Pittsburgh Weather: Tornado warnings expire
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Multiple tornado warnings were issued Monday evening but have since expired.
The warnings covered parts of Washington, Fayette and Greene counties but are no longer active. One video from a KDKA-TV viewer appears to show a rotating funnel cloud in Fayette County.

KDKA-TV's Jennifer Borrrasso went to Center Township, Greene County and saw damage from the storms. A family's camper was flipped onto its side after the severe weather rolled through. No one was inside the camper or hurt.
Thousands of customers in the county were also without power at points during the night.
West Penn Power tells me about 1,000 customers in Greene Co. are without power after strong winds and heavy rain rolled through. We saw several downed trees like this one on Scott Run Road in Center Twp. @KDKA pic.twitter.com/mTQP7HGB8d

Once the severe weather passes, comfy, dry weather prevails Tuesday before the heat ramps up on Wednesday and Thursday. The heat will be short-lived as more storms and a front cool us back down a bit for Friday.
