Meteorologists are watching a storm system that could bring damaging winds, large hail and more than 2 inches of rain to the Upper St. Clair area on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service reported to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that it is too soon to predict how the storm is going to affect the Pittsburgh area, but there's a chance for 60- to 70-mph wind gusts and possible flooding problems.
The thunderstorms and showers are likely for Upper St. Clair after 3 p.m.
