PITTSBURGH (AP) — Severe weather in parts of western Pennsylvania prompted flood warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings — and for a time a tornado warning.
The National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings Saturday afternoon for parts of Beaver, Allegheny, Westmoreland, Lawrence, Butler, and Armstrong counties.
Weather officials warned of “wind gusts to 60 mph and quarter-size hail" with damage to trees and power lines expected to result in some power outages.
A tornado warning issued for parts of Jefferson, Washington, Beaver and Allegheny counties expired as the threat diminished, but weather officials warned residents to expect large hail and damaging winds.
