PITTSBURGH — The sizzling heat continues Thursday, and an unsettled weather pattern sets up bringing a daily chance of showers and storms through early next week.

Highs Thursday will reach the upper 80s near 90 degrees and with the high humidity factoring in it will feel more like the low to mid 90s.

Remember to be safe in this heat, stay hydrated, and keep your pets cool inside and out of the heat. Check on neighbors and friends that struggle with keeping their home cool. Always make sure to take a head count before you exit your car, the temperature in a closed vehicle can quickly jump to dangerous levels causing injury or death.
