Pittsburgh area to see afternoon storm chances on Monday
The Pittsburgh area is set to see stormy weather late Monday afternoon. We have one more stormy day before we get some relief from the storms.
Unlike yesterday, most of today will be dry. Storm chances should hold off until after 5 p.m. this afternoon, but everyone should see rain and storms after 5 p.m. but before 9 p.m. as a line of severe weather rolls through.
All forms of severe weather are on the table, including strong winds, large hail, and even tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center has a large part of our area under a slight (level 2 out of 5) risk for severe weather.
Before 5 p.m., today will be a little humid with dew points hovering near 60 degrees. Winds will be out of the southwest at around 10 mph this afternoon. We will start the day off with sunny skies for sunrise, with sunny skies sticking around through around 9 a.m.
It should be partly cloudy through 1 p.m., and then mostly cloudy for the rest of the day. Noon temperatures will be in the mid-70s. Highs today should hit 80 degrees, and it wouldn't be surprising if we briefly hit maybe 82 degrees just ahead of the storms.
On top of stormy weather, we will also have a chance for flash flooding. The Weather Prediction Center has placed part of our area under a slight (level 2 out of 4) risk of flash flooding today, with a fairly high 40 percent chance.
It will not take much rain at all for us to see flooding breaking out. Please be aware that flooding is the biggest risk when it comes to human safety, with more people dying of flooding than any other severe weather type.
Besides perhaps a little rain falling just after midnight, we begin a dry stretch of weather on Tuesday, with us likely being dry Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
Rain and a severe weather risk look to return on Saturday. Highs on Tuesday will hit the mid-70s, and it will be very comfortable. Wednesday highs will be near 80 with another comfy day expected.

Northern Lights Alert: 8 States May See Aurora Borealis Monday
Geomagnetic storm conditions are possible Monday after a recent coronal mass ejection, potentially bringing the northern lights to several states in the northern U.S., according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Some geomagnetic storm conditions are expected after a coronal mass ejection that left the sun last ... More week, forecasters said. NOAA forecast auroral activity with a Kp index of three on a scale of nine for Monday night, suggesting the aurora borealis may be visible farther from the poles and be 'quite pleasing to look at' for those in the right areas. NOAA noted the Kp index may be upgraded to just over four, signaling higher confidence of the northern lights being seen in parts of Maine and South Dakota, saying a 'minor' geomagnetic storm is possible Monday because of the lingering effects of a coronal mass ejection that left the sun on June 6. Similar auroral activity is expected Tuesday and Wednesday, with a maximum Kp index of three and four forecast for either day, respectively, according to NOAA's three-day projections. Parts of northeastern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, northern Minnesota, Upper Michigan and northern Wisconsin have a low, but potential, chance of seeing the northern lights. Most of Canada and Alaska have a higher likelihood of viewing the phenomenon. (See map below.) Monday's view line. NOAA recommends traveling to an unobstructed, north-facing and high vantage point away from light pollution to see the northern lights, which the agency said are best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. Photography experts told National Geographic it's best to use a tripod to stabilize the image, while also using a wide-angle lens, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the furthest possible setting. With a smartphone, NASA recommends enabling night mode, disabling flash and opting for a slower shutter speed, if possible. An increase in solar events like coronal mass ejections and solar flares will likely persist into early 2026, according to NASA's projections. This rise coincides with activity on the sun's surface achieving a 'solar maximum' in October 2024, which occurs over the sun's 11-year cycle that includes a 'solar minimum' and a decline in solar events. Geomagnetic storm events ramped up in intensity last year, after one of the strongest storms in 20 years disrupted Earth's magnetic field and led to the northern lights being spotted in all 50 states.

Powerful thunderstorms packing hurricane-force wind gusts and large hail swept across portions of Texas and Oklahoma on Sunday, knocking out power to tens of thousands of utility customers. Noaa's Storm Prediction Center had warned that a potential derecho could develop and track across North Texas overnight. However, the FOX Forecast Center determined that it did not come into fruition. Millions of people living along the Interstate 95 corridor on the East Coast were walloped by strong to severe thunderstorms on Sunday, with cities like Washington and Baltimore facing the risk of some tornadoes. There were numerous reports of trees being brought down from Virginia to South Carolina, and at least two possible tornadoes were reported in Virginia. Tropical Storm Barbara is off Mexico's southern coast and is expected to become the Eastern Pacific's first hurricane on Monday. A few hundred miles to the west of Tropical Storm Barbara, Tropical Depression Three-E became Tropical Storm Cosme on Sunday and is also forecast to intensify to near-hurricane strength this week. Another area to watch behind those two systems now has a medium chance of developing into a tropical depression later this week or over the weekend. Severe weather is expected again across a large portion of the Southeast and Northeast on Monday, but the intensity will be dialed back some. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed a large portion of the region in a Level 2 threat on its 5-point severe thunderstorm risk scale. The main threats from storms that develop will be damaging wind gusts and some hail, but there is also a tornado risk in parts of the Deep South, Ohio Valley and Northeast. On May 19, animal control officers with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office responded to a call in Golden, Colorado, when a homeowner discovered a family of raccoons had moved into their wood-burning stove. The stove "had become the temporary Airbnb" for the family, according to the sheriff's office. Officers said as they opened the stove door, the mamma raccoon "ran up the chimney and onto the roof like it was her personal action movie." Officers gently scooped up the tiny fluffballs and placed them in a quiet bush outside the home to wait for their mamma. Here are a few more stories you might find interesting.
