Rd9108 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 only 2.25 fell at NWS at the airport. I'm guess it was maybe slightly higher around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPITSnow Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Honestly we got off a bit lucky. The central part of the state is getting crushed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd think areas under that heavy band earlier had to have recorded at least .5-1 more than they got out at the airport but that's pure speculation.

Gordo74 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Over the last 2 days, according to my ambient weather station here in Ross, we got 3.60". My station in southern Somerset Co got 5.11". The local amish rang and stated we have "some cleaning up to do" from the creek that runs through the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Chilly this morning. About 52. Needed a jacket, was pretty nice though and had that Fall feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could knock a couple degrees off that tomorrow morning, 40s possible. Looks like a perfect early fall stretch coming up. Should have a below normal Labor Day weekend to complete the trifecta of below normal temperatures on summer holiday weekends this year. Models are fairly consistent in bringing the ridge back next weekend but it’s way too early to think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rd9108 Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Places out east got hammered. Ef4 tornado ripped through NJ. 10+ inches of rain fell in parts and it was just pure chaos. I saw a radar graphic of a place in Tennessee got 17 inches of rain in 3 hours. This storm while not on the level of Katrina sure did a lot of damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Some hot weather stats from around the region: Second warmest summer on record at Erie Seventh warmest summer on record at Morgantown Eighth warmest summer on record at Wheeling (a lot of missing data here from 1954-1997, but this was a period of mostly mild summers - only 1988, 1991 and 1995 are really candidates to be on this list, maybe 1973, 1983, 1987). Also, warmest on record at Dubois (tying last year) but records only go back to 1963, as there is no station thread for this site: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PghPirates27 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Is it mostly because the high temps were higher or the lows were higher? just curious because it just felt like the days weren’t too too hot but the nights were a over average for the most part. No facts to back that up just how it felt to me. just wondering what is driving most of the records, the highs or the lows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably lows, because there weren't many 90 degree days (below average on those). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the guy used Morgantown, Erie, Wheeling and Dubois, but not Pittsburgh. But I would say lows, at least at Pittsburgh. June was +1.7 for highs and +2.0 for lows, July was -1.0 for highs and -0.2 for lows, and August was +1.9 for highs and +3.1 for lows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PghPirates27 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Is there any historical Diurnal air temperature variation for Pittsburgh anywhere out there? I'd love to go check that out over the past 10-20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when looking at Pittsburgh that has about 150 years of data, this year isn't too impressive overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll still have a hard time convincing me that we have much more than 73 years of data that isn’t at the very least somewhat suspect. September 1881 had the same average temperature as July 2020? I mean, come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Is there a reason that there are frost and freeze warnings all the way to the Atlantic coast and down to TN. But not here? Forecast is for 31 from the NWS. Did we already have one that I missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
