The Heat is On in Western PA

Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]CONTACT TRACING, AS WELL AS TESTING.

[00:00:04]618 I HOPE YOU LIKE YESTERDAY.

[00:00:06]IT’S GOING TO BE EVEN WARMER TODAY.

[00:00:09]THAT SUMMERLIKE SURGE CONTINUES TODAY AND INTO TOMORROW.

[00:00:11]NOW A FEW MORE CLOUDS MIXING IN ON TUESDAY, KEEPING US INTO THE UPPER 80S.

[00:00:14]BUT I DO THINK A LOT OF US ARE GOING TO HIT NEAR 90 THIS AFTERNOON.

[00:00:18]IMPACT DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

[00:00:19]WE’RE GOING TO START TO SEE SOME OF THAT THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TUESDAY NIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY.

[00:00:23]WEDNESDAY IS NOT A WASHOUT, BUT IT’S DEFINITELY A DAY YOU’RE GOING TO NEED THOSE UMBRELLAS.

[00:00:27]IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF A NUISANCE FOR US THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

[00:00:31]SUN IS UP, SHINING BRIGHTLY.

[00:00:32]SAM HALL WAS SHOWING US THAT FOG IN THE LOW LYING AREAS, ESPECIALLY ALONG THE OHIO RIVER, EVEN HEADING INTO BEAVER COUNTY.

[00:00:37]SO JUST BE PREPARED FOR THAT AS YOU HEAD OUT THE DOOR IN SOME SPOTS THIS MORNING.

[00:00:42]OTHERWISE, SAINT CLAIR IS GOING TO BE A BIT OF AN ISSUE.

[00:00:45]63 DEGREES AS YOU WAKE UP IN PITTSBURGH, 60 RIGHT NOW IN NEWCASTLE AND CRANBURY.

[00:00:50]59 IN GREENSBURG, WASHINGTON AT 61, 57 IN INDIANA.

[00:00:53]WAYNESBURG SITTING AT 54.

[00:00:54]AS WE LOOK AT OUR WIND GUSTS OVER THE NEXT 12 HOURS, THEY’RE GOING TO PICK UP A LITTLE BIT AROUND LUNCHTIME.

[00:00:59]CONTINUING THROUGH THE DAY, WE’RE LOOKING AROUND A 20 TO 25 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS.

[00:01:03]UNFORTUNATELY, THOUGH, IT’S NOT GOING TO BE THAT BREEZE THAT’S GOING TO COOL US DOWN A BIT.

[00:01:07]IT’S GOING TO BE HOT AIR FOR SURE.

[00:01:08]AGAIN, WE’LL BE UP NEAR 90 TODAY.

[00:01:10]87 TOMORROW.

[00:01:11]CAN’T RULE OUT A POP UP STORM.

[00:01:12]GOING TO SHOW YOU THAT HERE ON FUTURE CAST IN JUST A SECOND.

[00:01:16]BUT IT IS AN IMPACT DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS THAT FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH, KNOCKING OUR TEMPS DOWN A BIT MORE SEASONAL.

[00:01:21]STILL GOING TO BE COMFORTABLE AND NICE.

[00:01:23]WE’LL STAY DRY ON THURSDAY BUT YOU’LL NOTICE A DIFFERENCE.

[00:01:26]70 ACTUALLY MIGHT FEEL A LITTLE CHILLY COMPARED TO THE 90 WE’LL GET TODAY.

[00:01:29]THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER DOES HAVE US UNDER AN ISOLATED RISK FOR STRONG TO SEVERE STORM DEVELOPING.

[00:01:34]AS WE GET INTO TUESDAY EVENING.

[00:01:36]WITH THE ONSET OF THIS LINE.

[00:01:37]I’M GOING TO SHOW YOU HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

[00:01:39]TODAY, THOUGH, WE DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT SUNSHINE.

[00:01:42]A FEW HIGH CLOUDS.

[00:01:43]THE SPC WAS PICKING UP A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED STORM TO DEVELOP UP ALONG I-80.

[00:01:48]VERY LIMITED RISK.

[00:01:49]BUT AGAIN, IF YOU LIVE IN A MERCER VENANGO CLARION, JUST BE PREPARED FOR THAT LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING.

[00:01:55]OTHERWISE, AGAIN, MOST OF US ARE DRY.

[00:01:57]ALL IS CALM AND QUIET.

[00:01:58]A FEW MORE CLOUDS ARE ROLLING IN FOR US ON TUESDAY.

[00:02:01]AN ISOLATED STORM WILL TRY TO DEVELOP AS WE GET INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON.

[00:02:05]BETWEEN 3 AND 5, BUT THE BULK OF THIS WILL BE CLOSER TO SUNSET.

[00:02:09]AND THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE THE POTENTIAL WITH THE ONSET OF THIS LINE.

[00:02:13]WITH A STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME HAIL AS WELL, IT WILL WEAKEN AS IT MOVES EASTWARD.

[00:02:20]AND WE LOSE THAT DAYTIME HEATING PRETTY MUCH FIZZLING OUT AS WE GET AROUND 7:00 WEDNESDAY MORNING.

[00:02:25]SOME SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS.

[00:02:26]THAT WILL BE SOME POCKETS OF HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES.

[00:02:29]IT WILL BE ON AND OFF AS WE CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY, BUT THAT SWEEPS THROUGH, KNOCKS OUR TEMPERATURES BACK DOWN.

[00:02:34]BUT WE DO DRY OUT FOR THURSDAY.

[00:02:36]UNFORTUNATELY, GETTING INTO MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, IT’S NOT THE BEST WEEKEND.

[00:02:39]IT’S NOT THE WORST OF SHOWERS COMING IN FRIDAY EVENING AND INTO SATURDAY.

[00:02:43]SATURDAY DOES LOOK LIKE A BIT OF A SOAKER, BUT STILL A FEW DAYS OUT.

[00:02:46]THAT FORECAST STILL CAN CHANGE.
