Nothing awful. Few sub-severe gusts with the front end of the line as it moved in and some thunder and lightning, mostly several miles away.
-
Overperformed our way to a 3rd 80 at PIT today. None of the days were forecast to get there.
-
4th year in a row that the temp has hit 82 before the halfway point of April. This had never happened in 3 consecutive years prior to this streak.
-
Interesting the way the western end of that line just died. We just seemed pretty starved for moisture which is fine after the last week and a half.
-
Sorry to hear, man. I know you did so much for her in her final years.
-
Officially the wettest spring day on record, surpassing last Tuesday.
-
Looks like so much more rain to come.
-
And just like that it’s the 2nd wettest April day ever observed at the airport.
-
We’re now up to 1.52” at the airport today, so we’re already up to 4th with more rain tonight and 19 more days in the month.
-
80 feels like such a soft record, considering we’ve been 78 in February and 80 in early March.
-
Hmm. Is PIT cooking the books?
-
Went up to northwest PA and watched the total eclipse. Interesting that the partial eclipse didn’t drop the temp at all at PIT, I thought that was expected even at 97% totality. Looks like Erie went 69 to 55 with the eclipse.
-
On this day last year it was 85 degrees. Today it’s snowing.
-
They screwed that up. Whatever they did, it excluded non-leap years. 2020 is actually in 16th place.
-
Year to date precip is currently in 2nd place behind 2018, which of course was the record year (but a large amount of that precip from 1/1 through early April fell as snow).
-
Hell of a way to run a moderate risk.
-
Yesterday’s final official tally of 2.68” makes it the wettest spring day on record for Pittsburgh.
-
Obligatory “imagine if this was snow” post.
-
And still lots of rain to come through.
-
That April 19th-20th period in 1901 now stands as the only two day period in April wetter than yesterday and today. Today has now become the 4th April day on record with 2”+ of precip.
-
This is now the wettest April day ever observed at Pittsburgh international, with 1.62” and counting observed since 1am. The official all time record for any April day is 2.34” on 4/14/1922. We’re up to 6th on the all time list.
-
Last Day 2 moderate risk for anywhere in PBZ’s domain was issued on 7/26/2014. That system ultimately produced 2 hail reports and 8 wind reports in PBZ’s area, so we dodged that one.
-
Severe risk also seems to have really amped up with latest guidance. SPC sounded the alarms with their latest outlook: And PBZ introduced this to the zone forecast for Allegheny County:
-
Trying to figure out how PIT only topped at 96 in that heatwave.

I’m going to go with August 2025. It’s the month that has gone the longest without being below normal (last time was 2017, which broke a streak of 18 straight above normal months), but it’s going to be a hot summer and won’t happen this year.
