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.
