PITTSBURGH — An overnight round of showers and possible storms will bring brief downpours and the threat of small hail.

Additional rainfall could trigger ice jams and localized flooding, and a Flood Watch is in effect through Friday afternoon.

Morning showers will gradually taper off on Friday with another chance for scattered showers Friday afternoon with a cold front. Gusty winds to 40mph are possible, followed by a drop in temperature into the 30s on Friday night.

Quiet weather is expected for the front half of the weekend with seasonable temperatures. A storm will gather strength Sunday but the greatest impacts are expected to be south and east of our area, closer to the coast. However, an enhanced period of snow is possible for the ridges that could result in locally higher amounts into Sunday night.

It will be seasonably cold early next week with highs in the low 30s and lows in the 20s. Some moderation is expected closer to the end of the week but more cold air could be coming in early March!
