Paweatherguy1 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It looks like the line is weakening. This is reminding me of several years back where almost every mcs that came from the northwest falls apart as soon as it hits Allegheny County. i think that they are more concerned about that outflow boundry, which is VERY impressive on NWS radar. I don't see the actual storms making it down here, at least in the warning time frame, but the outflow boundry is coming southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was preparing for more of a washout this week, however we've been barely outside the greatest areas of instibility all week. I had to drive to Lancaster PA yesterday evening for work, and their we're storms all around me the whole way. Some debis was even on the road in a few spots.

OHSnow Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Looks pretty hot on Tuesday. Probably 90 to 92 at the airports and 93 to 95 downtown Pittsburgh. It's too bad they decommissioned the downtown weather stations... downtown used to run about 3 degrees warmer than the airports because it's about 400 feet lower in elevation and with urban heat island effects. Downtown temps would be much more indicative of what people are experiencing where many people are living or working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Looks like we're not going to quite reach that record high today, but another 90 degree day nonetheless. Two 90 degree days so far and we haven't even reached June yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwad Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Yep no record today, I think the wet soil made it harder to reach the expected high, and the abundance of clouds also played a role. The last time we had two or more 90 degree days in May was back in 1987 which was a hot summer, but that summer wasn't as hot as 1988. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is probably getting flooded over there right now. The Storms are having trouble making it to the PA/OH border. Just pounding eastern Ohio.

north pgh Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Storm developing basically directly over my head, however, by the time it gets going, it will have moved south of me. Kind of weird though to all of a sudden have lighning just out of nowhere. Really suprpised me. I was mad because I planted grass and Ivy in my back yard several weeks back and since then I have had no rain. I had over 10 inches of rain in 2 months and now haven't had any measurable rain since May 27th. I was ready to go to sleep and I saw lightning just to my north out of nowhere and looked at the radar and a little line of storms just formed to my north and another about 5 miles to my south. I was happy because I was hoping for thunderstorms but was mostly looking for a nice little rain soaking for my back yard. Would you know it that the storm tracked about 2 miles southeast of me. I had cloud to ground lightning to my east and had rain for about 30 seconds. (Not enough to barely wet the pavement) I got frustrated and went to bed. I woke up about 45 minutes later with thunder booming again. Turned on the computer and watched another line of storms form over the same areas missing me by about 2-4 miles to my east. Some also formed to my west but I was in the middle. That's what happens with scattered showers and thunderstorms but usually you will get one over you now and then.
