Polar Vortex 2014 Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hard to believe how warm it is for the first week of May. The Weather Channel has high temperatures ranging from 79 to 88 all week.

CoraopolisWx Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Hard to believe how warm it is for the first week of May. The Weather Channel has high temperatures ranging from 79 to 88 all week. Even nighttime lows are only supposed to cool to near 60. Definetely summer-like for the next week at least. It doesn't look too dry though, so hopefully we get some decent storms out of this pattern. Funny how just last Saturday morning, we had a minor snow accumulation.

CoraopolisWx Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Impressive warmth to start the month, as you have to go back to the morning of the 2nd to find temps as low as this afternoon. These May cool shots tend to overperform, as the models underestimate the lake enhanced clouds and rain, that the NW flow produces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proving to be very accurate. http://www.lightningmaps.org/realtime That's a pretty cool site. I bookmarked it right away, and I've used it a couple of times. Was down at the Bucco game this evening (left after the fifth inning, because the kids have school tomorrow), and driving home I was watching the lightning light up the clouds to the west. Came in and checked that site, and none of it is much further east than I-77. Pretty impressive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
