Pittsburgh-area weather conditions will be pleasant again today with a chance for rain returning this evening
It's going to be another pleasant day in the Pittsburgh area today before a rain chance returns to the forecast this evening. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos Soak up the sunshine and warmth while you can. As a wise Marvel wizard once said, 'we are in the endgame now when it comes to summer. Ok so he may not have been talking about summer, but you get the point. This is the time of the year when pumpkin spice this or that begins showing up on store shelves. The kids are going back to school either this week or next. Pools are beginning to change their schedules. You may be in denial that summer is coming to an end, but that will be harder to do heading into next week. For now, we get to continue to enjoy summer. Highs today should hit the upper 80s. I have Pittsburgh seeing a high temperature of around 87°. I also have us hitting 87° on Saturday for our high. While today will be dry and will see plenty of sunshine, rain chances will roll in overnight. Places along I-80 will likely see the highest rain totals, with some maybe hitting an inch. Most places along I-80 can expect to see around a half inch. Rain totals closer to Pittsburgh will be a lot more modest of maybe a fifth of an inch. The best chance for rain in Pittsburgh will come during and just before the morning rush on Wednesday. Expect drizzle and light rain in pockets for the rest of the day and on Thursday morning. I have Wednesday's high hitting 83 degrees. That may be too high. Thursday and Friday will both see highs in the low 80s too, as a cooler airmass is in place. We get a quick bump in temperatures on Saturday before another front sweeps through during the evening. This time, we not only get cooler air from the cold front, but a trailing trough will really send temperatures dipping. I have highs in just the mid to low 70s next Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday. While I keep morning lows in the 50s next week, most communities will see morning lows dipping to the 40s.

Two sewer line river crossings are being built at Asheville parks: What to know
ASHEVILLE – A multimillion dollar Metropolitan Sewerage District project will build two new pipeline river crossings at French Broad River and Carrier parks, timed to coincide with restoration efforts in the heavily Tropical Storm Helene-damaged areas. Pipes will be built under the river using a cofferdam — which creates a horseshoe-shaped enclosure in the water made of rock, earth and gravel. The area within is then drained and the line installed. A similar process is underway in Woodfin for the Taylor's Wave project. In-water work at French Broad River Park began Aug. 4. It is part of the $105 million Carrier Bridge Pump Station project, which will replace MSD's largest pump station, built in 1966, that sits adjacent to French Broad River Park. Work on the project started this summer at the once-lush city park, previously home to a dog play area and walking paths, that was ravaged in the September storm. Earlier this year, tree clearing at the site of its new pump station raised alarm, especially when coupled with tree loss from flooding and contractor work during debris clearing. MSD Director of Engineering Hunter Carson said in an April presentation to City Council that the sewerage district's tree removal was 'relatively minimal' when compared to the clearing at the park by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who were contracted for waterway debris removal within Asheville city limits. The Army Corps, and subcontractor AshBritt, began working at the park in mid-January, Carson told the Citizen Times Aug. 18. All downed trees and many standing trees were removed during the Corps' cleanup process, he said. 'That work had nothing to do with MSD,' Carson said in an email. In early March, MSD cleared the site for its new pump station, a two-acre parcel to the north of the existing station. At the same time, it cleared approximately 15 trees along the river to accommodate the ongoing pipe replacement work. Carson described the pump station as the 'heart' of the system, serving about half of its service area, including south and west Buncombe County, and north Henderson County. Improvements are essential to accommodate future wastewater flows and protect the quality of the French Broad River, according to MSD's website. The entire project is anticipated to be completed in 2029. Pump station capacity is the primary driver of the replacement project, but age and condition are also factors, Carson said. It will accommodate growth for more than 50 years. Cleary Construction, the pipeline river crossings contractor, will begin installation at French Broad River Park on the west side of the river. Once complete, the contractors will move to the other side, adjacent to Lyman Street. The first river crossing is expected to be finished in mid-January, Carson said. The timeline is subject to change based on rainfall and river elevation. Once pipeline installation is complete, Carson said cofferdam material will be removed and any disturbed riverbank will be restored using natural bank stabilization, which might include a mix of riparian grasses and small woody vegetation. Construction of the pump station, awarded to Ruby-Collins, Inc., for a $75.4 million contract, is expected to begin in early 2026, according to MSD's website. The park remains closed to visitors. Carson said despite signage and fencing, people continue to run, walk and bike through the construction area and he urged posted signage be obeyed, fearing someone could get hurt. The city issued a request for qualifications for design services to rebuild the parks system on the French Broad River in April. Asheville City Council will consider a contract Aug. 26 to hire a team of design and engineering professionals. The design plan will produce designs and cost estimates for priority projects identified and developed collaboratively with community residents, stakeholder groups and partner agencies, according to its project page.

EPA allocates $409M to NC to prepare local water infrastructure for future disasters
ASHEVILLE – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has allocated $409.4 million to the state to prepare local drinking water utilities for future natural disasters. Tropical Storm Helene knocked out Asheville's water system in September, leaving its 160,000 customers without potable water for seven weeks. Even after repairs, the system is more vulnerable to future storms. 'In February, I visited communities in Asheville to witness firsthand the crucial role drinking water utilities have in responding to natural disasters,' EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in an Aug. 11 news release. 'This funding to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality will help secure the infrastructure of these systems to ensure EPA can fulfill its core mission to protect human health and the environment.' More: Trump EPA admin Zeldin visits Asheville, talks riverfront debris, pollution, businesses The storm killed more than 100 people and caused an estimated $60 billion in damage. Asheville Water Department spokesperson Clay Chandler said the funding would be "critical" to the operation of water systems across the state. 'This money will be put to good use, not only here in Asheville, but there are other water systems in Western North Carolina who need it, too," he told the Citizen Times Aug. 13. In Burnsville, a town in Yancey County, northeast of Asheville, Helene destroyed both of its raw water intakes, leaving residents, businesses, schools, medical facilities and government agencies without water, Mayor Russell Fox said in the release. The town is still running on a temporary pumping system until the primary intake system can be rebuilt. More: Helene spared their home. But without a bridge, living there isn't easy. Old Fort, in McDowell County, also saw its water system destroyed. It was brought back 'as quickly as possible' with "Band-aid repairs," Mayor Pam Snypes said in the release, but the last 10 months have been spent making repairs more efficient. 'Repairs are very expensive,' Snypes said. 'The availability of these funds will provide a way to ensure going forward that our water system will be a stable system in the event another disaster occurs.' The nearly $400 million is part of the 2025 Supplemental Appropriation for Helene, Milton and the Hawaii wildfires, administered by the state revolving fund. Dollars can be used to improve drinking water treatment, distribute water, improve the source of water supply, replace or construct finished water storage tanks and complete other projects needed to protect public health through drinking water infrastructure. Sen. Ted Budd applauded the allocation in an Aug. 12 release. He said repairing Western North Carolina's damaged infrastructure is a 'key component' of ongoing recovery efforts. 'This is a step in the right direction to aid reconstruction efforts and mitigate future natural disasters,' he said. Though dollars are earmarked for water infrastructure improvements, it is not yet dedicated to specific projects, Chandler said. WNC water utilities will have to apply for funding, attaching various projects to their applications. As of May, the federal government had awarded the state $3.8 billion for Helene recovery. The state has approved more than $2 billion in disaster aid over four bills. Status of Asheville water projects? In July, the city approved two multimillion-dollar contracts to sustain operations of a temporary water pretreatment system installed after the storm. The systems were described as a 'needed redundancy' if turbidity spikes again in the city's reservoirs. The city is working toward eventual installation of a permanent solution — a $150 million to $200 million project and a buildout that could take up to five years. The temporary pretreatment systems have been operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at two city water treatment plants for months and funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. At North Fork, the city's largest treatment plant, that contract ended Aug. 9 and contractor CDM Smith, Inc. took over operations. The contract at William DeBruhl, a smaller plant in Swannanoa, ends Aug. 18, with a separate contractor ready to take over. The city applied for funding for the temporary and permanent systems through FEMA's Public Assistance program, which provides supplemental grants to local governments impacted by disasters. It does not have a timeline for when funding might be awarded. The temporary systems will be in place at both water plants at least until late September, Chandler said. The city is negotiating to have them remain for as long as possible, or until a permanent solution is in place. Chandler said the city will likely apply for EPA funds for the permanent pretreatment system. The city is still exploring if the temporary system could be eligible for that funding.
