Pittsburgh Weather: Showers and storms remain possible this weekend

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Get ready for another hot and humid day! 

Today will remain mostly dry through the afternoon with highs in the mid to upper 80s and muggy conditions. Storms will take over the region Saturday night into Sunday morning.  

There is the potential for a thunderstorm or two to become strong to severe.  Gusty winds are the primary threat in a set-up like this. The storms developing also have the potential to drop some heavy rain, too.  This means some flash flooding cannot be ruled out.

These will start moving in from the west between 8 p.m. through midnight then it'll wrap up by the morning hours.

There might be a couple of leftover showers or isolated storms when you wake up Sunday, but the rest of the day is looking dry with lower humidity levels and highs in the low to mid-80s.

Wildfire smoke makes a comeback for Sunday and Monday, according to the latest model guidance. While some smoke may be at the surface, at the moment it does not look like it will be as bad as what we experienced a couple of weeks ago. Nonetheless, smoky skies are expected to win out through the day on Sunday and last into Monday.

The air quality will likely become poor and sensitive to those with breathing issues. So limit time outdoors.

Another round of scattered storms move in for Monday, but they will clear out by Tuesday. Then we have a couple of sunny days to follow with lower humidity levels and highs in the low 80s. 

Wednesday will be mostly dry, but there could be some isolated storms that try to slide to the south. 

So West Virginia and Maryland counties will have a better chance to see those. 

Thursday into Friday could feature some more storms, and humidity levels rise with highs still in the low to mid-80s.
