Forecast: Cool, breezy start, then heat
A disturbance passing across Minnesota on Monday will keep the north and northeast in scattered shower chances throughout the day. Expect cool and breezy conditions, and some haze aloft due to Canadian wildfire smoke.
Note that along with increasing temperatures will come increasing dewpoints and muggy conditions, setting us up for storm chances in parts of the state Thursday through Saturday.
At this point, Thursday's rain chance looks best north of Highway 30. Friday and Saturday's rainfall looks to come in the form of isolated storms. The European computer model below places most of the accumulation by Saturday evening north of Highway 20.
Highs for the next six days are above, and your WHO 13 7-day forecasts below:
As was the case Saturday, the extended forecasts keep us warmer than average and in the neighborhood of average for precipitation. The final image shows the possibility of severe weather, in particular sometime between June 17th and 19th.

Scattered to numerous storms expected today for the Pittsburgh area
It's going to be another day with scattered to numerous storms expected today across the Pittsburgh area. First Alert: None Yesterday was our 10th 90-degree day of the year as temperatures managed to briefly spike up in between waves of thunderstorms during the early afternoon. This morning begins much like the last several across our area with temperatures struggling to drop below 70-degrees amid very humid conditions. As expected, these storms produced very heavy rain in spots with localized swaths of 2-3"+ although a majority of folks did not receive this. There were multiple reports of flash flooding in Central to Southern Washington county. A stationary front is gradually dissolving over the region with additional waves of energy aloft in the atmosphere pivoting in from the northwest. This will support a continued opportunity for rain and thunderstorms through early evening. Atmospheric moisture levels remain unusually high across our area, so any of these cells will be able to produce heavy rainfall rates in a short amount of time. As a matter of fact, there is a good chance that when the morning weather balloon is launched, we will likely break a record for the amount of moisture in the air. The peak of t-storm coverage won't occur until midday through early afternoon. Once the trough passes to our southeast, expect storms to shift south of I-70 by 6-7pm and exit our area for the most part between sunset and midnight. With high relative humidity, clearing skies, and light winds, much of the area should see dense Monday morning. This fog will begin to mix out by midday to early afternoon with partly cloudy skies and hot conditions. Air temperatures Monday through Wednesday will likely reach 90 degrees with heat indices in the mid to upper 90s. As far as storm chances go, these will highly depend on when spokes of lift from disturbances called shortwaves pivot into the area. The core of the heat ridge will be centered across the Midwest and Mississippi River Valley Monday-Wednesday. A weak shortwave will move into the area late Monday evening. This may trigger a stray to isolated storm chance Monday evening in our westernmost counties. Another wave may move in on Tuesday evening with strong storms more likely into portions of Central OH, but if these survive the trip, we may take part in that activity as well. The day most likely to see storms this week will be between Wednesday evening into midday Thursday as a stronger cold front moves through. Some storms could briefly turn severe Wednesday afternoon with remnant showers on Thursday. Substantially drier air and slightly below normal temperatures are expected to end the week.

Denied federal flood relief, a Maryland town is left on its own
WESTERNPORT, Md. — As water rushed down Church Street, Theresa Boal hurried to save the antique furniture and knickknacks inside the funeral home her family has owned and operated in Allegany County, Maryland, for more than a century. A downpour had caused Georges Creek, which runs through the middle of town, to surge and flood the streets of Westernport in an hour.

CWG Live updates: Hot today with strong storms possible; more heat through midweek
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: A steamy Sunday with the heat index reaching 100 to 105 and a better chance of more numerous thunderstorms midafternoon into evening. Some could produce damaging winds and isolated flooding. What's next? High heat continues through midweek, especially Tuesday and Wednesday when heat index values could reach 105 to 110, but storm chances are lower. Trending cooler and maybe more stormy again late week. Today's daily digit — 3/10: A hard forecast to love with increased thunderstorm activity and uncomfortable heat. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Sunday): Partly sunny, hot and very humid as afternoon highs hit the upper 80s (north) to mid-90s (south) and heat index values reach 100 to 105. Showers and thunderstorms have a shot to be more numerous today, with the best chance of scattered storms after 2 p.m. into the evening. Some storms could produce damaging winds and isolated flooding. Be prepared to move indoors quickly, if needed. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: A few strong to severe storms remain possible until around 8 or 9 p.m. Partly to mostly cloudy overnight with lows in the mid- to upper 70s. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow (Monday): A frontal boundary sinks south on Monday, which clears us out and sunny skies return. The heat and humidity continue with highs in the low to mid-90s and heat indexes up to near or just above 100. Confidence: Medium Tomorrow night: The overnight feels stagnant with lows in the mid- to upper 70s and partly cloudy skies. Confidence: Low-Medium A look ahead Sultry heat continues Tuesday and Wednesday with plenty of sun, highs in the mid-90s to near 100, and heat index values reaching 100 to 110. Shower and storm chances seem fairly low, maybe a better chance of one by Wednesday evening. Tuesday night and Wednesday night lows in the muggy 70s.

The timing of the front is still a bit uncertain, but as of now it looks like somewhat cooler highs in the upper 80s to near 90 on Thursday, and perhaps only the low to mid-80s on Friday. But as temperatures decrease, shower and storm chances trend higher again.

But as temperatures decrease, shower and storm chances trend higher again. Confidence: Low-Medium Because of the likelihood of heat indexes reaching at least 105 degrees, the National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for D.C. and its southern suburbs on Sunday. The advisory, which does not include Montgomery and Loudoun counties, as well as areas to the north, is in effect from noon to 8 p.m. 'Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,' the Weather Service says. It's the third straight day with a heat advisory in D.C.'s far southern suburbs because of a punishing combination of heat and humidity that began Friday. Sometimes in a meteorologically memorable Washington summer, such as this one, the heat of the day might fall a bit short in its severity, and then it is left to humidity to take over in producing discomfort, as it seemed to do on Saturday. In the District, the official high temperature obviously was adequate to qualify as summer. The mercury reached 92 degrees. Perhaps not an automatic symbol of thermal suffering, but it was two degrees above the normal (or average) high for July 26, which is 90. Yet it was not perhaps a fully fledged 90-degree day, in that many hours seemed to laze in the upper 80s. In addition, during two of the afternoon's hourly readings, the mercury hit 90 but it was just 90 and not higher. After a time in many a summer, a day that deploys many hours of merely 90 degrees might lose its power to deter all thoughts of outdoor activity. So if this summer is to hold its place as one of the region's seemingly less salubrious, the dew point must take a hand. It must hold up its end of the legendary heat-humidity partnership. The dew point reflects the power of humidity to make a day uncomfortable, even oppressive.
