Hello Pittsburgh crew. Usually post in mid-Atlantic forum but visiting the family for the 4th. Storm just passed through Blackhawk. Torrential rains and hail up to 0.5" under the purple returns. From what i can see from lawns, they needed this rain. Wouldnt be surprised if 1.5" fell. Is there an email to send hail reports to NWS Pittsburgh.

I don't know if there's an email, but there's a phone number that you can call. It's in the warning that Meatwad posted just above.

The storm has definetly weakened in my direction. Still no rain after the high winds. Just a few drops and lightning and thunder is now mostly to my northeast and southwest.

They started weakening as soon as they hit the Allegheny County line it seems. I missed out on the storms last night and earlier today. Hopefully, I can at least get some much needed rain out of this one.

Wow. This line did the old transfer deal. Came right to me and split. Looking at radar unless something else happens Ross twp into McCandless and Wexford will remain mostly dry.

Things are calm here now.

No rain. Just a few drops with the wind gusts earlier.

It looks like the weakened line is moving into Bethel Park.

Hopefully you can at least get some rain.

Some locations around the area might have a shot at 100 tomorrow. A lot probably has to go right, or wrong depending on how you look at it. There has to be very little clouds and the humidity can't get too high to keep the temps down for starters. If it's going to be this damn hot anyway, might as well hit 100. The difference between 98 and 100 is very small so might as well hit something we rarely see in this area. At least after tomorrow, we get a break for a few days.

I just drove back from Erie and hit strong storms from on I-79 Grove City down to Rt 422 between 3:30 and 4:00. Some leaves and branches on the road with heavy rain so I am sure the winds were strong. Nothing here in the North Hills 92.8 and dry.

Storm popped up at PNC Park and heading south. I can hear the thunder to my south but the sun is back out and shining brightly.

South Hills should be getting hammered pretty good right now.
