After wrecking a swath of Florida, Hurricane Ian popped out over the Atlantic Ocean, gained strength, and is bearing down on the Carolina’s. Though Pittsburgh is quite far inland we will see the remnants of Hurricane Ian’s rain on Saturday.

Pittsburgh will receive less than an inch of precipitation because Ian is tracking south of here. Fortunately this is far different from our experience of Hurricane Agnes 50 years ago.
