CBS New York

A beautiful weekend is transitioning to rain, with Pittsburgh experiencing the worst of it.

The rain is expected to weaken as it moves in, with models predicting between a quarter to three-quarters of an inch.

By morning and lunchtime, the area will see minimal rainfall, with the exception of a few spots.

The day starts off nice, but light rain is expected as a front pushes through.

The satellite imagery shows cloud cover associated with the front, bringing cooler air.

By lunchtime tomorrow, the rain is expected to clear up, with Milton in the Gulf posing a potential issue.

Potential Impact of Upcoming Storm in Florida

A storm is forming a track similar to Hurricane Sandy, staying over the warm Gulf waters and gaining strength.

If it follows a path north of Tampa Bay, the area could experience its worst storm surge ever.

Meanwhile, temperatures in the region are expected to be in the 60s and 70s tomorrow.
