Will North Jersey see more rain this week? A little, but expect higher temperatures
The region may see "a few isolated showers or a thunderstorm in the afternoon" on July 15, according to the National Weather Service's New York office. Otherwise, the forecast calls for the day to be "mainly dry" — a sharp contrast from the July 14 evening storms that brought several inches of rain to some New Jersey municipalities.

The National Weather Service's office in Mount Holly predicted similar conditions throughout southern and western New Jersey, with some isolated storms but a low threat of severe weather. That threat increases farther south, where much of Delaware and eastern Maryland has a 50% to 60% chance of storms through July 15.
According to totals collected by the NWS, the Union County township of Clark recorded the highest precipitation amount, with 6.67 inches as of 7 a.m. July 15. Notable measurements in North Jersey included 4.47 inches in Long Hill, 4.17 inches in Butler, 3.76 inches in Franklin Lakes, 2.59 inches in Pompton Lakes and 2.15 inches in Montague.
While the likelihood of additional flooding is low, residents should be prepared for extended heat as temperatures rise. The area should see highs in the 80s on July 15, with parts of northeast New Jersey potentially reaching a heat index of 95, according to NWS New York.
The agency issued a hazardous weather outlook indicating a "moderate to high potential" of a heat index between 95 and 100 degrees from July 16-18. The heat index could reach as high as 105 degrees on July 17, the alert states.

Another heat advisory for Twin Cities Wednesday, with storms on the way
Parts of Minnesota will once again be under a heat advisory on Wednesday, and more storms are in the pipeline, too. The Twin Cities, south-central and southwestern Minnesota will be under that advisory from noon through 8 p.m. Highs should reach the lower 90s, while heat indices could surpass 100. Scattered strong to severe storms are possible in the afternoon and evening, with heavy rain, damaging wind and hail the main threats. Flooding is a concern to the north. Thursday will be muggy early before drier, cooler air arrives later in the day. Isolated showers will be possible in southeastern Minnesota. Expect a sunny, less humid day on Friday, with highs in the low 80s. The weekend will start comfortable and dry before the heat and humidity make a comeback on Sunday. Storm chances ramp up again heading into next week.

Pittsburgh will see temperatures near 90 degrees on Wednesday with future rain chances
High temperatures will shoot up to near 90 degrees today, and I have Pittsburgh seeing a high of 89°. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos When it comes to your comfort level while outside, the temperature plays just a partial role. The other thing you want to monitor is where our humidity level is, and at least for today, humidity levels start off in the low range and will climb to the moderate range by the end of the day. Thursday will be dry and humid with morning lows near 70 and highs hitting the low 90s. I have Pittsburgh's high at 91°. Friday highs will be in the mid to upper 80s with morning lows in the mid to low 70s. Saturday and Sunday temperatures will look very close to Friday's temps. We could hit 90 degrees next week on Monday or Tuesday, with Monday having the higher chance of seeing the 90s. Humidity levels will be back in the high range tomorrow. Humidity is just a measure of moisture in the atmosphere. When high, it limits the efficiency of our bodies' natural way to cool down through evaporation. The drier the air, the more evaporation that takes place. Evaporation is a cooling process in which heat is released. When the air is more humid, you may notice you're more sweaty. Looking ahead, our next rain chance comes on Friday. Model data is leaning towards our best chance for rain happening on Saturday and not Friday. I am going to put rain chances equal when it comes to coverage for now, but I really think Friday's chance for rain should be higher. We have a front that noses its way into our area from the north and falls apart right on top of us. Remnants of this front will also be around on Saturday. The higher rain chance on Friday probably means highs on Friday will fail to hit the 90-degree range. Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!

On This Date: America's Record-Largest Hail Fell In South Dakota
Sometimes you need a little serendipity to set a new all-time weather record. On July 23, 2010, 15 years ago today, a supercell thunderstorm spawned a brief tornado and an 85-mph wind gust near Vivian, South Dakota, about 30 miles south of the state capital, Pierre. But it was the hail this supercell produced that etched this storm into U.S. history. One resident of Vivian saved several of the giant hailstones in a freezer after they pelted his property. Meteorologists from the National Weather Service in Aberdeen, South Dakota, later visited the Vivian resident and measured the largest of these stones to be a whopping 8 inches in diameter and 1.9375 pounds, both new U.S. records, topping the previous record from Sept. 3, 1970, in Coffeyville, Kansas. (WATCH: Flash Flood Floats New Mexico Business) It's hard for a single photo to illustrate how mammoth this hail was. The Vivian hailstone was almost as wide as a typical ball your child might use on the playground and roughly as heavy as a hammer. Now picture those stones falling at speeds over 100 mph, and you might imagine the damage they caused. The hail left large divots in grass and punched a hole through the deck of the Vivian home. And because the severe thunderstorm knocked out power at the home, the record hailstone melted somewhat between when it was first found and when the NWS meteorologists measured it. The Vivian hailstone is also the heaviest on record in the Western Hemisphere, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The heaviest hailstone anywhere on Earth weighed 2.25 pounds in the Gopalganj district of Bangladesh on April 14, 1986.
