That little bit of rain at lunchtime was the remnants of the MCS out of the Midwest. Sunshine and instability are on the rise now, could lead to some storms out ahead of the cold front.

Gordo74 Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Ho hum. A whole lotta nothing in Ross north of the city. Quite a pleasant summer evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nothing big today in the immediate Pittsburgh area for anyone who wanted it, but there are some spectacular days/nights ahead. Been looking forward to the 5-7 day stretch starting tomorrow since it first showed up on the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Seems we nearly always overperform on these days following a summer cold front, but rarely by a whole 6 degrees. Point & click at PIT is for a high of 74 today, but lo and behold, it’s currently 80: Edit: still clinched our below normal July for the first time in 7 years.

Rd9108 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Somebody needs to do a study of route 8 right around 228. It has literally stormed there 5 times this year every Wednesday. Meanwhile back home nothing. Our golf league keeps getting rained out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Accuweather's Fall forecast says warm start to Fall with strong storm chances in September. Then turns colder in the back half of October and November, with snow chances in November. Sounds like a wild Fall if accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the usual recent +5 September departure, not that I believe their outlooks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, doesn’t really say it’s going to be hot, but says warmth sticks around. Anyway last year was a beautiful Fall all around. Wouldn’t mind a repeat. I looked up their forecast last year. They blew it. Said the heat of last summer would continue through the Fall. It did not, so we’ll see what truly happens this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did not, so we’ll see what truly happens this year. Last fall was pretty solid. Relatively normal Sept with several mornings in the upper 30s to low 40s which is rare these days, fairly normal Oct with a first freeze around when it should be, above normal Nov with an early-by-recent-standards first measurable snow, and really only kept above normal by a very warm period in the middle of the month. I could live with that. The only downside to recent falls is that September has largely been another summer month, and last year ended that streak. On another note, 90s likely finally return early in the week, but it once again looks more muted and short-lived than it did at one point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we’ve been missing the projected highs the past few days. Bet we miss 90. Maybe around 88 at the peak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say 90 is attainable at least once this week but those 92’s we hit in late June might hold as the hottest days this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest few 5-min obs were 90, but of course that’s probably 89. Was the car thermometer at 95 somewhere on route 28? Seems to be the hottest place my car goes.

Could even be the hottest day of the year if storms don’t keep temps down. Models are slowly cancelling the weekend cool down. We’ve entered that pattern where the hot days are hot and the “cool” days are slightly above average. Hope it doesn’t persist as late into fall as it did in 2015-2019.

If the temperatures drop and the dew point rises, I can deal with that, but it's that 85, 90+ and 70 DP that is unbearable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
