Temperatures to soar near 70 degrees again Thursday
It's not quite as chilly this morning, but some of us will dip into the 30s again. We'll see some occasional high clouds throughout the day, but temperatures will again soar to near 70 degrees. There is still an outside chance of a stray shower south of Pittsburgh, but it appears quite slim.
There should be decent viewing conditions for the lunar eclipse tonight, which will peak around 3 a.m. Plenty of sunshine, warm air aloft, and a southwest breeze will push Friday's temperatures to near-record levels.
Rain is on the way this weekend, primarily Saturday night and into early Sunday morning. A severe weather outbreak is likely across the deep south and up toward the Tennessee Valley, with some gusty thunderstorms possible for us around daybreak Sunday. At the moment, the timing of the front suggests we won't see widespread severe weather but stay tuned to our forecast throughout the weekend.

Dry stretch, Canadian wildfire smoke continue Wednesday
The dry stretch continues Wednesday, along with the hazy sunshine; highs will soar to the upper-80s. Canadian wildfire smoke will continue keeping our sky looking a little hazy at times through Thursday. There are no air quality alerts at this time, but those who are particularly sensitive to respiratory ailments should limit overexertion outside this afternoon and this evening. Toasty temperatures are expected again Thursday; highs will rise into the low to mid-80s. Scattered showers and storms will likely develop in the afternoon hours ahead of a slow-moving front. Storms could bring strong winds, hail and heavy pockets of rain at times. This pattern shift will also help push the smoke out of our area for the end of the week. Scattered showers and storms will be more widespread on Friday; severe storms could be possible with more wet weather for the start of the weekend. Storms Friday evening into Saturday could bring heavy rainfall to the area and produce localized flooding. Make sure to check the latest forecast on Channel 11 News.
