Scattered rain with embedded downpours and thunder will work from north to south Wednesday.
Areas south of Allegheny County will likely get the brunt of the heavy rain. We will have to watch for flooding in poor drainage areas. We will be able to lift the Impact Day after 3 p.m. A break from the activity weather will extend into Thursday.

The gusty winds will headline Friday’s Impact Day.
A potent cold front sweeps through the Pittsburgh area, prompting our next Impact Day on Friday. More showers are expected, especially through the early afternoon. Gusty winds will be more problematic with gusts of 35 to 45 mph. You may want to consider tying down your fall and Halloween decorations.

The strongest gusts will be felt through the Laurel Highlands. A Wind Advisory is possible.
The growing season likely ends this weekend
Temperatures plummet behind Friday’s cold front. Many of us will likely stay in the 40s through the day on Saturday. The cold settles in Sunday morning as we wake up in the middle 30s to prompt widespread frost concerns. It is possible the first freeze of the year shows up in the Laurel Highlands and sheltered valleys.
