Stretch of warmer weather starts on Tuesday

PITTSBURGH — Sunshine and springlike temperatures return Tuesday, just the start of a stretch of warmer weather that will feel more like mid-June.

High temperatures on Tuesday will climb back into the upper 60s, and by Thursday, highs will be near 80 degrees.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday will also stay dry, helping to boost the allergy season as spring plants continue to bloom.

Right now, tree pollen is at a high level and grass pollen levels are climbing.

Rain returns Friday and could come with a few scattered storms.
