Storms, Smoke & What To Do This Week
Pittsburgh's weather has been on a tear. After days of wildfire smoke, forecasters are warning that severe storms could bring damaging winds, hail, flash flooding, and even tornadoes. Host Megan Harris is joined by executive producer Mallory Falk and interim producer Laura Tsutsui to talk about what to expect, why 2026 has been such an active year for severe weather, and the safety reminders every Pittsburgher should know. Plus, we play another round of Two Truths & a Lie, catch up on a few local headlines Megan missed while she was away, and share the best events happening around town this week once the skies clear.
