Another round of severe weather is possible Monday, as crews continue to work to restore power to customers impacted by last week’s storms.
The National Weather Service’s Moon office warned of severe thunderstorms throughout the region Monday between 2 and 10 p.m. Damaging wind and large hail would pose the main threats, the NWS said, and flooding could be possible.
The service rates the storms as a marginal risk, meaning there’s lower confidence in them occurring.
This comes after a massive storm last week left three people dead, thousands without power and crews scrambling to respond to felled trees, downed power lines and damaged buildings.
Though more than 400,000 people lost power, most have since seen electricity restored.
As of around 5:30 a.m. Monday morning, Duquesne Light reported around 21,400 customers still without power, mostly in Allegheny County.
The utility company said Sunday that all customers should have their power restored by 11 p.m. Tuesday, although many will see results quicker. Customers in Beaver County and the Allegheny County communities of Baldwin Borough, Clairton, Duquesne, Homestead, Jefferson Hills, McKeesport, Munhall, North Versailles, Pleasant Hills, West Homestead and West Mifflin should be restored by 12:30 p.m. Monday.
As of 5:30 a.m. Monday, First Energy reported fewer than 1,300 customers still in the dark.
Monday started dry but foggy, TribLive news partner WTAE reported, with showers passing through the area later in the day. Most of the rain will likely come north and east of Pittsburgh.
WTAE predicted even less rain Tuesday, with the weather turning warm and dry for Mother’s Day weekend.
