Scattered to numerous storms expected in Pittsburgh on Saturday afternoon
Parts of our area got slammed with strong storms and very heavy rain Friday afternoon and evening. Pittsburgh officially received 1.42" of rain with isolated higher amounts in other portions of our area, which led to localized flash flooding. We expect a similar pattern to result as we head into this afternoon and evening with more storms and locally heavy rain. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos A weakening cold front is located to our northwest, moving across the Great Lakes States and the Midwest. High temperatures and rain chances in the region KDKA Weather Center This front will eventually move into our northern counties by late morning to early afternoon, with the air ahead of it warming up and remaining very humid. We are not expecting record-breaking levels of atmospheric moisture like yesterday, but levels will certainly be much higher than usual for this time of year. Once temperatures at the surface hit around 85°F, which will be around 12-1 p.m., we expect storms to start forming around the I-80 to HWY 422 corridor and slowly move east and southeast. Storm threats on Saturday afternoon KDKA Weather Center The most likely timing for Pittsburgh to see storms today will be between 2-7 p.m. As storms pulse up and collapse, there will be a microburst wind potential with gusts upwards of 60mph along with small hail and very heavy rain. Storms should diminish after sunset with a loss of daytime heating. With light and variable winds overnight and high humidity, dense fog will develop during the predawn hours of Sunday morning. Low temperatures and rain chances in the region on Saturday night KDKA Weather Center The fog will mix out after sunrise Sunday morning, then temperatures will heat up well into the upper 80s to near 90°F in the afternoon. It will be quite uncomfortable with high levels of humidity, but the overall rain chances appear much lower. Sunday night into Monday morning, we will watch the approach of our next storm system. A strong southwest wind will transport very deep and high levels of moisture into our region. High temperatures expected on Sunday KDKA Weather Center As a matter of fact, atmospheric moisture levels are projected to break records, which will set us up for an environment of storms to produce heavy rain and flash flooding. Some severe storms are possible as well as we will have stronger winds aloft to help organize storms and allow them to persist longer. The most likely timing for storms will be after 12 p.m. Monday through early Tuesday morning, although some additional storm chances are likely midday and early afternoon Tuesday as the cold front moves through. Slightly drier and cooler air will move in for the middle part of next week. Another cold front will bring a chance of scattered showers and storms by Thursday. As of now, the 4th of July appears to have a low rain chance, but there is high uncertainty in how the specific weather pattern will set up across our region, so changes to this forecast are likely to occur. 7-day forecast: June 28, 2025 KDKA Weather Center Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!

Cooler weather forecast after UK sees hottest day of the year
Sunday is expected to see 'cooler' and 'fresher' weather after the UK recorded the hottest day of the year, with a provisional high of more than 33C measured in Surrey. On Saturday, provisional temperatures recorded included 33.2C in Charlwood, Surrey, 26.9C in Bute Park in Cardiff and 27.2C in Aviemore in the Highlands. However, Sunday is expected to be a day of 'sunny spells and showers' with highs of around 27C and 28C, Met Office weather forecaster Dan Stroud said. Conditions are expected to feel 'a lot fresher' in the west of the country whilst remaining 'very warm and humid' in the east, he added. 'For the vast majority of the country, the temperature is going to be much, much closer to the mid, late June average. 'As we move our way through Sunday night into Monday, it's going to feel a lot fresher for us all, a lot more comfortable sleeping conditions.' This comes after a yellow warning for thunderstorms, covering parts of south-east Scotland, Yorkshire, the Midlands and Wales was issued by the Met Office from 5pm on Saturday until 3am on Sunday. Up to 40mm of rain could fall in less than two hours, the forecaster said, as it urged those in the warning areas, which includes Manchester, Derbyshire and Newcastle upon Tyne, to consider whether their location is at risk of flash flooding and to prepare accordingly. Overnight on Saturday, 'a lot cooler' and 'a lot fresher' conditions are forecast, with the exception of the east of England, including London and the South East, which could experience a 'tropical night', Mr Stroud said. 'In one or two spots that could potentially be a tropical night, which is where the overnight minimums actually fail to drop below 20 degrees,' he added. 'We haven't had any of those yet.' On Friday night, Somerset came 'very close' to recording a tropical night as temperatures dropped to a minimum of 19.7C, the forecaster said. An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three consecutive days, with thresholds varying from 25C to 28C in different parts of the UK. 'Many places' in England and 'one or two areas' in Wales, including Cardiff, entered a heatwave following Friday's highest temperatures, the Met Office previously said. An amber heat-health alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for the first time since September 2023, for all regions in England remains in place over the weekend. The agency has warned that significant impacts are likely across health and social care services, including an increase in demand, during the alert period. Temperatures reached 32.2C in Kew, west London, on Thursday while Friday saw highs of 30.8C recorded in both England and Wales. Ireland's hottest temperature for almost three years of 29.6C was recorded on Friday in Mount Dillon, Co Roscommon, Irish forecaster Met Eireann said. Pharmacies have advised their patients to store medicines safely as the heat-health alert continues, adding that most medicines kept at room temperature should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and hot areas, the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) said. Warmer temperatures may lead to some medicine losing its effectiveness or unwanted side effects, the NPC added. The hot weather comes as thousands of people watched the sunrise over Stonehenge in Wiltshire to celebrate the summer solstice on Saturday, marking the year's longest day.

UK weather: Up to 40mm of rain could fall in two hours amid thunderstorm warning
A yellow warning is in place for "potentially intense" thunderstorms in large parts of the country - and some places could have up to 40mm of rainfall in less than two hours. The Met Office said there could also be "frequent lightning, large hail and strong winds". The alert lasts until 3am on Sunday and covers parts of North East and North West England, the Midlands, Yorkshire, northeast Wales and the Scottish Borders. The Met Office urged those in the warning areas to consider if their location is at risk of flash flooding and to prepare accordingly. Forecasters have said the heatwave in parts of England and Wales provides "perfect conditions" for thunderstorms. On Saturday, the UK had the hottest day of 2025 so far, with a temperature of 33.2C (91.7F) recorded in Charlwood, Surrey. And thousands of people watched the sunrise over Stonehenge in Wiltshire to celebrate the summer solstice, marking the year's longest day. Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vautrey said "hot and humid air is being dragged up" from parts of continental Europe. "But we also have low pressure out in the Atlantic, and that is driving weather fronts across the UK, providing instability in the air and the perfect conditions to start sparking off some thunderstorms as that hot and humid air rises rapidly," he added. The east of England, including London and the South East, could experience a "tropical night", although most of the country will see "a lot cooler" and "a lot fresher" conditions, Met Office forecaster Dan Stroud said. "In one or two spots, that could potentially be a tropical night, which is where the overnight minimums actually fail to drop below 20 degrees (centigrade)," he added. Sunday will see a day of "sunny spells and showers" with highs of around 27C and 28C, Mr Stroud said. An amber heat-health alert for all regions in England remains in place over the weekend. The alert, issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), has warned that significant impacts are likely during the alert period across health and social care services, including a rise in demand.

Another round of storms develop in New Mexico Tuesday afternoon
Storms are moving out of eastern New Mexico tonight, but another chance for storms returns Tuesday afternoon. Hottest weather so far this year moves in by the weekend. It's been a very active day across parts of New Mexico Monday with showers and storms developing dropping heavy rain and large hail and causing strong winds. These storms are moving out of the state tonight, but a couple strong to severe storms may redevelop in far southeast New Mexico over the next couple of hours. This is where a Severe Thunderstorm Watch continues until 1 AM. Another round of showers and storms will develop in similar areas Tuesday afternoon, but with more storms in southern and southeastern New Mexico. Southeastern parts of the state will also likely see severe weather in the afternoon and evening with large hail, damaging wind gusts, and heavy rainfall possible. There is a high risk of burn scar flash flooding in the Ruidoso area tomorrow afternoon as well. Storms will move out of the state late Tuesday night. A few isolated storms will develop again in the mountains and eastern New Mexico Wednesday afternoon, but it will be much quieter than today or Tuesday. This is as drier air is moving into New Mexico again. Rain chances will continue to dwindle into this weekend, with just a few very spotty rain showers popping up in eastern New Mexico. Our first taste of the monsoon high pressure will set up over New Mexico this weekend. This is a sign our weather pattern is shifting towards the monsoon. However, the high pressure won't bring much in terms of rain, but it will bring our hottest weather so far this year. A stretch of triple-digit heat will begin Friday in southern parts of New Mexico. The Albuquerque Metro may even hit 100° by Sunday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
