Kicked the humidity up a few notches again but might shape up to be a pleasant evening. Well, I meant the lack of power, but yeah it is nice right now.

Yesterday was the first storm that actually hit us and it wasn't all that bad. Most of them have been missing just to the west or east. Sorry for those of you dealing with problems. I've seen lots of down trees and flooding elsewhere, including my own old 'hood in Morgantown. Actually, I've always been curious about this microclimate split we seem to have between north of the city and south. For whatever reason, it seems south of the city gets much less incidence of true severe. Does anyone happen to know why? Is it simple terrain/geography? Disagree on the not bad part. This is one of the worst storms I’ve ever seen in the north hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Any word if a survey was done in the north hills? Wildwood country club had multiple trees snapped in half and uprooted and one spot appeared to be 100mph plus winds. I’m just a bit surprised no survey crew was sent out?

Rd9108 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm guessing Pittsbirgh rarely ever gets a moderate-high severe outlook. Seems like enhanced is our usual max for severe storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The photo that was shared was impressive, and likely indicated very high gusts. Would have like to have gotten an estimate as I am fairly certain there were 80-100 mph gusts in areas of the north hills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted June 16, 2021 Author Share Posted June 16, 2021 I have a feeling this will be one of those summers that doesn't reach 90 here. It's nothing more than a feeling, so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me says it’s good that they’re not surveying, because if they were surveying it would quite possibly be because there was an incredible amount of damage or even injuries/deaths. But yes, I’d like to know what those gusts would be estimated at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

north pgh Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Not looking for severe thunderstorms but would like to sit on the porch and watch some lightning and general thundershowers. The damn warm air aloft strikes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday maybe, if we’re below 70 by midnight Monday night. Looks like we’ll bounce back closer to average pretty quick. But yeah, looks like chances of hitting 90 in June are on life support.

KPITSnow Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 These last two days were brutal. With the humidity it was just absolutely oppressive and the fact it didn’t get below 71 last night is just disgusting. Tomorrow and Wednesday are going to be glorious. Give me that type of weather all summer. I just don’t see what anyone finds fun about 85-90 with 70 degree dewpoints. It is gross. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, but there’s the rub. Our climo doesn’t seem to allow for many days in that 85-95 range with comfortable dews once you get past about mid-June. Maybe a few in the low end of that temperature range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
