Rain dies down Saturday morning, could return later in the day
Rain from overnight is starting to pull away this morning, at least temporarily. A front is stalling across the area today, which will keep waves of showers going through much of the weekend.
The steadiest rain today will move through early this afternoon and then again this evening, with thunderstorms most likely for areas south and east of Pittsburgh toward the Laurel Highlands. Widespread severe weather is not expected, but one or two storms could be strong with damaging winds the primary risk.
Steady light rain is expected much of the night before starting to pull away a bit Sunday morning. The Pittsburgh Marathon looks a bit too damp to start, but we may see breaks throughout the race. There will be many dry hours Sunday afternoon before the next round of storms arrives by evening.
This unsettled pattern will linger into early next week as an upper-level area of low pressure stalls nearby. Daily chances for showers and thunder are expected Monday and Tuesday before we finally start to dry out by mid-week.

Decreasing clouds, humidity dropping during the day
We'll have clouds and sun this afternoon with breezy conditions, and temperatures will reach the mid to upper 70s. A few isolated showers are possible, mainly south and east of Pittsburgh this afternoon through the evening. Comfortable conditions will settle in, with a clearing sky tonight and into early Wednesday morning, and lows dropping to the 50s. This clearing will give you a chance to catch a glimpse of the last full moon of spring, the full 'Strawberry Moon,' which reaches its peak Wednesday morning at 3:45 a.m. We'll have a pleasant start to Wednesday with plenty of sunshine and temperatures jumping to the low 80s. Wildfire smoke from Canada will begin to mix in a little more later Wednesday afternoon and evening and continue into Thursday. Make sure to check back for the latest on this throughout the week. This dry stretch will also continue through much of Friday, with the chance of a few showers or storms returning later Friday and into the weekend. Make sure you check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News. If you are heading to the U.S. Open at Oakmont, be sure to grab the sunscreen and a hat, as the UV Index is expected to climb into the high range with the threat of sunburn in as little as 20 minutes.
