Today will be dry with temperatures a couple of degrees below the average for this time of the year. I have highs hitting the upper 70s today. We hit 79° yesterday and probably will be a couple of degrees lower than that today. I have Pittsburgh at 77. Noon temperatures should be near 70. Winds will be out of the north at 5-10mph this afternoon with sunny skies.

The pattern is a 'rinse and repeat' one when it comes to temperatures over the next week. 

Over the next week, I'm forecasting Saturday and next Thursday as the hottest days with a high of 78 degrees. I have Tuesday as the coolest day with a high of just 75 degrees forecast.  

So over the next week, I have the spread of high temperatures at just three degrees. There's a little more variation when it comes to morning lows but not by much. 

The forecast is great for being outside unless you're thinking about taking a dip in a pool or lake. 

The Steelers' first preseason game is on Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium. 

The weather should be very comfy for the game.
