CWG Live updates: Heat and humidity are slowly increasing
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: A muggy morning with some patchy fog before sunshine breaks through and temperatures advance into the 80s. Afternoon highs are close to 90. What's next? More heat and humidity on Wednesday with thunderstorm chances. It's somewhat steamy with slight storm chances continuing into the weekend. Today's daily digit — 5/10: The heat and humidity could be far worse in mid-August, but we were spoiled by that winning beginning. |🤚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): Patchy fog is possible this morning, with partly to mostly sunny skies breaking through for the rest of the day. Highs range from the mid-80s to near 90. Humidity is higher than Monday and quite noticeable, with dew points in the unpleasant low 70s. Light winds from the south. An isolated late-day shower or storm is possible in our far southern and western areas. Confidence: Medium-High Tonight: Partly cloudy and muggy with lows from 70 to 75. Light winds continue from the south. Skies may be clear enough at times to catch the Perseid meteor shower that peaks this night and tomorrow night. Confidence: High Tomorrow (Wednesday): Partly to mostly sunny for the morning to midday with more clouds in the afternoon. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon as a weak cool front approaches. Highs climb to their highest levels of August so far, reaching the upper 80s and low 90s. Humidity is high with dew points in the low to mid-70s. Winds are mainly from the southwest at about 5 mph. Confidence: Medium-High Tomorrow night: Evening showers and storms are still possible before partly cloudy prevails. Lows range from 70 to 75 yet again. Confidence: Medium-High A look ahead Thursday features a very slight reduction in humidity with partly to mostly sunny skies and highs near 90 degrees. Dew points in the afternoon should range from the upper 60s to near 70. Also, scattered showers and storms continue, especially in the afternoon to evening. Thursday night finds lows in the 70s under partly cloudy skies and light winds once more. Confidence: Medium-High Friday should be mostly sunny and hot with highs near 90 again, along with moderate to high humidity. A few clouds are possible Friday night with lows in the 70s (upper 60s possible in our cooler areas). Confidence: Medium-High Our middle weekend of August is a hotter one with highs near or a little above 90 as humidity holds at uncomfortable moderate to high levels. A chance of an afternoon shower or storm exists both days. Saturday night is partly sunny and muggy as lows range from the upper 60s to mid-70s. Confidence: Medium Next week starts with a hotter, muggier August vibe, but a big cool front sweeping in midweek has the potential to bring significant relief from the heat and humidity. Stay tuned!

Pennsylvania team wins Little League Softball World Series championship
A team from Pennsylvania won the Little League Softball World Series championship on Sunday for the first time in nearly 50 years. The West Suburban team from Johnstown, Pennsylvania won the championship game that was hosted in Greenville, North Carolina, defeating a team from Floyds Knobs, Indiana, in a 1-0 pitchers' duel. Pitcher Reagan Bills led the way for the Johnstown-based team that was representing the Mid-Atlantic region as she only allowed one hit and had seven strikeouts. At the plate, Bills had two hits and drove in the series-winning run. Following the big victory, Bills was interviewed and said that winning the championship was the completion of something she's dreamed about since she was a little kid. "I've been watching [the World Series] since I was 5, and I didn't think this was possible," Bills said. "I can't believe it." "We knew this team was special, but we had no idea that we would end up World Champions," said West Suburban president Jason Subich. "When you have a dominant pitcher, you always have a chance to win. Reagan led the way, and these girls rallied around her." Bills was on the mound getting the win for all five of West Suburban's victories. With the victory, the West Suburban team comes only the second team from Pennsylvania to win the Little League Softball World Series, joining Shippensburg who won the championship in 1978.

CWG Live updates: Warmer but still comfortable today, then building heat this week
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: Another great day to be outside. Morning temperatures rising into the 60s and 70s top out in the mid- to upper 80s this afternoon with bearable humidity. What's next? We should stay dry through Tuesday, but heat and humidity are on the rise. Highs could rise well into the 90s Wednesday and Thursday as late-day shower and storm chances return.
