PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Overall, Tuesday will be comfortable, but more rain could sneak into the forecast through the afternoon hours.

Today: Mostly cloudy skies to start off the day. There remains a low storm chance for this afternoon as we see a blast of cool air briefly move in for the next 18 hours or so.

Any Alert Days Ahead?: We really see rain chances ramping up starting Thursday. Only one completely dry day on the 7-day forecast right now (Wednesday).

Aware: Hot weather returns with highs near 90 arriving as soon as Wednesday. Rain may keep highs down in the mid-80s on Thursday and Friday.

We're back to partly cloudy skies across much of the area now but we could still see a stray shower or two trickle through SW PA through mid-afternoon as the front drops through the area. 

Once it passes, you'll notice more comfortable humidity levels and highs will stay very seasonable and pleasant in the upper 70s to lower 80s today. Tomorrow, that's a different story as heat start to build and we push into the upper 80s. 

Another front crosses later Thursday bringing us another round of showers and thunderstorms. That will cool us temporarily Friday but the heat sticks around through the weekend in the mid to upper 80s with a little more humid conditions and a chance of a pop up thunderstorm each afternoon.
