That is some rare air in place and it helped to fuel the nasty storms that we saw yesterday.
The storms were triggered by a cold front sliding through our area. It will bring some relief from the heat today and looking ahead it appears we should have a couple of nice and fairly comfy days before our next chance for rain arrives on Sunday afternoon.
Today will be sunny and I have Pittsburgh's high temperature hitting 83 degrees. Winds will be brisk, out of the north northwest at 7-15mph. Morning out the door temperatures are in the mid-60s. Noon temperatures should be in the upper 70s.
Looking ahead, Highs will be in the mid-80s on Friday and upper 80s on Saturday.
Both days will see dew points (humidity) ticking up with dew points in the mid-50s on Friday and nearing 60 degrees on Saturday. Sunday is going to be hot and humid with highs likely back in the 90s.
I have Pittsburgh hitting 92 for the high. Sunday showers and storm chances are expected to arrive as the sun is going down.
