Ahoff Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 With it being the start of meterological summer, I thought we should start talking about the weather in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 91 days until meteorological fall, but who’s counting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Also, looks like the magnitude of next week's heat is backing off a bit, there are still a few 90s popping up, but not multiple days of 90s in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Seems big heat is backing off even more. Boring. But give me 80 and sunny and that’s alright by me. So, hopefully rain is kept to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, hopefully rain is kept to a minimum. I can get behind that, minimal rain would mean the humidity has been kept at bay. The 6z GFS run looks very wet (5.1” over the model run) but it largely seems like most runs of the models haven’t been notably wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like, for now, it is an unstable pattern, with pop ups at times, but mainly dry area wide most days. Low humidity would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humidity seems high for the most part, though maybe we’ll get a few days here and there where dewpoints drop into the 50s. That’s about the best we can really ask for in June anyway.

The first half of the 8 day heat wave last July was low humidity and felt great. Second half you could feel the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in AZ for a few years (not Phoenix, that’s too hot) but even 100-105 feels pretty decent at least in the shade when the humidity is almost nonexistent. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes. I’ll take that over even a temperature of 75 and a dewpoint of 70. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Shaping up to be a beautiful two days. What a difference a well makes. I think we make it to 86-87 today. 87-89 tomorrow. Less than 10% chance of hitting 90 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I expect 85 or 86 for a high tomorrow now. So much for a heat wave, but can't wait to see how close to 100 Burlington, VT, Syracuse, NY and Portland, ME get.

All 3 of your favorite places that get hotter than Pittsburgh on a regular basis sit at 400 feet or lower, while KPIT is at like 1200 feet. All 3 are at least 5 degrees ahead of us at this juncture and probably have less cloud cover at the moment than we do. I’d be surprised if today tops out even a degree higher than yesterday. Edit: KSYR is reporting mostly cloudy. So maybe not correct on the cloud cover. Late afternoon update: Syracuse has reached 91, Burlington 94. Temps stalled at Portland so they didn’t get to 90 but are still ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps stalled at Portland so they didn’t get to 90 but are still ahead of us. So, I wasn’t wrong. May have reached 88. I have the weather app on the phone set to KPIT and it held at 88 for a while. Usually it’s pretty good, sometimes it’s off a degree, but only every once in a while. Update: Nope, 87. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, Syracuse gets 3x the snow we do and Burlington gets double our snow. Much easier to get colder when your climo allows you to get and maintain snow cover, which we all know happens very rarely in Pittsburgh except for this past February.

But that's my point, they are able to get that kind of cold and this kind of heat, being much farther north than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
