Yesterday, rain showers and storms pushed through area with 0.35 inches of rain falling at the Pittsburgh airport. Yesterday's high hit 79 degrees.

For the year, our rain total is +3.27 inches from normal so far. Pittsburgh has seen a yearly rain total of 16.54 inches. If you're wondering how we are stacking up to last year's record-setting year, we'd already seen 24.31 inches of rain last year at this time.

Our next round of rain is expected on Thursday with an all-day event expected to come in. Rain totals could be fairly large once again with a similar setup to what we saw yesterday. A surge of Gulf moisture is moving in from the south, interacting with a late-season cold front.

Right now, model data is showing modest rain totals of around a half inch for Thursday. The rain set-up could bring in some totals much larger than that, so will be watching closely.
