PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Severe weather moved through the area last night and more is on the way today.

According to the National Weather Service, a Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until 11 a.m. for parts of the area.

According to KDKA-TV meteorologist Dennis Bowman, more storms started to move into the area just before 7 a.m.

These storms can produce cloud to ground lighting and heavy rain.

As a reminder, lightning can reach out 10 miles from where it's actually raining. So, if you hear thunder, head indoors.

Bowman said we can expect to see some sun this afternoon after an advancing cold front moves through.

We can also expect wind gusts up to 20-30 MPH this morning.

The good news is that a nice weekend is in store.
