Comfortable weather has returned to the Pittsburgh area
Any Alert Days Ahead? No
Aware: With temperatures dipping below 64°, this morning is the coldest morning of the month so far in Pittsburgh. Tuesday morning will be the coolest morning of the month.
You can keep the umbrella at home as we are going to get a nicely deserved break from the rain starting now and continuing through Thursday. Our next rain chance comes on Friday, with low rain chances sticking around for the weekend. Monthly rain stats are a little misleading as we have seen our share of scattered daily storms. Often times we haven't seen any rain at the airport, but we have seen flash flood warnings being issued in other parts of our area.
So far this month, the NWS Pittsburgh office has issued 20 flash flood warnings. 76 were issued last month & 15 in May. When it comes to just flash flood warnings being issued, this is the most since 2003. Of note, August of 2003 saw 108 flash flood warnings. That's the most of any month ever on record for the Pittsburgh area.
Not only is it looking dry, but the weather will be comfy through at least Wednesday morning. I have highs hitting the low 80s today and Tuesday. Temperatures will be the coolest at any time this month today. That won't last for long with temperatures expected to dip even lower on Tuesday morning. I have Pittsburgh dipping down to the mid-50s. The average low this time of the year is 64°, so we will finally dip to below average for a morning or two. Lunchtime temps should be in the upper 70s. Winds will be light and out of the north. Dew points will dip into the 50s by this afternoon.
Looking ahead, highs on Tuesday should remain in the mid to low 80s with low humidity levels. Wednesday will be a split day with humidity levels low to start the day and then shooting up. Wednesday highs should hit the upper 80s. The hottest days of the week will be on Thursday and Friday with highs hitting the low 90s.
Thursday looks dry right now, with rain chances around on Friday and maybe even arriving on Thursday night.

South Florida heats up as drier air settles in
Thousands of Broward County public school students headed back to class for the start of the new year on Monday. It was a warm and muggy start to the day with temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s. With less rain around, it will be hotter than the previous few days with highs climbing to the low 90s. It will feel like the low 100s when the humidity is factored in. As high pressure builds and drier air settles in, the chance of rain is low with only spotty showers developing on the breeze. The heaviest rain will be steered towards the interior and the West Coast. There is a high risk of rip currents along the Atlantic beaches and the UV index is extreme. There are no alerts or advisories for boaters along the Atlantic or Florida Keys waters. High pressure will remain in control for the rest of the week, keeping the chance of rain low with more of a typical summer-time pattern. A light easterly-southeasterly wind flow will lead to a more seasonal pattern with some passing showers possible each day on the breeze. This week will be a scorcher with highs soaring to the low 90s and feels-like temperatures in the triple-digits. The National Weather Service said heat advisories may be issued if the heat indices are forecast to reach 105 degrees or higher for two hours or more. The summer sizzle continues through the weekend with the potential for scattered showers on Saturday and Sunday.
