Ahoff Posted August 29, 2022 Author Share Posted August 29, 2022 Might have a shot at a late season 90 today. It is hot out there right now (11:45 am). Edit: May not with rain so close. This was probably our last shot at 90 for the year. I'd expect mid 80s at times in September, but doesn't seem the recent pattern is for extreme heat, just occasional warmer than normal days.

I wouldn’t rule out a 90 in September, this pattern looks decisively above normal. I know it will take a +12 to +15 departure to get to 90 in the first half of September, but the GFS in particular is putting us at or above 90 at some point in almost every run.

PghPirates27 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I made it to 90.1 earlier. Dropped to 74.1 within the last hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's done that many times this year, even sending us to nearly 100 multiple times this year, and it never panned out. I'd say we top out at 88 for September. This summer has mostly under performed models it seems. Though, September would be the month when we hit 90 again, after blanking in August and almost not making it in July, lol.

TimB Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Anyhow, GFS and EC are now way out of phase during that period mid-next week. GFS looks near-record hot under a massive ridge, EC has a trough in the east and near perfect conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it can't happen, it just doesn't seem likely this year. Those late September 90s are not common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the region has seen way more 90+ days (as in double digits). Pittsburgh has only had 4 days, but Morgantown has had 15, Youngstown 10, Canton/Akron, OH 16, Cleveland 13. Even Erie has had 5, and DuBois (1800') 4. And I should note the 4 days is the official numbers from PIT Airport. YMMV, as AGC has had 9 90+ days. And I'm sure if there were still weather observations taken in the city, it would easily be in the double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
