Jun. 14—Another round of severe weather is possible Monday afternoon and evening following damaging storms that moved through the region Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop and move through the area from north to south between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., meteorologist Bill Modzelewski said.
A few areas could see damaging wind gusts and large hail, he said.
Wind damage, large hail and localized flash flooding were seen with storms on Sunday.
Winds of 60-70 mph were recorded, and quarter-size hail was reported, Modzelewski said.
The Schenley Park Pool, which was scheduled to open Monday, was damaged by a mudslide caused by the storms, the city's Department of Parks and Recreation said. The pool will be closed until the damage can be repaired.
