Rain at last!
During yesterday’s 24-hour period 1.63 inches of rain fell in Pittsburgh. This was 66% of September’s normal month-to-date rainfall all at once.
The forecast looks good, too. Thunderstorms (likelihood in red ) and more rain (likelihood in green) are predicted in the next couple of days.
Does this break the drought? The National Weather Service says:
This week, PGH is making up for the lull in precip so far this September. 1.63" was observed in Pittsburgh yesterday. Using our latest forecast , it would take PGH from being the 13th driest (month to date on Sun) to 15th wettest (month to date this Fri) -155yr period of record pic.twitter.com/TpX24voUqF
