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.
