Thursday afternoon showers come with chance of damaging winds, heavy downpours
Warm and muggy weather will help to fuel scattered showers and storms on Thursday. A few of the storms could bring strong winds and heavy downpours.
There will be many dry hours, but showers and storms will pop up after lunch and into the evening, with the threat of damaging winds before sunset.
Another round of strong to severe storms is possible Friday, with wet weather finally moving out after lunch Saturday. The threat of localized flooding may increase for areas that see repeated rounds of heavy rain.

Warm, muggy with rain, thunderstorms possible through the day Friday
It's very warm and muggy this morning with areas of mist and fog. Showers and a few downpours are developing over eastern Ohio and may move through the area by mid-morning. Counties north of Pittsburgh are most likely to see rain with this initial round. With higher levels of moisture today, we'll have to watch for more heavy downpours and thunderstorms this afternoon. And while widespread severe weather is not expected, the strongest storms are capable of producing gusty winds and localized flood issues, particularly over areas that got heavy rain yesterday. A break in the rain is expected Saturday, but an area of low pressure will bring more rain and thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon. The unsettled pattern will continue into Monday and Tuesday before a return to quiet weather for the middle of next week. At this point, it appears the first day of the US Open will be dry and relatively comfortable! Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts.

Dry stretch, Canadian wildfire smoke continue Wednesday
The dry stretch continues Wednesday, along with the hazy sunshine; highs will soar to the upper-80s. Canadian wildfire smoke will continue keeping our sky looking a little hazy at times through Thursday. There are no air quality alerts at this time, but those who are particularly sensitive to respiratory ailments should limit overexertion outside this afternoon and this evening. Toasty temperatures are expected again Thursday; highs will rise into the low to mid-80s. Scattered showers and storms will likely develop in the afternoon hours ahead of a slow-moving front. Storms could bring strong winds, hail and heavy pockets of rain at times. This pattern shift will also help push the smoke out of our area for the end of the week. Scattered showers and storms will be more widespread on Friday; severe storms could be possible with more wet weather for the start of the weekend. Storms Friday evening into Saturday could bring heavy rainfall to the area and produce localized flooding. Make sure to check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News.
