Tropical-like downpours possible during repeat rounds of rain

PITTSBURGH — Localized flooding will be a concern again today with repeated rounds of showers and storms expected.

With near record levels of moisture available, any storm that develops this afternoon could produce tropical-like downpours. The heaviest rain is likely to develop after 3 p.m. and wrap up sometime this evening. Pockets of 1 to 2 inches of additional rain are expected.

A couple of strong storms are possible, too, with the main threat being strong wind gusts, although an isolated tornado can’t be ruled out.

Spotty off-and-on showers are expected Monday, although additional rainfall amounts should be light. Humidity levels will drop throughout the day with sunshine and much more comfortable weather back Tuesday.

We’ll see another round of showers Wednesday afternoon into Thursday, although dry and less humid air looks to return Friday.
