Further southwest, there's a "Slight Risk" for severe weather, which is a 2 out of 5, meaning an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

Power outages are also possible with damaging wind gusts near 60 mph and even quarter-sized hail.

It's going to be a wet and windy Pittsburgh Marathon with the chance of lightning, so plan accordingly.
