Late Summer To Early Fall Outlook: Where Summer Lingers With Above Average Temperatures And Where Fall Is Near

Late Summer To Early Fall Outlook: Where Summer Lingers With Above Average Temperatures And Where Fall Is Near

Yahoo15-07-2025
We're smack dab in the dog-days of summer and the month most of the country experiences their hottest day of the year, July. But fall is just around the corner, and the latest three month outlook from The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2 includes the start to a new season.
But where is fall on the way? And where is summer set to hang on a little longer?
-Bullseye For The Northern Rockies: You might not be surprised to hear that the majority of the country is expected to be warmer than average, but it's going to be a bit extra toasty from August through October in the Northern Rockies. But you're not alone, because essentially the rest of the Northern Tier and much of the Southwest are right there with you, though temperatures are going to be slightly closer to average.

-Cooler, But Still Warm: The parts of the country that may find it easiest to brag about their three-month outlook is the West Coast and a swath from the South into the mid-Atlantic. Temperatures are leaning above average, but temperatures a little above average are still better than temperatures way above average.
-Ah, There's The Relief: Then there's the Gulf Coast and parts of the Southeast, where it's going to be a little cooler than average for the three-month span from August through October.
But there's a caveat there.

-Cool But Damp: Much of that region that's going to be cooler than average is also going to be wetter than average. The cooler temperatures reflect that rainy forecast as we enter the peak of hurricane season over the next three months.
-Dry Summer And Fall: The majority of the rest of the country is going to be drier than usual for the end of summer and beginning of fall, but there's another damp spot up in the Pacific Northwest.

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.

Where corn sweat exacerbated heat, and where sultry conditions will spread

Sultry air over the central United States — fueled by a heat dome, corn sweat and tropical winds from a warmer-than-average Atlantic Ocean temperatures — will spread eastward in the days ahead, bringing record temperatures to parts of the U.S. Over the last several days, dew points, a direct measure of humidity, were just a few degrees short of national records in the Corn Belt. The combination of heat and humidity exacerbated by corn fields caused heat index values to surge to 128 degrees in southern Missouri, 117 degrees in western Kentucky and 116 degrees in central Iowa so far this week. Now, that heat will spread into further states.

CWG Live updates: Hot today and sweltering Friday; weekend storm chances rise

Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: The morning is pleasant with temperatures climbing through the 70s. Afternoon highs in the mid-80s to low 90s work up a sweat. What's next? The heat plaguing the South reaches our area Friday with highs well into the 90s for most. Weekend highs are only incrementally less hot with scattered storms possible each afternoon and evening. Today's daily digit — 5/10: Heat and humidity are on the rise under sunny skies. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Thursday): Temperatures rise steadily under sunny skies. The pop-up clouds are not rain producers but offer occasional shade as highs creep up to the mid-80s to lower 90s. Moderately high humidity (dew points in the upper 60s) is more noticeable than previous days but could be worse. The light breeze from the south is welcome. Confidence: High Tonight: The evening is still warm with 80s not giving way until dark. Skies remain mostly clear with lows in the upper 60s to mid-70s. Confidence: High Tomorrow (Friday): Heat peaks under sunny skies with highs mainly in the mid- to upper 90s with a possible 100-degree reading or two in hot spots. A lack of breeze and dew points creeping into the lower 70s add to the misery, with peak heat indexes of 100 to 105. A dying cool front to the north only offers a slight chance of an isolated late-day storm. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: The heat hangs on through the evening, but lows do eventually range through the 70s. Any storms should remain isolated. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Saturday and Sunday hold more potential to set off afternoon and evening storms with locally heavy downpours possible. Highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s feel about 4 to 8 degrees warmer given the return of high humidity. Overnight readings slip into the 70s. Confidence: Medium Sunshine is a bit more abundant on Monday and Tuesday, and showers and storms are generally isolated in nature. This allows highs to creep back into the low to mid-90s with upper 90s in the hotter spots. Enough humidity lingers to make it feel like the upper 90s to lower 100s. Confidence: Medium Not to get hopes up too much, but the latter half of next week has fairly good model support for a more notable cooldown. Fingers crossed!
