So I guess a letter and phone call from Met-Ed telling everyone to preserve their electric will be happening. 

Probably too early to say this is definitively a “how hot can it get in the first half of June” event, but both the GFS and CMC have trended that way, especially for yinz, but it’ll get too hot for me here too.

This looks like lots and lots of pain. I guess we pay the price for getting an extended winter/early spring.

With just limited precip it would be ugly as depicted.  Is now the time to bring up that the earliest it has ever hit 100 at MDT is June 20th and that it has never gone over 100 in June?

Might as well, record low high's in May and now record high temps in June over 100. Why not?

I think going over 100 is so limited in popularity that even the "Summer in Feb" gang on the MA would be complaining.

True. Hope the models trend the other way this week. We go from sweatshirts to no shirts in a 2 week period.

PIT’s early June standard is nearly untouchable (94, 95, 96, 98 on the first four days of June 1895) - the 98 ties with a couple of days in late June 1988 for our monthly record, and there’s also a 6 day stretch of record highs of 95-97 in mid-June 1994.

I lurk in that sub once in awhile and I feel like I remember reading someone saying they’re ready for 100/80. There’s also someone in the Western PA thread that would like to break our 26 year streak of not reaching 100.

Too hot and it will be down to just masks and nothing else!   I keep hearing revving coming out of my PC speakers and think it is the Euro about to show us it will never be out hotted by another model.  its getting geared up to:

Watching the O's gets them mad and talking extremes.

Imagine upper 90's in 1895 with all the extraneous clothing people wore.

Watching the Phillies even worse a bunch of high salary underperforming players with a HOF coach that cannot coach anymore and doesn't give a horse crap about the team. Just collects a salary. Haha, had to say it sorry.

I can think of a current area of the world where it gets extremely hot and people wear a lot of clothing (I won’t say extraneous, because I’m not opening that can of worms).

Sure, but we are "used" to having large parts of our skin out when it is hot now.  I think wearing a tie when it is cold out is uncomfortable so wearing one with sport jacket in the upper 90's is something I have trouble imagining.

Does this work for a business meeting when it is in the 90s? Asking for a friend.

Sure, especially if you’re a Cowboy fan and people question your judgment anyway. Kidding, of course.

Gotta lighten the mood a little before the Euro confirms our fears about next week and silences the crowd like Mason Crosby hitting a 51 yard field goal as time expired in the 2016 divisional round.

[Bubbler86]

GFS ended near or above 90 for 11 days in a row at MDT.

It all good, my friend! Let's hope as in the winter time it is Dr No today!

While waiting for the hot news on the Euro, here is the qpf distribution for late this week.  LSV and S/W PA look very "Pop up" showery

Ratios?

[paweather]

I think I am going to talk winter all the summer months to help me prepare to talk in Winter. Practice is everything. 

* And no I don't mean the Iverson version of "Practice"

Not sure.  Kuch is part of the paid service.

I saw what the one Pro Forecaster said.  I will check out the rest now.  Euro is not nearly as hot as worried.  Definitely hot for early June but probably not record breaking.
