  • Tornadoes, crashes, housing costs, and Memorial Day plans - your Pittsburgh Local Pulse update.
    2025/05/23
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Friday, May 23rd, 2025.

    We wake up today following a week of wild weather. Two tornadoes touched down in Butler County during Wednesday's storms, leaving many of us cleaning up debris and checking on neighbors. As we look ahead, expect another round of heavy rain and possible thunderstorms later today. If you are headed out, keep an eye on the sky and watch for any flash flood warnings. The storms may impact outdoor Memorial Day plans, especially along the rivers and at the parks.

    Breaking overnight, a crash involving a limousine and a pickup truck in Darlington Township sent eight people to local hospitals. Traffic delays continue along Parkway West following another early morning accident. Authorities urge us to drive cautiously, as wet roads and storm debris are still an issue for many commutes.

    At City Hall, council this week shined a spotlight on housing affordability. Officials warn that Pittsburgh, while still more affordable than many cities, is seeing accelerated home price increases. Council members are calling for more incentives to keep housing within reach and are reviewing budget cuts that could impact street paving and services. On a positive note, the city declared this week as National Public Works Week, recognizing the crews who keep our roads, sanitation, and city services strong.

    In business news, Sheetz, with a major presence in western Pennsylvania, has just been named one of America’s most innovative companies by Fortune. Meanwhile, at Pittsburgh International Airport, the new terminal project is now ninety percent finished, promising a big upgrade for travelers by the end of 2027.

    Our real estate market continues to move quickly. While Pittsburgh homes remain more attainable than many national averages, realtors report that homes are selling faster and for higher prices than last year, putting pressure on first-time buyers.

    If you are looking for work, the local job market remains tight, but there are signs of hope: new listings are up in hospitality and tech, and several local manufacturers are seeking skilled trades. Keep an eye on career expos at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center this weekend.

    Memorial Day weekend is packed with events. The annual Pittsburgh Home & Garden Show is in full swing at the Convention Center, and Kennywood’s Steel Curtain roller coaster is back in action just in time for the holiday. You can also catch local bands at Market Square, or head to community parades in Squirrel Hill and Mount Washington.

    Sports fans, it has been a mixed week. The Pirates dropped a tough rain-delayed game to the Brewers, but young ace Paul Skenes is drawing national attention for his pitching skill, and management says he’s not for sale. In local high school news, congratulations to the Allderdice Dragons soccer team, who swept their section finals Thursday night.

    On the safety front, the Allegheny County Health Department is alerting residents after a local was linked to a multi-state salmonella outbreak. Stay vigilant, especially when preparing food for gatherings this weekend. Police report several arrests after a car theft ring was disrupted outside East McKeesport, and officers remind us to double check our vehicles are locked.

    To end on a high note, this month, as part of Jewish American Heritage Month and the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, local organizations are honoring the legacy of survivors in our region. The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is sharing stories from those who rebuilt their lives here, reminding us of the power of resilience in our own community.

    This has been Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

  • "Tornado Watch, Mayoral Upset, and Community Resilience: Your Pittsburgh Local Pulse Update"
    2025/05/22
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Thursday, May 22, 2025.

    Pittsburgh is under a Tornado Watch today until 8 PM, with the National Weather Service warning residents across Allegheny and seven other Pennsylvania counties to stay alert. We're seeing a midday break in the storm activity, but additional heavy rain and severe storms are expected this afternoon. A Flash Flood Warning has also been issued for some counties, so be prepared if you're commuting today.

    At City Hall, the political landscape has dramatically shifted as Corey O'Connor has unseated Mayor Ed Gainey in Tuesday's primary election. O'Connor, the 40-year-old son of a former mayor, becomes just the second challenger to defeat a Pittsburgh mayor running for reelection in nearly a century. O'Connor campaigned on promises to build more affordable housing, add officers to the police force, and stabilize city finances.

    In sports news, Pittsburgh Pirates fans received disappointing news yesterday as right-handed pitcher Jared Jones underwent elbow surgery and will not return for the remainder of the 2025 season. This is a significant blow to the Pirates' rotation.

    The NFL world is mourning the loss of Jim Irsay, owner and CEO of the Indianapolis Colts, who died Wednesday at age 65.

    On the weather front, we're experiencing severe conditions today with that tornado watch in effect. If you're in Pittsburgh, Greensburg, Uniontown or surrounding areas, stay weather-aware and have an emergency plan ready.

    In community news, New Florence residents have voted to approve alcohol sales in the borough, marking a significant change for local businesses. Meanwhile, many residents are still cleaning up from last month's destructive windstorm that knocked out power for hundreds of thousands.

    A bright spot in our community comes from Beaver, where a local teen is defying odds after a terminal cancer diagnosis six years ago. The student is crossing the graduation stage this week, an inspiring story of perseverance.

    In health news, a local school is reporting positive COVID cases among first, second, and fifth-grade students.

    Looking ahead to community events, the City of Pittsburgh recently announced its 2025 Summer Concerts Series presented by Citizens, with performances beginning soon.

  • Pittsburgh Primary Day: Mayoral Race, Hollywood in Bedford, Mosquito Control, and Election Results
    2025/05/20
    Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

    It's Primary Election Day in Pittsburgh, and polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. across the city. Today, voters are deciding on candidates for mayor in what observers are calling the hottest contested mayoral race in recent memory. On the Democratic side, incumbent Mayor Ed Gainey is facing challenger while Republicans Thomas West and Tony Moreno vie for their party's nomination. Remember, anyone in line by 8 p.m. will still be able to cast their vote. Mail-in ballots must be received by county election offices by 8 p.m. today.

    Bedford Square on the South Side has been transformed into a movie set, bringing some Hollywood excitement to our streets. Details are still emerging about which production is filming there.

    In sports, the Pirates suffered a 7-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, who secured their fifth consecutive victory. Austin Hays led the Reds with three hits and two RBIs.

    The Allegheny County Health Department has begun treating stormwater catch basins across several boroughs as part of their seasonal mosquito control efforts.

    We're seeing a cloudy morning across Pittsburgh, but forecasters suggest we'll see warmer conditions as we move into the weekend after some rain later this week.

    In public safety news, police are investigating an incident where a carjacking victim reportedly fired two shots at a suspect. And in Rankin, a woman is in critical condition after being shot while getting out of her car.

    City Council recently reviewed a referendum question for today's ballot regarding non-discrimination in city business. Special Election Question #1 asks voters whether the Pittsburgh Home Rule Charter should be amended to prohibit discrimination in conducting city business.

    The Pittsburgh Home & Garden Show continues at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, having kicked off earlier this month.

    For families in Fox Chapel, in-person classes resume today even though some residents are still without power following recent storms.

    In healthcare news, nurses rallied as a bill to prevent healthcare violence advances through the legislature, showing our community's commitment to protecting healthcare workers.

    Looking ahead, voters should keep an eye on election results, which will begin to show after polls close at 8 p.m. tonight. The results will determine who moves forward to the November general election in races for Pittsburgh mayor, key court seats, and more.
