I'm in Florida next week so it will definitely be nice here. Hopefully, nice down in St. Pete Beach too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yeah, I'm ready for this pattern to break for a long dry spell. Pool needs drained every other day and my backyard fill project on hold because it's just so muddy. One good thing I guess, the garden is going crazy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 By the 1991-2020 normals, our normal high/low since Sunday has been 83/64, which is the highest it goes and runs through the 28th. On the 29th, it goes back to 83/63. Which means... the day when normal temps start dropping is within GFS range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted July 17, 2021 Author Share Posted July 17, 2021 It was a sneaky 87 today. It was hot, but didn’t feel quite that high. And yes, this hot, humid, daily rain and then repeat is old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 18 hours ago, Ahoff said: Not looking like it. It really isn’t, but still time for things to change. Models are steadfast on never really bringing a big ridge into this area, but if we’re talking about one rogue day hitting 90 vs. a prolonged heat wave (which I know is also on your wish list), we don’t need a massive ridge when our normal high is 83. I’m more interested in seeing if our streak of above normal July temperatures adds a 7th consecutive year, or if this is the first July since 2014 that ends up below normal. We’re sitting right at 0.0 through today and the next two weeks figure to be relatively typical for late July, so it really could go either way. Also, it has rained at my house all 7 days this week. I agree that it’s time for a pattern change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it’s time for a pattern change. You keep saying this, but I never really said I want a prolonged heat wave. I like it hot in the summer and like hitting the 90s, but I never said I wanted like two weeks of relentless heat. We had an 8 day streak last year and that's good for me. This summer is not a scorcher, that's what it's looking like, so if we hot 90 a couple more times, or none at all, it's whatever at this point. Just want dry prolonged weather now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it’s not like it was hour 384 or just one model or anything, the trend was definitely in that direction for several runs. Euro and CMC still would suggest we have at least two shots at 90 next week, GFS has diverged. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Looks like we won’t quite hit 90 this week and then another cool down…. Edit - downtown might, where I’m at they’re calling for 86/87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a week this summer I’d like to be above average, it’s next week (I’ll be at Deep Creek). But if that’s not in the cards, and it doesn’t appear to be, dry is definitely a bonus. Revisiting your “we won’t hit 90 this summer” comment, it actually hasn’t been far off. Sure, we hit 90 a couple times before the end of June, but I don’t see any way we get there more than once (tomorrow) in July, and even that is very iffy.

Yeah, it just felt like it would be one of those summers with very few if any 90s. I was in Florida all week, so I got my 90s there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
