Flash Flood Warning issued June 28 at 7:18PM EDT until June 28 at 8:15PM EDT by NWS Pittsburgh PA
At 718 PM EDT, local law enforcement, doppler radar and gauge reports
indicated thunderstorms produced heavy rain across the warned area.
Between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is
already occurring.
HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.
SOURCE...Law enforcement reported.
IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
drainage and low-lying areas.
Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
Penn Hills, Monroeville, Plum, West Mifflin, Murrysville,
Wilkinsburg, Munhall, North Versailles, Swissvale, White Oak,
Forest Hills, Wilkins Township, Duquesne, Turtle Creek, North

Several roads were flooded across the area. Even though the rain has
ended, runoff from the earlier heavy rainfall could cause additional

Thompson Run, Turtle Creek, and Nine Mile Run.
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
