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!

Saturday serves as brief break in wet weather; steady rain returns Sunday
Pockets of heavy rain continue south of the Mason-Dixon line, so there's a Flash Flood Warning for Preston and Tucker counties in West Virginia through 8 a.m. Elsewhere, generally, light rain from Pittsburgh points south, and most of it exits by mid-morning. Clouds should give way to sun today, along with less humidity, offering a much-needed break from the rain and a good opportunity to hit the outdoors. Clouds will be on the increase tonight. We'll see another push of steady rain Sunday morning, with scattered showers and a few storms possible during the afternoon. At the moment, storms and heavy rain shouldn't be widespread, but areas that got heavy rain on Friday are much more vulnerable. The approach of a cold front will bring more showers and possibly strong storms Monday afternoon before we start to dry out Tuesday. The middle of next week looks pleasant with sunshine and low news for the start of the US Open! Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts.
