should get one more pleasant day today before the rain and storm chances are set to return on Wednesday.
A cool front swinging through our region is sparking a few isolated, heavy downpours, and they'll slowly slide east through mid-evening.
It's been a warm, humid Saturday with some sunshine, but now clouds build, with a few isolated showers trying to move in from the west with a passing disturbance.
Our gloomy Sunday continues, but that's a good tool for keeping any severe storm development at bay.
Scattered showers and thunderstorm chances stick around the rest of tonight, tomorrow, and Monday.
A Code Red Air Quality Action Day has been issued by the Department of Environmental Protection for the second straight day.
KDKA's John Shumway went looking into the potential tree trouble.
Temperatures will be cooler Tuesday, with highs near 70 and morning lows in the low 60s.

The KDKA-TV First Alert Weather Team is issuing a First Alert Weather Day for Sunday night for the possibility that severe storms could hold together across our area.
Sunday will start mainly dry until the mid-to-late afternoon when a chance of scattered showers returns.

Even though summer does not officially start until 10:58 a.m. on Wednesday, it will feel like summer, starting on Father's Day.
The rain will be nice and much-needed.
While the rain by itself probably won't constitute a 'drought buster', conditions will help to make this rain a 'soaking' shower with little in the way lost due to downpours or evaporation.
After 21 days of no measurable rain at the airport, we have recorded 0.02 inches of rain, with more showers and even a few storms on the way later tonight.
We will still have a Code Yellow air quality status for Sunday for some of the haze and smoke in the upper levels of the atmosphere.
The interesting week continues, with several unusual things all coming together, giving us mets plenty of things to discuss.
This is such an interesting week.
