The weather service advises residents to secure loose items and travel carefully with high-profile vehicles.
“Be prepared for the wind,” meteorologist Jason Frazier said. “It will really ramp up in the late morning and early afternoon hours. Now is the time to get things tied down and bring in any loose objects outside to avoid any potential damages.”
Rain showers are expected to begin in the Pittsburgh area between 10 a.m. and noon and end between 2 and 4 p.m. Isolated showers will remain possible outside those hours, the weather service said.
About a quarter-inch of rain is expected with the fast-moving system, with possibly up to a half-inch around Interstate 80, Frazier said.
