Showers possible Monday afternoon, cloudy start ahead of solar eclipse

PITTSBURGH — Increasing clouds will bring a few isolated showers early Monday, but steady rain is not expected. A stray shower could linger through early afternoon, especially east of Pittsburgh.  The big question is whether the clouds will clear out in time for us to get a good look at the partial solar eclipse. Right now, the forecast does not look too promising, but if the system moves through a little faster, we may see a few breaks in the clouds just in time.

A warm and wet weather pattern moves in through the rest of the week with periods of rain off and on through Friday. Steady rain Thursday could bring gusty winds and localized flood problems east of Pittsburgh.
