CWG Live updates: Best day of July today before heat and humidity build again
Happening now: About as pleasant as July can be today with sunshine and low humidity. Morning temperatures rise into and through the 70s, then afternoon highs in the low to mid-80s.
What's next? A touch warmer tomorrow but still not bad, then gradually hotter and more humid into the weekend, especially Friday, when the heat index could be near or over 105. Storm chances are back late week as well.
Today's daily digit — 10/10: This looks like the absolute top-shelf day of July thanks to ample sunshine, low humidity and temperatures several degrees below normal. | 🤚 Your call?
The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale.
Forecast in detail
Today (Tuesday): We're loving the low humidity out there (dew points down in the delightful mid-50s to near 60) after weeks of maximum mugginess. Mostly sunny skies are also welcome as highs reach the pleasant low to mid-80s. There may still be a touch of haze at times due to lingering wildfire smoke in the upper atmosphere. Light winds from the northeast at 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: High-Five 😎 Nice Day!
Tonight: An absolutely perfect summer evening in the 70s with mostly clear skies. There is a slight uptick in humidity (already, I know) with lows from the mid-60s to near 70. Light breezes from the east and southeast. Confidence: High
Tomorrow (Wednesday): Mostly sunny and still not too uncomfortable with highs in the mid- to upper 80s. But humidity does trend back up into the moderate range (dew points in the mid-60s). Light winds from the southeast at 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: High
Tomorrow night: Mostly clear and a bit muggier with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s. Confidence: High
A look ahead
Thursday finds more typical July heat as highs reach near 90 to the low 90s with mostly sunny skies and moderate to borderline high humidity. Thursday night features a few clouds with lows ranging through the muggier 70s. Confidence: High
Friday has a shot to be the hottest day of this month so far with highs in the mid-90s to maybe upper 90s as humidity moves into the uncomfortably high range. That sends heat indexes into unsafe territory near or above 105. Skies are partly to mostly sunny with an isolated afternoon or evening thunderstorm possible. Friday night finds partly cloudy skies and very muggy lows in the mid- to upper 70s. Ick. Confidence: Medium-High
The weekend starts super hot with Saturday highs probably well into the 90s again. Sunday may scale back to low to mid-90s. Both days should be partly sunny and have a shot at afternoon to evening scattered thunderstorms with heavy downpours possible. Saturday night should be partly to mostly cloudy with high humidity and lows in the 70s. Confidence: Medium
Next week looks to stay hot through midweek with highs probably around 90 to 95 and daily thunderstorm chances. But another welcome cool front should shift highs down into the 80s late in the week along with another humidity timeout as the calendar flips to August.

Pittsburgh-area house with 20,000 rounds of ammo inside catches fire
A fire ripped apart a home in Westmoreland County on Friday morning, igniting thousands of bullets inside. Shots rang out as flames poured out of a home in Vandergrift. It was the sounds of the 20,000 rounds of ammo stored inside. "It was constant pops," next-door neighbor Don Cocco said. It was around 8 a.m. when Cocco smelled smoke and heard his neighbors screaming that the house next to his on Emerson Street was on fire. "When I came out, I seen all of the smoke in the eaves," Cocco said. They began to panic and banged on the front door, thinking the woman who lived there was home. Cocco said it wasn't long before she pulled up to the home as flames shot out of the side air conditioner. "The flames were pretty high, and I was scared for my house," Cocco said. Shortly after fire crews arrived, ammo started to take off. "It was very scary because, you know, nobody knew where they were going," Cocco said. Vandergrift #1 Fire Chief Randy Dunmire said he quickly pulled their crews out of the building. "It's just kind of like flying around some. It doesn't have a lot of velocity to it because it's not coming out of a barrel, but it still has enough from the powder," Dunmire said. Fire crews attacked the blaze from the outside for about 30 minutes until they knew all the ammo had exploded. The bullets traveled far, with some shell casings found about a half a block away. "We decided if we didn't hear any for 10 minutes, then it was OK to go in," Dunmire said. After knocking the fire down, crews did a lot of manual work, tackling fire in the walls and ceilings. In the process, they rotated crews due to the heat. "It was a dangerous situation for quite some time," Dunmire said. Dunmire said they saved some rifles and handguns, but many were destroyed. He called the house a total loss. They're in contact with the state fire marshal. Dunmire said he's not ruling on a cause, though he believes it was accidental. Cocco is just grateful everyone is OK. "I give all of the credit in the world to the fire departments. Unbelievable job they did," Cocco said.

On a muggy day with the temperature topping 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 Celsius), Raducanu took a medical timeout while reeling off the last five games of the match after trailing 5-2 in the second set.
