Storms possible Monday afternoon in the Pittsburgh area

KDKA-TV Morning Forecast (4-14-2025)

03:12

It’s a KDKA First Alert Weather Day, as storms are possible in the Pittsburgh area on Monday afternoon.

The highest chance for severe weather on Monday will be from 4 p.m. through around 9 p.m. tonight as a cool front slides by. The front will likely be the trigger for strong winds, large hail and even tornados.

The rest of the day should be uneventful and nice enough for kids to get outside to play. Just be aware that if the kids have outside practice, conditions could change quickly this evening, giving parents little to no notice before those strong winds roll through.

While there is a chance of a severe storm later today, most of today will be dry. Not only will it be dry but warmer too.

I have our high hitting 72 degrees and morning temperatures are near 50 degrees. Midday temperatures will be in the mid-60s, warmer than it was at any point on Sunday.

Skies today will be mostly cloudy with a couple of brief breaks in the clouds this afternoon. Winds won’t be too bad today, coming in out of the southwest at around 10-15mph.

Temperatures will begin to fall behind today’s severe weather chances with Tuesday’s high temperature being hit at midnight tonight. For the day on Tuesday, temperatures will be in the 40s.

On top of the temperatures in the 40s, wind speeds will be gusting into the 30s and 40s. There will also be light rain and even snow around throughout the day. Model data hints that this may be our last winter weather system of the season if you’re wondering.

The weather pattern is conducive to much warmer weather being in place for the rest of April.

Pittsburgh Marathon organizers open registration for fall 10 Miler

P3R, the organization behind the Pittsburgh Marathon, has opened registration for one of this fall’s largest local races.

Runners can now sign up for the 10 Miler and 10K, scheduled for Nov. 8. P3R expects a record-breaking 6,000 participants at this year’s events, according to spokeswoman Kelsey Emch. The events drew more than 5,500 participants last year.

The 10 Miler course begins at Station Square and travels through the North Shore, the Strip District and Downtown, while the 10K begins on the North Shore near PNC Park and follows the 10 Miler route the rest of the way.

Both races finish on Liberty Avenue Downtown – a common ending point for P3R events.

P3R CEO Troy Schooley said in a release that the 10 Miler and 10K have become a “signature fall tradition” for Pittsburghers of all abilities.

“Whether participants are chasing a personal best, enjoying the event with friends or taking part in the walking division, this race delivers an unforgettable experience while showcasing our city at its very best,” he said.

The 10 Miler costs around $66 per person with processing fees, and the 10K costs around $49. Discounts are available through June 9.

Those interested in participating can register on P3R’s website. Registrants receive complimentary racing bibs, branded long-sleeve shirts, and medals.

About 5 pounds of bees removed from Acrisure Stadium scaffolding ahead of Morgan Wallen concerts

Acrisure Stadium is buzzing with excitement ahead of the back-to-back Morgan Wallen concerts. Except it’s not the fans generating all the excitement — it’s about 5 pounds of honeybees.

The Fine Family Apiary in Monongahela said it was contacted on Wednesday about a swarm of bees clustered on the stage scaffolding. The apiary put the swarm in a “nuc box” and took them home before moving the bees into full-size equipment.

Owner Al Fine estimates the swarm weighed about 4 to 5 pounds and consisted of 12,000 to 15,000 bees. All said, it took less than two hours to get the job done.

Why do bees swarm?

Swarming is how honeybees propagate, Fine explained. According to Penn State Extension, during swarming, the queen and about half the workers leave their home to establish a new nest. The bees will form a temporary cluster, hanging out while scouts search the surrounding area for a more permanent home in hollow spaces like tree cavities or, occasionally, the walls of a home.

Swarms can stick around for several hours or days until they’re ready to move, Penn State Extension says. Meanwhile, the colony left behind is temporarily without a leader until a new queen is established.

With the swarm at Acrisure Stadium removed, Morgan Wallen’s show is ready to go on. The country music megastar will bring his I’m The Problem Tour to Pittsburgh on June 5 and June 6, along with multiple acts like Brooks & Dunn and Ella Langley.
