Terry Mcnavage didn’t let a few raindrops keep him from hitting the pavement for a run along Kummer Road near the Horse Show Ring in North Park on Tuesday.

The Shaler man said he tries to run every day and doesn’t let the weather stand in his way.

So when sprinkles turned to torrential downpours that ponded on the roadway and sopped the soil, he just kept on going.

A meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Moon Township said about 2.5 inches of rain fell between 2 and 5 p.m. as the remnants of Hurricane Ida arrived in Western Pennsylvania.

The weather service expected an additional 2 inches or more of rain would fall by Wednesday across much of the Pittsburgh region.
