Yesterday I talked about how the timing of today’s rain was going to be key as model data all of a sudden was pushing the timing of the rain back to the early afternoon. If we continued to see rain chances sliding into the later part of the day then we would potentially see a severe weather chance.
The good news is that we have seen model data do an about-face. The first rain of the day will be around maybe as early as 8 a.m. for places up along I-80 like Mercer and Lawrence County. Rain should have arrived in Pittsburgh by 10 a.m.
Rain will continue until around 4:00 this afternoon.
Just a heads up, while the Storm Prediction Center has not highlighted the area just yet I think places in Northeast Pennsylvania will see severe storms later today. Strong wind should be the biggest concern if heading to that area.
Due to rain, highs today will dip to the mid to low 70s. I have Pittsburgh seeing a high of 73°. Today’s high should be reached around noon with temperatures slowly falling for the rest of the day. I have today’s low (57°) being hit just before midnight.
Wednesday should see some morning fog around. Morning lows will dip down to around 51°. Wednesday highs will be near 80 degrees and may be the best-feeling day of the week. We should continue to see temperatures ticking up through Friday when we see our next good chance to see rain. I have Friday highs hitting the mid-80s.
It now looks like the best chance for weekend rain will occur late Friday into early Saturday morning. Great news for Marathon weekend.

Pittsburgh-area man accused of telling 7-year-old girl to take inappropriate photos of herself during Bible study
SOUTH PARK TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) — A man was arrested after police said he told a 7-year-old girl to use his cellphone to take an inappropriate photo of herself during a Bible study session at a Pittsburgh-area home.
Twenty-one-year-old Michael McFarland of North Huntingdon Township is facing several charges, including unlawful contact with a minor, criminal solicitation and sexual abuse of children, Allegheny County police announced on Monday. Police said McFarland also has several other victims they haven’t been able to identify.
County police said their investigation into McFarland began after they got a ChildLine report in March about a 7-year-old girl.
Through witness interviews, police said they learned that during a Bible study session at a home in South Park Township, McFarland told the girl to go into the bathroom and take an inappropriate photo of herself. The victim knew McFarland from Providence Reformed Church, police said.
As part of the investigation, police said detectives looked at McFarland’s phone. Detectives found nearly a dozen photos of seven girls “in various states of undress,” but authorities have been unable to identify any of them. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the county police tipline at 1-833-ALL-TIPS.
