Tree branches and a lot of debris on the roads. Rain rate of 5.4"/hr. Heaviest rate I've had since moving here in 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were south of the city where the snow hole was last winter? North Pgh and I's readings are almost always consistent. Not trying to antagonize, just looking for a data point.

Looks like the hourly obs at 2:51 was 89 so good chance we squeeze out another degree or two if we didn’t already at some point within the past hour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahoff Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 Local storm reports from the area I was in yesterday afternoon were for 61 mph wind gusts. I believe it totally. I've never seen wind like that. Kind of scary at times, especially when I was trying to close up a pop-up tent during the pre storm winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donyewest Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Really could've used some of that rain up here around Butler proper. Past few weeks all the systems leave a hole right on top of us, at least 1-2" below normal according to AHPS, hits Slippery Rock and Cranberry/Mars. Don't want it to flood or get it all at once but I've been trying to dig a drainage ditch and hammer a clothesline spike into the ground but the dirt is hard as a rock. All the grass I started in the spring is dead and gone, only dirt spots remain...can't win around here with this rainfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Let’s not lose sight of the fact that today is the last day with normals of 83/64, tomorrow it goes back to 83/63 and begins the slow descent toward winter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted July 31, 2022 Author Share Posted July 31, 2022 Looks like the later week heat is backing off, much like last week's modeled heat. Maybe some upper 80s and a low 90 possible, is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope that doesn't happen. Pretty on par with yesterday temp-wise through noon, but yesterday didn’t have cloud cover and storms and still only hit 88. I think this is part of the system that dropped another half foot of rain on parts of Missouri overnight, so the chance of excessive rainfall is definitely there. WPC has us in a slight risk and there’s a flood watch out to our south and west where the ground is more saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
