We still have moderate drought conditions north of I-80 and party of the Pittsburgh region is abnormally dry, so we need more rain, but it looks mainly dry and hot through next week. Monday, a stray thunderstorm is also possible in the afternoon and evening, but the chance remains low.

We warm back up again next week with highs in the mid to upper 80s where it'll even feel in the 90s for some factoring in the humidity. By Thursday, Pittsburgh could touch 90° as we heat up each day.

It doesn't look to be near record highs though. We could do it again on Friday and the record of Friday is 96° back in 1993.

Make sure you find ways to stay cool and hydrated and if it's too hot for you it's too hot for your pets. 

The next best chance for storms arrives Thursday.
