Though i may not have the best vantage point from my garage. I am kind of shielded from everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Looks like the South Hills got hit pretty good with the storms. Not as much in the North. Heavy rain so far .52 and some thunder and maybe a 30-40 mph gust earlier. Looks like a cooler less humid weekend. Hard to believe that we are only several months away from winter weather talk. Let's hope this is a year for a few good snowstorms anyway. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What little severe weather we've gotten so far this season, have been mostly tiny embedded cells wrapped in heavy rain. I can't remember the last time we had a real line of severe weather sweep across the county, with widespread hail and 60+ mph gusts. I remember as a kid, many times seeing the entire western horizon turn black, ahead of a cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope we're not in the middle of a long snowstorm drought, like what we had from Feb 1978 - Nov 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChalkHillSnowNut Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I know its crazy what's happening in TX w/ Harvey and prayers for all of those people! But 50" of rain???!!! What would we do if a blizzard hit with 500' of snow at a 10:1 ratio.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 I'm not sure how often a model shows a CAT3 hurricane riding this far inland at our latitude, but a couple 6z GFS ens members show something along those lines. Pre-game for winter storm tracking? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could use something like an Ivan setup, but with a much sharper cold front at the surface of course. Too much upper level push, and we lose the moisture, so it's definitely a thread the needle type setup Mabey a Nov 1913 type storm, aka the Great Lakes white hurricane.

MikeB_01 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Here is the latest run at GFS. Pretty powerful storm pretty far up the coast. Interestingly, the GEFS and EPS both favor a further south landfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'm in tracking mode guys. Feel free to join me if you want.... This is a monster. 907mb is a top 10 hurricane on record. Lots of warm water over the Bahamas for strengthening. Scary situation for the east coast. Still a along way out, but interesting to look at.

Mailman Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 There was a GFS ensemble member at 18z yesterday that put a 974mb low right over Allegheny County. I just laughed and went on my way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the biggest impact tropical system would be in our history, I know we've had some big impacts like flooding from Ivan but this would probably have some insane sustained wind. Right now GFS is on its own, Euro seems to be more of an east coast scrapper then recurve as of 00z but some of these maps are noteworthy for posterity sake! Outside of when I'm vacationing in the Carolina's, I don't pay much attention to tropical stuff because usually by the time any remnants effect us its fairly mundane.

I think it was back in Oct 2005 we got some snow that was somehow related to a tropical system, can't remember the exact details off the top of my head.

CranberryWX Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 There was a surprise early snow storm in November from a late season tropical system in 1980. I was commuting to PSU New Ken campus then and was stuck in traffic going up 7th St Rd hill for hours. NWS missed the forecast calling for mostly rain but it stayed all snow. It was quick and heavy. I left Natrona Hieghts with just a few flakes to roads covered by time I got to New Kensington. It was around 8" of heavy wet snow. PennDOT was caught off guard and the commute home was worse.

RitualOfTheTrout Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Well I honestly expected to wake up and see the models had shifted away from any major impact for our area from Irma, but looks like I was wrong.. Not sure how exactly 850mb winds translate to the surface but would think we are looking at at least 35-45 mph sustained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailman Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I was already glued to the models for this to begin with. Now I guess I have to keep an eye on the local impacts, as well. Nice little 2.5-day rain event on the 12z GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
