PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Some heavy rain is rolling through the Pittsburgh area today.

AWARE: A flash flood warning that covered parts of Allegheny and Westmoreland counties is over. Pockets of heavy rain and a stray thunderstorm are possible today, very similar to yesterday. 

We've had some pockets of heavy rain this morning, but also some breaks with sunshine. Some places picked up a quick 0.50-.075 inches of rainfall. 

Highs will be in the low 80s today but much more comfortable with decreasing humidity. There's another marginal risk (a 1 out of 5) for severe weather this afternoon but mainly for areas east of Pittsburgh. 

It's not a First Alert Weather Day. Gusty winds and isolated flooding in low-lying streams and creeks are possible, but these will not be widespread whatsoever. 

Rain lasts through the first part of Friday with highs back in the upper 70s for the afternoon. By Friday night, it's cooler and more comfortable, with partly cloudy skies and lows in the low to mid-60s.

The next chance for rain and possible thunderstorms returns on Monday.
