There's going to be plenty of rain around today throughout the Pittsburgh area
There's going to be plenty of rain around today throughout the Pittsburgh area. Any Alert Days Ahead? Thursday and Friday both will have a risk for severe weather. Aware: Flood watches may be needed today if we are on the high side of forecast rain totals. Rain returned to the area yesterday, breaking a stretch of five straight days where we had seen no rain and pleasant weather conditions. Rain continues today with what is going to be a nearly all-day rain event. I have steady to light rain continuing through the morning and afternoon. The steady rain should wrap up around 6 p.m. this evening with more isolated showers expected for the rest of the day. Rain chances will be back on Wednesday. KDKA Weather Center I have most places seeing around three-quarters of an inch of rain total from yesterday to today. If you include Wednesday, I think rain totals will be around an inch. Morning temperatures are in the low 60s, and highs today will hit the upper 60s. It will be cloudy with rain showers being steady through 6 p.m. and will be a little windy with winds coming out of the east at around 15mph this afternoon. Rain chances stick around on Thursday and Friday, but that rain chance will come from afternoon to evening storm chances. We are already included on the Thursday severe weather risk map (marginal level 1 out of 5). I expect we will also be included under the Friday severe risk map as well. Strong wind is the biggest concern on both days. KDKA Weather Center Highs should get back to the mid-70s on Wednesday. I have us hitting the 80s for highs on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Temperatures won't be as warm on Sunday, with us just hitting the mid-70s on what looks to now be a dry day overall.

Hours of steady rain led to localized flooding across South Florida
Heavy rains, which started late Sunday and lasted through late Monday morning, led to a soggy commute across South Florida. In Edgewater, an area prone to flooding during storms, the City of Miami turned on pumps to drain the water from the soaked streets. In downtown Miami, a portion of Biscayne Boulevard between northeast NE 10 Street and NE 14 Street was underwater and the roadway was closed to traffic. In Miami Beach Ana Maria Delfoni said she doesn't drive during the storms. But when a different kind of nature called, she dressed up her dogs in rain jackets as she took them out for a walk. "It's been going and going and my little dogs needed to go outside, so we decided to dress up and just get out there," she said. Across Broward County, it was a similar situation with some roads flooded from the hours of steady rain. Scattered showers and storms will move through during the afternoon. And another round of heavy rain will be possible on Monday night. South Florida is under a flood watch through 8 a.m. Tuesday. Parking in flood prone areas Parking garages in Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood are now free for residents who want to park on higher ground during the storms. Miami Beach residents who live in flood prone areas can park their cars in nine of the city's garages for free through noon Tuesday. The garages at the Miami Beach Convention Center (1901 Convention Center Drive), 5 Street & Alton Road (550 Lenox Avenue), and City Hall (1755 Meridian Avenue) are not included. In Fort Lauderdale, residents looking to protect their vehicles can park them for free at the Las Olas Garage, 200 Las Olas Circle, or at the Riverwalk Center Garage, 150 SE 2nd Street, on the third level and above. Vehicles may remain up to 24 hours after the advisory ends. In Hollywood, residents can park for free in four city garages through 8 a.m. Wednesday to keep their cars out of potential flood waters.

Severe storms, flood watch across South Florida prompt Monday NEXT Weather Alert
South Florida is under a NEXT Weather Alert on Monday as a powerful line of strong to severe storms threatens to drench the region with up to 6 inches of rain, gusty winds and the risk of isolated tornadoes. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch beginning early Monday morning, with storms expected to reach the Florida Keys by 6 a.m. and the East Coast metro areas by around 8 a.m. The most intense period of storms is expected between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m., moving west to east through the region. The NEXT Weather team warns of very heavy rainfall rates, which could cause roadways to flood quickly. Gusty winds may lead to localized damage, and there's also the chance that a brief tornado could spin up as the storms roll through. Officials are urging drivers to stay off flooded roads and to monitor alerts throughout the day. More storms possible Monday afternoon and evening A brief lull in activity may arrive by midday as the initial line of storms moves offshore. However, the atmosphere could recharge during the afternoon, with more scattered showers and storms possible between noon and 3 p.m. If enough sunshine breaks through, new storms may redevelop in the late afternoon and evening hours. The flood risk will remain elevated through the evening, particularly in areas already soaked by morning rainfall. Storms are forecast to taper off late Monday night, with only isolated showers expected into Tuesday morning. The NEXT Weather Alert is expected to expire early Tuesday as drier air arrives, reducing rain chances and bringing more stable weather conditions through the remainder of the week.
