Even with some families in the dark, Fox Chapel to resume in-person classes on Tuesday
Dave Pechersky lives on Windsor Road and has kids within the district.
'Tuesday was they're last day in school. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday there was no school. Today they had a virtual day, but we didn't have internet, so they were using hot spots to get onto their school iPads and it's been pretty disruptive.'
Pechersky is among the parents who were told their students will have to walk a bit further to their bus stop on Tuesday due to continued road closures in the area. His son Theo is 12 years old.
'It makes me feel a little crazy to think I have to walk over powerlines and things like that. It's not a normal school day,' Theo said.
Neighbors on Windsor Road are still without power. They are forced to drive under power lines and around damage, now almost a week after the storm hit.
'They have to rebuild the lines that go around the entire circle. So we are not exactly sure when that is going to happen,' Dave Pechersky said.
Fox Chapel was in the middle of PSSA testing during the storm and will resume in-person classes on Tuesday. Theo said he's nervous to see what school work he will be thrown back into,bBut he said there were some upsides.
'But at the same time, I get five days off of school, so that's pretty nice,' Theo said.

Widespread, mostly light rain expected for most of Saturday
Plan for damp and muddy conditions if headed to the US Open on Saturday morning. The rain will be more widespread but, for the most part, pretty light. The steadiest rain will set up from roughly Pittsburgh points north, with a Flood Watch in effect for counties along I-80 until 4 p.m. TRACK THE RAIN WITH OUR INTERACTIVE RADAR There will be some breaks today, but additional showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon and early evening. While rain can't be ruled out anywhere, it appears the highest risk for heavy rain and lightning will be south of Pittsburgh. After a break tonight, additional scattered showers are expected on Sunday. Not everyone will see them, but any rain that does develop will be very slow-moving, which may lead to a localized flood threat. We should see a relative lull in the rainfall on Monday, but more humidity and daily chances for thunderstorms will return for the middle of next week.

Wet weekend expected, washout not likely
The weekend will not be a washout, but it will be wet at times, so plan ahead before heading outdoors and take the rain gear if you're heading to Oakmont. Showers and a rumble of thunder will keep most of the area damp through lunchtime Saturday with a few pockets of moderate rain possible. The steadiest rain will lift north of Pittsburgh through early afternoon leaving some drier hours, but another round of pop-up storms will disrupt your evening. Storms on Saturday evening will be widely scattered and may set up south of Pittsburgh so not everyone will get wet, but any storm that develops could bring pockets of heavy rain. A similar pattern Sunday will keep wet weather around off and on through the day with the heaviest rain focused south of Pittsburgh. Make sure you check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News.
