It's going to be another comfortable day in the Pittsburgh area
Any Alert Days Ahead? No.
Aware: High temperatures will soar to near 90 on Wednesday and will be solidly in the 90s on Thursday and Friday. It will be hot & humid, with high humidity levels also in place.
The 'summer break' from the heat continues today with morning lows dipping to the 50s. This is the first time we have seen temperatures below 60° in Pittsburgh this month. The last time we saw temperatures below 60° was the 20th of June. This is notable because our average morning low at this time of the year is 64°. This shows why for many this summer has been a hot and rainy one so far.
Morning low temperatures have a loose relationship with surface moisture and dew points. First off, your air temperature cannot naturally fall below the dew point. This means if the dew point is at 60 degrees, the dew point either has to go down or you won't see temperatures below 60 degrees.
You can also use these high temperatures to come to certain assumptions like that it has been a rainy stretch. While we are ahead of our normal pace at the Pittsburgh Airport, it's not by as much as our morning lows would lead me to believe. One of the issues is that we have seen such scattered storms that the airport has been fairly lucky with the amount of rain they have seen compared to other local places.
Getting back to the forecast, hot weather returns tomorrow (Wednesday) with highs hitting the upper 80s. We won't start off humid but will see dew points in the mid to upper 60s by the afternoon hours. Highs are expected to be solidly in the 90s on both Thursday and Friday. Humidity levels will also be on the high side, so our comfort levels will go down while outside.
Rain chances also return on Friday, but it doesn't look we should expect big totals. Rain chances stick around both Saturday and Sunday.

Severe storms possible in Southeast Michigan Thursday afternoon and evening
Thursday is a NEXT Weather Alert Day due to the extreme heat throughout Southeast Michigan. While temperatures are one part of the equation, high dew points are another. The dew points will reach into the 70s, making it feel "swampy" outside and allowing added energy to fuel storms. Storms are forecasted to reach Southeast Michigan between 3 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday. Some of these storms could be strong to severe. Our greatest threat with these storms will be heavy rainfall in a short period of time followed by strong winds up to 60 mph. Secondary threats will include hail and isolated tornado chances. Showers and storms, along with heat and humidity, will continue into Friday and the weekend, but the risk of severe weather will be diminished. Stay tuned to your CBS News Detroit NEXT Weather Team for the latest information on air, online, or streaming on the CBS News Detroit app and Pluto TV.

Pittsburgh gets a return of hot and humid weather with storms closing out the week
Hot and humid weather is back today. Did you miss it? It's going to be around for a while with highs near 90° through at least Tuesday of next week. So if you want to impress friends and neighbors, here's a handy tip. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos You can get a big tip on just how humid things are going to be by just looking at morning lows. The higher the humidity, the higher the dew point. The temperature can't fall below the dew point. So when we are humid, our morning temperatures are high. When more comfy air moves in, our morning temperatures can drop. So when checking out today's 7-day forecast, you can really see when the humid air will be in place. The other big story is a return of downpours and the risk of flash flooding that is coming our way, and arriving on Friday. Not everyone is going to see big rain totals, but those who do will have a chance for flash flooding. Any storms during the afternoon will bring frequent lightning and some gusty winds. Our severe weather chances right now look marginal at best, but can't be ruled out. When it comes to the forecast, highs today should hit the low 90s in most places. Rain chances should be enough to keep highs in the mid to upper 80s on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, with morning lows in the mid to low 70s due to how humid it will be. Rain chances on each of those days will be isolated to scattered with downpours possible. Monday rain chances look to be in the isolated range, with scattered rain chances back on Tuesday and Wednesday. Temperatures will return to be near or just below average the rest of next week.
