Pittsburgh Weather: Excessive heat with highs near 90-degrees
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Yesterday we made it to 89° which is still above normal. High pressure is still situated bringing us plenty of sunshine and no rain.
Daily average High: 79° Low: 59°
Sunrise: 6:50 AM Sunset: 7:47 PM
ALERT: None
AWARE: Hot, at or near 90 and feeling in the mid-90s through Wednesday.
There are excessive heat concerns for our Labor Day with highs at or near 90 and feeling in the mid-90s for many. This will not just be for today but last through Wednesday. We could have several days in a row that hit 90° or above for some areas. If we have 3 in a row, that would be a heat wave. Either way, It's going to be hot, humid and uncomfortable outside.
Remember, if it's too hot for you it's too hot for your pets. Make sure to take breaks in the shade or indoors. Sunscreen is a must and also drink plenty of water!
