Saturday we are now watching for the chance of heavy rain and even severe thunderstorms, so the next 3 days are all severe weather alert days. That smoke is out there now, and this will continue increasing as we head through the day. Likely the worst of it is here tonight into tomorrow morning, meaning it&#8217;s very dangerous again to be outside. For everybody, the smoke really won&#8217;t start improving until very late tomorrow and even into early on Saturday, and the rain on Saturday will help to improve conditions across Western Pennsylvania. We&#8217;ll still make it to about 90 today. The humidity is high. It&#8217;ll feel like we&#8217;re in the middle 90s, 88 tomorrow, 84 Saturday before those rain and storms develop. Rain should exit before sunrise on Sunday at 82. We&#8217;ll dry out Monday with another rain chance on Tuesday, and that one will drop. Our temperatures into the 70s for highs on Wednesday and Thursday, *** good 4 or 5 degrees below where we should be for this time of year. So let&#8217;s start your future cast clock here on Saturday. We could see some showers and thunderstorms develop through the middle part of the day. These won&#8217;t be severe, but may help to limit the severe threat later on in the day. Again, these showers and storms will roll through. Then we&#8217;ll watch *** line of storms drifting across Lake Erie. These will dive southward after about 4. O&#8217;clock on Saturday by 8 or 9 o&#8217;clock sliding through Pittsburgh and then gone from Western Pennsylvania by the time we get to about 11 o&#8217;clock and then we will see drying conditions as we head into your Sunday. Again, we all have *** level 2 risk of severe weather. Wind as well as flooding are our primary concerns, although some small hail can&#8217;t be ruled out as we head through those storms. It is smoky out there on action cam. This is all wildfire smoke on action cam, so again, it&#8217;s dangerous. To be outside, 84 is the current temperature. It feels like it is 91 degrees. The humidity stays up today as our air temperature tries to make it to 90. That smoke may keep us *** degree or two shy. It&#8217;ll still feel like the middle 90s. And again, we are on code red air quality alert today and severe weather alert day because of that smoke out there. Again, it&#8217;s unhealthy for everybody, so if you don&#8217;t have to go outside, it&#8217;s best to stay inside today and tomorrow.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Pittsburgh police seek family of child found wandering in Hill District<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1769019068_844_wtae.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WTAE logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 3:08 PM EDT Jul 16, 2026\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wtae.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tPittsburgh police are looking for the family of a young girl who was found wandering in the Hill District early Thursday morning.Someone on Crawford Street saw the child, believed to be around 4 years old, on their doorbell camera and called 911, public safety officials said.&#8221;Officers attempted to locate her home and\/or her parent\/guardian, but were unsuccessful,&#8221; public safety officials said.Anyone who can help identify the child or her parents or guardian is being asked to call 911.The child was wearing a gray tank top and shorts when she was found, and her hair had braids with beads.
