Once the morning fog lifts in spots, we\u2019ll enjoy plenty of sunshine today, although elevated wildfire smoke will make the sky appear hazy at times.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Humidity levels will drop a bit this afternoon but then ramp right back up late tonight. The next system will get closer to us overnight, which may bring us a few showers or perhaps a storm by Monday morning. Many hours during the day will be dry, but watch as a couple of strong storms could develop by Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Waves of showers and storms will continue through mid-week as a front remains nearby. The main threat will be locally heavy rain on top of already saturated grounds, although there will be a slightly higher risk for severe storms given a little more wind energy to tap into.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" alt=\"\" class=\"c-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/https:\/\/cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com\/cmg\/TSC4RHYJCNCTXH2NSGXK3H4J7Q.png\" width=\"1440\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"ImageMetadata__MetadataParagraph-sc-1htor29-0 jibCgM image-metadata\">Thunderstorm chances by day <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">We should get a nice push of drier and slightly cooler air by the end of the week, which should deliver a dry start to next weekend. <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/mobile-apps\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FREE WPXI News app<\/a> for breaking news alerts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph\">Follow Channel 11 News on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wpxi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WPXI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>. | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wpxi.com\/video\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch WPXI NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TOP STORIES FROM CHANNEL 11 NEWS <\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 gJuxXh body-paragraph body-copyright\">\u00a92026 Cox Media Group<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PITTSBURGH \u2014 A beautiful end to the weekend!
