Widespread, mostly light rain expected for most of Saturday
Plan for damp and muddy conditions if headed to the US Open on Saturday morning. The rain will be more widespread but, for the most part, pretty light. The steadiest rain will set up from roughly Pittsburgh points north, with a Flood Watch in effect for counties along I-80 until 4 p.m. TRACK THE RAIN WITH OUR INTERACTIVE RADAR There will be some breaks today, but additional showers and scattered thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon and early evening. While rain can't be ruled out anywhere, it appears the highest risk for heavy rain and lightning will be south of Pittsburgh. After a break tonight, additional scattered showers are expected on Sunday. Not everyone will see them, but any rain that does develop will be very slow-moving, which may lead to a localized flood threat. We should see a relative lull in the rainfall on Monday, but more humidity and daily chances for thunderstorms will return for the middle of next week.

Wet weekend expected, washout not likely
The weekend will not be a washout, but it will be wet at times, so plan ahead before heading outdoors and take the rain gear if you're heading to Oakmont. Showers and a rumble of thunder will keep most of the area damp through lunchtime Saturday with a few pockets of moderate rain possible. The steadiest rain will lift north of Pittsburgh through early afternoon leaving some drier hours, but another round of pop-up storms will disrupt your evening. Storms on Saturday evening will be widely scattered and may set up south of Pittsburgh so not everyone will get wet, but any storm that develops could bring pockets of heavy rain. A similar pattern Sunday will keep wet weather around off and on through the day with the heaviest rain focused south of Pittsburgh. Make sure you check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News.

Postal employees awarded for saving woman who was being attacked by dog in Mount Oliver
Two postal service employees are being awarded for stepping up to help a woman they heard crying out for help as she was attacked by a dog. 74-year-old Janice Taylor is still dealing with the aftermath of a dog attack this past March in Mt. Oliver. 'I'm still going through hand surgery, rehab, therapy, hand therapy… trying to make my hand fold and go back the way it was," Taylor said. She still has bite marks on her arm, an injury to her face, and can't fully move her fingers. But her injuries could have been much worse — if it weren't for the two mail carriers who heard her screaming. Tony Kriley and Jamie Stevens were on their route, saw the attack happening, and then began spraying the dog with deterrent. Both mail carriers received the Postmaster General Hero Award for saving Taylor. During the award ceremony, dog trainers gave a demonstration of what to do during a dog attack. Taylor is forever grateful to her mail carriers for stepping in to save her life. 'I'm so glad the post officers were there, and that they saved me. I was having a hard time and I didn't think I would be here,' Taylor said. Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts. Follow Channel 11 News on Facebook and Twitter. | Watch WPXI NOW

Watching them navigate that is pretty impressive,' said Rowdy Smith from St. Louis. 'I'm originally from California, so there are a lot of beautiful courses out there. This is impressive,' said Raman Kadeveri from Las Vegas. This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
