Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Daily showers and thunderstorms are expected to soak southwestern Pennsylvania through Sunday, July 13, raising concerns about heavy rainfall and localized disruptions across the region.
What to Expect
According to the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, a stalled weather boundary will keep chances of rain elevated through the weekend. The heaviest storms are likely to occur in the afternoons. Cities like Pittsburgh, DuBois, Franklin, and Morgantown have 65% or higher chances of rain by Thursday, with 85% likelihood of measurable rain by Sunday.
Though not every day will be a complete washout, the persistent pattern means that almost every city from Indiana to Zanesville will see showers or storms at some point.
What’s the Impact?
Travel Hazards: Watch for water pooling on roads and possible slowdowns during heavy downpours, especially on highways like I-79 and I-70.
Increased Humidity: As the weekend approaches, humidity will rise, making the afternoons feel muggier.
Safety Tips
Monitor the weather for sudden changes.
Charge mobile devices ahead of storms.
