A little more sunshine expected across Maryland Thursday
Skies will manage to clear late tonight, some patchy fog could develop-especially in low-lying river valleys. Overnight lows will fall into the 60s for most, with some cooler spots in the upper 50s in western Maryland.
Looking ahead to Thursday and Friday, high pressure nearby will keep our weather relatively quiet. Winds coming in off the water will help hold temperatures a bit below normal for early August. Expect highs in the upper 70s to low 80s both days, with overnight lows in the upper 50s and 60s. We'll see a mix of clouds and sun Thursday-though clouds may win out by the afternoon. Friday is looking brighter overall, with a little more sun breaking through as the system overhead moves out.
Rain chances look very limited to end the week, though we can't completely rule out a quick popup shower Thursday afternoon. If you are headed to the Ravens Pre-Season Game at the Bank Thursday evening, expect temps in the 70s under partly cloudy skies. Ideal weather for some football.
As we head into the weekend, dry conditions are expected to continue across much of Maryland, along with slightly cooler-than-normal temperatures. Expect highs in the 80s with lows in the 60s. It will be warmer than it was during the week
Next week brings some changes. Warmer air will start to push in from the south, leading to a slow return of humidity-and eventually, better chances for showers and storms. Monday and Tuesday could bring a few spotty, heat-driven showers. But the best chance for more widespread rain looks to arrive around midweek.
By then, expect the humidity to return in full force. Heat index values could approach 100 degrees by Wednesday or Thursday, marking a noticeable shift from this week's cooler, cloudier pattern.
In the meantime, enjoy the fresh air and mild temperatures-it's a break from the usual August heat, and it won't last much longer.

Pittsburgh area looking at its 10th straight day with no measurable rain
I am going to tell you a you ready? There is no such thing as "perfect" weather. All weather plays a role in how we survive. Just like you can't have rainy days every day without paying the cost, you also can't just have sunny and pleasant weather all the time. WEATHER LINKS: Current Conditions | School Closings & Delays | Submit Your Weather Photos Today will be the 10th day in a row that we haven't seen any measurable rain in Pittsburgh. It's the longest stretch of the year so far and the longest stretch since the first week of November last year. We still have a couple of days to go before our next decent chance for rain. I have us staying dry Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. That will bring us up to 13 days in a row with no measurable rain. That would put us in the top 100 of the longest dry stretches ever recorded in Pittsburgh. A stretch of 13 days is fairly rare in Pittsburgh. If we go through Sunday with no rain, it would be only the sixth time we would have gone that long in Pittsburgh over the last decade. Today is obviously expected to be dry, with highs back in the mid to low 80s. I have Pittsburgh hitting 84° for our high temperature. Morning temperatures dipped to near 60 degrees in most communities. I have noon temperatures today in the upper 70s. Winds will be light and out of the east at 5-10mph. Today should see mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies. Looking at your weekend, Friday highs will still be in the mid-80s for most places. Saturday and Sunday highs will be in the upper 80s. There is a chance for highs hitting the 90s on Sunday. I have a number of days next week where I am forecasting highs hitting the 90s as well. When it comes to rain, scattered storms will be back next week, beginning on Monday. Downpour chances can't be ruled out, but at least as we are starting the week, humidity levels and our precipitable water values won't be in the extreme range. This means the chance for locally heavy downpours and flash flooding won't be extremely high. I'll take it. Stay up to date with the KDKA Mobile App – which you can download here!

3 people from U.S. base in Antarctica evacuated in high-risk rescue operation: "Nothing short of heroic"
Three people needing medical care were evacuated from an American research base in Antarctica, New Zealand's air force says, during a perilous rescue operation carried out in freezing temperatures and 24-hour darkness. U.S. officials called the mission "nothing short of heroic." One person requiring urgent medical care and two others needing medical assistance were flown out of McMurdo Station in a mission that took nearly 20 hours, the Royal New Zealand Air Force said in a statement on Wednesday. The U.S. National Science Foundation, which operates the station, sent out the call for help because there were insufficient medical resources at the base. A crew on a Royal New Zealand Air Force C-130J Hercules braved the harsh conditions and successfully carried out the mid-winter medical evacuation, officials said. No information was given about the patients or their conditions. Officials said a U.S. team at the base had to manually create a runway and ensure the ice was groomed and suitable for landing in Antarctica's perpetual winter darkness and sub-zero temperatures. After a detailed analysis of the weather and conditions of the airfield, the New Zealand air force crew -- with a doctor on board -- used night vision goggles to carry out the mission. Once on the ice, the engines of the C-130J Hercules were kept running to keep them warm for refueling, a process known as "hot refueling," before the aircraft took off with the three patients, officials said. The aircraft landed back in Christchurch, New Zealand on Wednesday, the air force said. Air Commodore Andy Scott said the freezing cold, unpredictable weather conditions and the difficulty of landing on ice in total darkness make such flights "one of the most challenging" for crews to perform. "(It is) an extremely challenging environment to fly in on night vision goggles due to the extreme weather conditions, which are highly changeable at this time of year and makes accurate forecasting a challenge," he said. McMurdo Station -- which is located about 25 miles from the world's southernmost active volcano -- reported temperatures of -11 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday. The U.S. Embassy in New Zealand lauded the success of the mission. "Landing a large aircraft on ice, in darkness, using night vision, takes precision and extraordinary skill," the embassy said on social media. "We are deeply grateful for the crew's professionalism, courage, and partnership. This mission was nothing short of heroic." The New Zealand air force carried out similar rescues in 2021 and 2024, according to the embassy. According to its website, McMurdo Station is "the central logistical hub for the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP), supporting research on the continent and at NSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station."
