PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Day three of severe weather is expected today.
Strong wind is the main threat throughout the day. There will also be the possibility of heavy downpours again leading to flooding.

Rain showers and storms will likely arrive earlier today than they have over the past couple of days, leading to cooler temps. Highs today will struggle to get out of the low 70s. KDKA Meteorologist Ron Smiley is forecasting a high of just 73 degrees. A couple of rounds of rain, starting as early as 6 a.m., are expected.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected this evening, but look to move out of town by midnight. Any storms packing downpours could initiate another round of flooding.
Additionally overnight, areas of fog are likely, thanks to the heavy rain that we have seen the past few days.
On Wednesday, we saw record rain amounts in Pittsburgh with 1.93 inches.
Any rain chances for Friday are very slim.
This weekend is a bit of a different story. Saturday afternoon a few showers and storms will pop up and these will carry over into Sunday.
Even with these storms, the weekend does not look like a washout. Cooler dry weather returns for the beginning of next week.
