Heat and humidity this afternoon will be followed by rain and storms overnight. Tomorrow is an Impact Day with off and on rain that could lead to flooding concerns. Comfortable conditions will return ahead of the weekend.<\/p>\n

Summer feeling returns today<\/p>\n

Temperatures will be on the toasty side this afternoon with highs in the low to mid 80s. Humidity levels tick higher too, which will make it feel like the lower 90s. Skies will feature a mix of sunshine and clouds over western Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Thursday is an Impact Day with periods of rain and the potential for storms. At this point, no widespread severe weather is expected. Any storm that does develop will have the potential to produce gusty winds and heavy rain. The front will slowly work from north to south and clear late Thursday into Friday morning. By the time we are done, many of us will see over an inch of rain, which could lead to flooding problems.<\/p>\n

Mainly dry weekend<\/p>\n

Friday will be a comfortable day with more sunshine. The forecast looks great for a busy weekend of football around Western PA with games for high schools, Pitt, and the Steelers on deck. The only bump in the road is the possibility of a few light showers Saturday afternoon. Otherwise, the majority of the weekend will be dry.<\/p>\n
