The weekend is actually looking pretty good when it comes to having outdoor plans. Yes, there's going to be a chance for rain each day, but no day will be a washout. Please don't cancel any outdoor activities due to potential rain, as things are setting up to mostly be dry when you probably need it to be dry.
Today's rain 'window' is probably the largest of the weekend, with rain showers rolling through as soon as 10 this morning. Isolated storms will also be possible after 3 this afternoon. The further south you are, the higher the chance for rain, with places north of Pittsburgh seeing only the tiniest of rain chances. Everyone south of I-70 should see some rain today, with the best chance for rain, including a brief downpour, happening late this afternoon.
Humidity levels have come down, though, so I don't expect we will see anything like we saw over the past couple of weeks, with flash flooding being fairly common. If outside, you'll also notice the dip in humidity today. I have Pittsburgh barely getting back to the 80s today, and there is a chance the city doesn't hit the 80-degree mark.
Skies will be cloudy to mostly cloudy today with light winds coming in out of the south.
Saturday is looking dry for most of the day, with the best chance for rain coming after sunset. Saturday highs should hit the mid-80s with partly cloudy skies. Saturday morning should feel fantastic with lows dipping into the 60s for the second morning in a row. Sunday will likely see our best chance for rain before sunrise, with a cluster of storms expected to rumble through.
Storm chances should linger into the afternoon on Sunday as we await a cool front sliding through. Sunday highs should be in the low 80s. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are all looking dry to me.
Monday is looking pleasant with low humidity levels and highs in the low 80s. We will start to warm up on Tuesday (highs in the mid-80s) and Wednesday (highs in the upper 80s). Rain and storm chances return on Thursday and Friday next week, with temperatures continuing to warm up, too.
I have Thursday's high temperature hitting 90°.

What's the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? How to know when to call 911
Triple-digit "feels-like" temperatures across South Florida triggered the first heat advisory of the season on Friday. The National Weather Service issued the advisory because the heat index was 105 for at least two hours. While it has felt hot for weeks, the heat index has not met the threshold, unlike last year when there were more than a dozen by mid-July. The excessive"feels-like" heat can threaten heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Heat exhaustion symptoms include fainting or dizziness, excessive sweating, cool, pale, or clammy skin, a rapid, weak pulse, and muscle cramps. If you're experiencing these symptoms, you need to move into air conditioning, drink water, take a cool shower, or apply a cold compress. Heat stroke is much more serious and requires calling 911. If you're suffering a heat stroke, you'll experience a throbbing headache, you'll stop sweating, your skin will be red hot and dry, your pulse will be rapid, and you may lose consciousness. Emergency officials remind you to stay hydrated, limit your outdoor afternoon activities, and wear light-color, light-weight clothing. While we may not see another heat advisory this weekend, the real temperatures and heat index will be excessive.

Toronto's average temperature rising fastest among Major League Baseball cities
A recent study has found that Toronto's average temperature has risen the most among all Major League Baseball cities during the season over the past 40 years. Toronto's average temperature has gone up 3 degrees Celsius when the Blue Jays are in season. The Blue Jays were atop the analysis done by United States-based science non-profit Climate Central. The Arizona Diamondbacks, based in Phoenix, were second on the list with a 2.8 C rise. The average temperatures across all of MLB's cities have gone up about 1.7 degrees since 1970, according to the study. The Blue Jays open a six-game homestand tonight when they welcome the San Francisco Giants. Climate Central says Earth is already at 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming due to climate change and burning fossil fuels. Canada is warming at a rate twice the global mean average, according to Environment and Climate Change Canada. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 18, 2025.

Kissena Park users say many of the drinking fountains, restrooms and more are out of service
For the bocce enthusiasts who gather daily at Kissena Park, surface conditions have long been an obstacle. "The court is very bad," Rafael Shalom said. Players say court maintenance depends on running water, but for years, the spigots have run dry. "This is a regional park in downtown Flushing, the park is filled on weekends, and there's no water," arborist and park steward Carsten Glaeser said. He estimates one-third of the park is without functioning drinking fountains, sprinklers, or restrooms, causing concern as temperatures climb. "I get aggravated, and so does everyone else that comes here," park regular Julio Mora said. The Department of Parks and Recreation told CBS News New York the outage can be traced to two broken water service lines. The agency says it is seeking $25 million in capital funding for repairs. Advocates say New York City parks are chronically underfunded, receiving about half a percent of the city's overall budget. But some residents worry other parks are getting priority. "There's always some parks capital going on somewhere," Glaeser said. "But we don't see anything here." In a statement, Councilmember Sandra Ung told CBS News New York that her office has allocated $12 million for Kissena Park improvements, writing in part: "I remain committed to working with my colleagues in government to secure the necessary funding and push this project forward so that families in my district can once again enjoy all that Kissena Park has to offer." New legislation passed by the City Council requires city parks to install at least 50 new outdoor drinking fountains by 2035. Kissena Park regulars hope their park will be first in line.
