PITTSBURGH, PA — A few showers could linger into the night, but the overall pattern is turning quieter and drier. Sunshine is expected to return on Wednesday as conditions become more comfortable for the rest of the week.
The change should be most noticeable in the humidity, which is forecast to drop sharply. Highs in the mid 70s on Wednesday and Thursday would make the air feel much more like early fall than late July.
What weather changes are expected on Wednesday and Thursday?
Wednesday is expected to bring partly cloudy skies, cooler air and lower humidity, with a high near 75 degrees and an overnight low around 57. Thursday should start off refreshing and finish with more sunshine, with a high near 78 and a low around 63.
That marks a clear improvement from the more uncomfortable stretch earlier in the week. The forecast points to a steadier, calmer pattern through midweek.
How warm will it get by Friday?
Temperatures are expected to rebound a bit on Friday, when the day should be mostly sunny and warmer. The forecast high is around 82 degrees, with a low near 65 overnight.
Even with that warmup, conditions are still expected to stay relatively pleasant compared with a typical sticky July day.
Could smoke or rain return later this week?
Forecasters say occasional wildfire smoke could drift overhead at times, though it is not expected to be as noticeable as it was last week. The broader weather pattern is projected to stay fairly quiet through next weekend.
The next chance for rain may arrive Sunday evening and continue into Monday, giving the region a possible late-weekend interruption after several dry days.
What does the overnight forecast show?
Overnight conditions are expected to stay mostly cloudy to partly cloudy and cool, with a low around 55 degrees. That should keep the region on the comfortable side heading into Wednesday morning.
The pattern suggests a brief stretch of mild summer weather before temperatures edge back upward later in the week.
