Hot, humid conditions expected Wednesday; threat of storms during the evening

PITTSBURGH — Plan for another hot, humid day Wednesday, along with the threat of a few showers and storms.

Wildfire smoke may bring us “hazy” sunshine through the first part of the day, with a better chance for showers and storms early afternoon and evening. The uptick in ingredients for strong to severe storms means that any storm that develops could bring more heavy downpours but also damaging winds. When and where these storms are most likely is still coming into better focus, so have your rain gear with you throughout the day.

Because of the later arrival of clouds, showers and storms, temperatures are forecast to climb back near 90 with the heat index in the low 90s Wednesday afternoon.

Another day of isolated strong to severe storms is possible on Thursday.
