Comfortable weather has returned to the Pittsburgh area
Any Alert Days Ahead? No
Aware: With temperatures dipping below 64°, this morning is the coldest morning of the month so far in Pittsburgh. Tuesday morning will be the coolest morning of the month.
You can keep the umbrella at home as we are going to get a nicely deserved break from the rain starting now and continuing through Thursday. Our next rain chance comes on Friday, with low rain chances sticking around for the weekend. Monthly rain stats are a little misleading as we have seen our share of scattered daily storms. Often times we haven't seen any rain at the airport, but we have seen flash flood warnings being issued in other parts of our area.
So far this month, the NWS Pittsburgh office has issued 20 flash flood warnings. 76 were issued last month & 15 in May. When it comes to just flash flood warnings being issued, this is the most since 2003. Of note, August of 2003 saw 108 flash flood warnings. That's the most of any month ever on record for the Pittsburgh area.
Not only is it looking dry, but the weather will be comfy through at least Wednesday morning. I have highs hitting the low 80s today and Tuesday. Temperatures will be the coolest at any time this month today. That won't last for long with temperatures expected to dip even lower on Tuesday morning. I have Pittsburgh dipping down to the mid-50s. The average low this time of the year is 64°, so we will finally dip to below average for a morning or two. Lunchtime temps should be in the upper 70s. Winds will be light and out of the north. Dew points will dip into the 50s by this afternoon.
Looking ahead, highs on Tuesday should remain in the mid to low 80s with low humidity levels. Wednesday will be a split day with humidity levels low to start the day and then shooting up. Wednesday highs should hit the upper 80s. The hottest days of the week will be on Thursday and Friday with highs hitting the low 90s.
Thursday looks dry right now, with rain chances around on Friday and maybe even arriving on Thursday night.

After humid, rainy day, family celebrating in New Jersey park is rewarded with a rainbow
The hot weather and even some rain didn't stop many from enjoying their Sunday night around the Philadelphia area. Under puffy white clouds, casting a line, taking a walk or even hosting a barbecue seemed like the perfect way to spend Sunday afternoon in Cooper River Park in Pennsauken, New Jersey. "We're sending off my grandson to DelVal University," Inez Nock said. "We're so proud of him. We have family and friends that came out." Nock's party eventually had to move under cover after rain started to fall in the park. "The weather didn't want to agree with us, but we're still here," Nock said. As the rain kept on coming, so too did the waterworks of a different kind — tears from a very proud grandma. Finally, there came a break in the clouds and a rainbow spanning the sky. "That's a blessing from God," Nock said. "He is going to watch over him for four years on his new journey of life." After the rain cleared out, many also ventured to Kelly Drive in Philadelphia to get in a workout as the sun was setting. Megan Feick is already thinking ahead to the hot weather on tap for this week and planning how to beat the heat. "Stay cool, everybody, stay hydrated. And you p robably won't see me out here very much," she said. As for George Gordon, who was out for a bike ride, he's taking it all one day at a time, grateful for the present. "I think we always need to appreciate every day that we wake up, air in our in our lungs and strength in our bodies," Gordon said.

Monday will be hot, humid in Philadelphia region amid another heat wave. Here's the weather forecast.
Get ready for another heat wave! In fact, the high temperature of 91 degrees at the Philadelphia International Airport Sunday afternoon kicked off the fifth heat wave of the summer as temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-upper 90s through Wednesday afternoon. In addition to the heat and humidity on Sunday, the scattered showers and thunderstorms eventually cleared out to give way to mostly clear skies to start things off Monday morning. Temperatures will begin in the mid-70s across the region before warming into the low-middle 90s Monday afternoon. Just like on Sunday, the humidity on Monday afternoon will make it feel much warmer with feels-like temperatures soaring to near 100 degrees. While it will be unseasonably hot, it won't quite reach record territory with Monday's record high at 100 degrees. By Tuesday, the heat turns up even more with high temperatures across the region likely in the mid-upper 90s. The forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday in Philadelphia is for a high of 98 degrees, which would tie the record for both days. But what will it feel like? Along with the increasing temperatures, the humidity will also be on the rise, which will make it feel like anywhere between 100-105 degrees. When temperatures climb this high, it can be dangerous for anyone without adequate ways to stay cool and hydrated. As a result, the NEXT Weather Team has issued a NEXT Weather Alert for Tuesday and Wednesday to keep you aware of this dangerous heat. By Thursday, showers and storms will develop ahead of an approaching cold front that will put an end to this heat wave and usher in much cooler air by Friday. Friday is the start of August, and the start of an extended cooler stretch of air bringing relief from the heat through the first week of August. Highs Friday and into the weekend will be in the upper 70s to low 80s. Monday: Heat turns up. High 95, Low 74. Tuesday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 98, Low 75. Wednesday: NEXT Weather Alert for heat. High 98, Low 77. Thursday: Storms end the heat. High 83, Low 77. Friday: Much cooler. High 79, Low 67. Saturday: Partly cloudy. High 81, Low 64. Sunday: Sunny skies. High 83, Low 62. NEXT Weather Radars Hourly Forecast
