Pittsburgh faces heat warning on Tuesday

Severe weather warning day: Pittsburgh faces heat warning on Tuesday

The heat index values ​​reach up to 40 degrees

SIX FIGURES. YOU SEE IT ON YOUR SCREEN: SEVERE WEATHER WARNING. ASHLEY. YES, JUST BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. THERE’S A HEAT WARNING FOR PARTS OF THE AREA, AND IN THOSE AREAS THE HEAT INDEX CAN GO UP TO 100, 104 DEGREES. SO IT’S PRETTY DANGEROUS FOR US, ESPECIALLY IN THE BEAVER ALLEGHENY, WASHINGTON, AND GREENE PARTS OF WESTMORELAND AND FAYETTE COUNTY. THAT EXTENDS AS FAR AS MORGANTOWN. SO THIS HEAT WARNING WILL GO INTO EFFECT AGAIN TODAY AT NOON AND WILL GO INTO 8 P.M. AND THIS IS WHERE WE COULD HAVE THE HIGHEST FEEL-FEELS TEMPERATURE. BUT WE ALL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS HOT AIR, TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE LOW TO MID 90S. ACTUAL TEMPERATURE THIS AFTERNOON IS ALREADY 72 IN PITTSBURGH. IN GREENSBURG IN INDIANA IT’S 66, IN KITTANNING IT’S 64, IN BEAVER IT’S 63, AND IN WASHINGTON IT’S 65. SO WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR HIGHS, IT’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE COOLER TODAY ON I-80 TO ABOVE 80S NEAR OIL CITY BUT IN UNIONTOWN EVEN IN CONNELLSVILLE 9394 IT’S 86 TODAY AND SEVEN SPRINGS. As we look at the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding areas, we’re going to see temperatures near 93, 94 degrees, 93 degrees in Canonsburg. Greensburg, Latrobe, and even Mount Pleasant will be 93 degrees or less. So those are the areas that will be under a heat advisory around noon today. It’s pretty quiet to start the day though. There’s some fog building up in the River Valley. There’s fog in parts of Butler County, but overall skies are clear with just a few high clouds moving through, especially in parts of Allegheny, Armstrong, and Indiana. IF WE LOOKING FURTHER TO THE SOUTH-SOUTHWEST, WE’LL SEE THE REMAINS OF BERYL, WHICH WE’RE ABOUT TO OBSERVE. THIS LOW AREA IS JUST OVER ARKANSAS. IT’S A TROPICAL DEPRESSION AREA. IT’S WEAKER AS IT MOVES MORE OVER LAND, BUT IT HAS GAINED A SOME SPEED AND IS MOVING NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 23 MPH. MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS AT ABOUT 30 MPH. WE’RE EXPECTING SOME RAIN, ESPECIALLY LATE TODAY AND CONTINUED ON THURSDAY. SO EXCUSE ME FOR WEDNESDAY. SO TOMORROW WILL BE A DAY OF IMPACT. THERE MAY BE STRONGER WIND GUSTS WITH SOME OF THESE INDIVIDUAL STORMS, ESPECIALLY FROM PITTSBURGH TO THE NORTH AND EAST WHERE YOU SEE THE DARKER GREEN HERE. THE CHANCE OF SEEING SOME OF THESE STRONGER STORMS HAPPEN IS BETTER. LET’S MAP THIS HERE ON FUTURECAST. ALL DAY WE’LL HAVE HIGH CLOUDS GETTING INVOLVED. IT’S GOING TO BE VERY HOT AND HUMBLE HERE. TONIGHT IS GOING TO BE VERY WARM. WE’RE ONLY IN THE MID-25S. WE’LL SEE AN INDIVIDUAL THUNDERSTORM BETWEEN 4:00 AND 8:00 AM IN LAWRENCE BEAVER AND BUTLER. REALLY, MOST OF US WILL HAVE A DRY MORNING. THEN WE’LL SEE SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS. HERE I HAVE A CHANCE OF SOME STRONGER GUSTS. IT’S STARTING AGAIN AS FAR AS NOON. WEDNESDAY WILL BE A BLOWING DAY AND SOME LONG-LASTING RAIN IS POSSIBLE INTO THURSDAY. A DISH OR TWO AROUND NOON. I THINK MOST OF US WILL JUST HAVE SOME CLOUDS. THEN IT WILL DRY UP BUT IT WILL STAY HOT AS WE GO INTO THE WEEKEND. ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IN MIND. WE ARE WATCHING THE DROUGHT MONITOR AS IT HAS BEEN VERY DRY. MUCH OF THE REGION IS NOW IN THE ABNORMAL RANGE, WE NEED SOME OF THE RAIN THAT IS COMING TOWARDS TOMORROW AS WELL. THAT’S YOUR FORECAST FOR FOUR DAYS AND FOUR MORE TO COME. ANOTHER DAY WITH SEVERE WEATHER WARNING AND HEAT WARNING, WEDNESDAY IS AN IMPACT DAY WITH FLOODING FROM BERYL BRINGING SOME ISOLATED STORMS, DRIVING
