2001kx Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I was at the Pitt game Saturday...absolutely brutal tailgating at 2 pm. I am jacked for 60-70 degrees all week, and showers...hoping for 65 and sunny on Saturday for the next game! i went to the AMA national motocross race in Delmont, Pa on saturday we were there from 7:30am - 6:00pm sitting in the middle of a field watching the race with no shade at all. it was hard to enjoy the race when its that hot...but we made it without having a heat stroke -lol.

north pgh Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 It looks as though the bulk of the rain will be south and east. I have had hardly any rain here in the North Hills today. It is a good thing this is not a winter storm or we would have gone from a forecast of 6-12 to 1 or 2 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paweatherguy1 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 The 12z gfs is mighty interesting for us...probably a cold rain, but the 500 mb freezing line is actually to our southeast with about .25 inches of precip falling.

Gotta think we see our first flakes early this year Both the gfs and nam have been in general agreement the past few runs. The main question will be how heavy the precip will be at times. IMO, it will take relatively heavy precip, in order to pull down any snowflakes. Above 2000 ft is where this is the most likely to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Boy it has been quiet on here lately. Soon we will be tracking the snow.

CoraopolisWx Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 00Z GFS is very interesting at Hr 189. Could be a 1000ft asl snowstorm if this verified. Anything below 1000ft, and especially 800ft, climo takes over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
