TimB Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Underperforming on high temps this week at PIT. Something to watch on these hot days coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Dewpoint of 33F at 7 pm is about as low as it gets this time of the year. Sorry for including June 1. When I selected start and end date of 5/31, it ran the numbers for the entire year. Just missed the lowest for that hour by two degrees. The dewpoint was 31F at 7 pm on May 31, 1984. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticing some lawns are starting to get that late July / early August look with some brown spots showing up. I was wondering about the dew points, pretty low for the time of year for sure. That map of nearly 0 qpf for 384hr is pretty rare in and of itself especially added onto the streak we are already on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Trying to decide if I had the choice between another 384 hours with no rain or some rain but probably higher dewpoints, which one I’d take. I think probably the dry one, but the implications might be a little worrisome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not surprising with summer temps. They usually do underperform. I imagine the easterly wind direction is the cause. Ron Smiley mentioned the winds turn SW in the coming day, so maybe it pushes those temps higher, but expectation is upper 80s at most at this time.

Ahoff Posted June 2, 2023 Author Share Posted June 2, 2023 Starting 5 degrees warmer today than yesterday, that's a good thing if we're going to try and hit 90.

Seems like dewpoints are forecast to be a little higher than when I looked yesterday (50s instead of 40s), so that probably hurts us a little.

That could actually help us a little in this scenario. Expand What I don't understand is this new pattern where places further north are hotter than Pittsburgh? These places used to be much colder than Pittsburgh year round, and that no longer appears to be the case in the summertime. DuBois reached 88F yesterday, breaking the record of 86F set in 1969. It looks like a near certainty to reach 90F+ today. The earliest 90F reading in DuBois was on June 8, 1968. Similarly, Bradford reached 86F yesterday, tying the record set just last year. Probably won't hit 90F but could come close. The earliest 90F reading at Bradford occurred just last year on June 16th. There were two 90+ readings at BFD last year (including an incredible 93F on June 22, which is one of the hotter readings ever to occur at the site). Prior to last year, it had never reached 90F+ at BFD before the month of July (dating back to 1957). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
