WTAE.COM. FOR PITTSBURGH’S ACTION TRAFFIC, I’M LILY COLEMAN. AND AS LILY WAS DELIVERING THAT TO US, MIKE AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW THE WORLD WE’RE GOING TO GET TO WORK DURING THAT DETOUR. YES WE WERE. WE HAVEN’T FIGURED IT OUT YET, SO WE BETTER GET ON IT. RIGHT. OKAY, WE BETTER GET ON. IS UMBRELLAS FOR OURSELVES BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO START RAINING AS WE GET INTO EARLY, OVERNIGHT AND INTO TOMORROW. TODAY, OUR LAST DAY WITH THE VERY WARM TEMPERATURES STILL 86 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN PITTSBURGH, 85 IN WASHINGTON, 82 IN WAYNESBURG, 85. CRANBURY NEW CASTLE AT 86 DEGREES. TOMORROW WE’LL DROP DOWN TO THE 70S. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT IN THE LOW TO MID 70S FOR TOMORROW. AND THEN WE’LL SEE TEMPERATURES DROPPING OFF INTO THE 60S. AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS ON WEDNESDAY AND IMPACT DAY. BECAUSE OF THE SHOWERS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ROLLING THROUGH. COULD HAVE SOME SHOWERS EARLY ON THURSDAY. SOUTHEAST OF PITTSBURGH THAT WILL MOVE OUT. IT WILL BECOME SUNNY AS WE GO LATER INTO THE DAY, AT LEAST PARTLY CLOUDY. AND THEN ON FRIDAY WE’RE LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR RAIN SHOWERS. MOST OF THAT WILL NOT ARRIVE UNTIL LATER INTO FRIDAY. AND THEN WE TAKE IT TO THE WEEKEND WHERE WE WILL STILL HAVE A CHANCE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS ON SATURDAY AND THEN INTO SUNDAY, AS WELL AS THE HOLIDAY ON MONDAY FOR MEMORIAL DAY AS WELL. TEMPERATURES DO RAISE RISE AS WE GO THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. ON MEMORIAL DAY, A HIGH TEMPERATURE PUSHING 80 DEGREES. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A COUPLE OF AREAS OF RAIN SHOWERS THAT ARE MOVING IN ONE DOWN TO THE SOUTH. THIS IS KIND OF LOSING ITS STEAM, BUT WE’LL PROBABLY MAKE IT ACROSS THE BORDER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN. AND YOU SEE THIS ONE. THIS ONE WILL ALSO START TO FALL APART AND DIE OUT A BIT AS IT GETS CLOSER TO US. SO IF YOU’RE UP TO THE NORTHWEST, LIKELY AROUND TEN, 11:00 TONIGHT, THIS IS GOING TO FINALLY MAKE IT TOWARDS YOU AND MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THIS ONE LINE OF SHOWERS GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO WHEELING. IF YOU’RE WHEELING, YOU’LL HAVE SOME LIGHT RAIN MOVING THROUGH YOUR AREA JUST SOUTH OF THERE, SOME HEAVIER RAIN AND EVEN SOME LIGHTNING STRIKES WITH THAT AS WELL AS IT MOVES OFF TO THE EAST, UP TO THE NORTH LATER TONIGHT. THAT’S THAT LONGER LINE THAT WILL BE PUSHING INTO THE AREA THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH. AND THEN WE GO INTO WEDNESDAY, WHERE WE WILL BE SEEING SOME SHOWERS. THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS THAT WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION. THAT’S 5:00 ON WEDNESDAY AND LATER, MORE RAIN MOVING IN AS WE GET INTO EARLY ON THURSDAY. LATER ON THURSDAY, THAT WILL MOVE ON OUT. WE’LL HAVE SOME SUNSHINE THAT WILL RETURN TO A PORTION OF THE AREA WE GO INTO FRIDAY. IT WILL BE CLOUDY FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE DAY, AND WE’LL HAVE RAIN SHOWERS THAT WILL MOVE IN LATER ON FRIDAY, SO OUR RAIN CHANCES WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY AS WELL AS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.
