Ahoff Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 Where is tomorrow's rain originating from? After this stuff pushes through, the radar looks sparse, but I assume the big stuff is in whatever is currently over Oklahoma and it will pull from the Gulf? The sun right now is surprising me.

I think basically the frontal boundary sags southward but remains close enough to continue the rainy pattern, then surges back north as a warm front for Saturday and spawns more rain.

So, is tomorrow the wettest day or Saturday, or pretty even? Originally I thought I saw Friday was big day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Very heavy rain here. Lots of thunder and lightning. Water everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donyewest Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 The first warned storm around 4:30 had rainfall rates (according to MRMS) of 6.5"/hr. It was crazy here, creek across the street went up faster than the flash flood we had 1.75yrs ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To that point, today looks pretty dry. Point and click centered at the airport forecasts a similar qpf tomorrow as yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 Couple of weakish convective showers rolled through, but also tapped into that wind potential. If anywhere manages to get a stronger storm things could get real with the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 This entire pattern wasn’t even all that wet like they were saying it would be. Looks like Thursday was by far the rainiest day. That’s a win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted March 25, 2023 Author Share Posted March 25, 2023 This was a weird pattern, way drier than expected which was good. Wasn’t expecting the wind. Despite the wind, kind of a nice day today. Should be a nice one tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 2.051" since the Thursday early AM storms rolled through. I'd be ok with it if it had gently rained more/less all day but 1.134" in less than an hour on Thursday afternoon, 0.528" in 15 minutes according to the two radar sweeps, shot my nerves since there are still leaves everywhere, no plants blooming trying to soak it all up yet, so water pooled everywhere. I'm knocking on wood still because, even though the soil is inches-deep muck now, none of the trees around our property came down in the (undersold, imo) wind event today. Gettin' real tired of these Gulf Coast style 15-30min torrents that neither KPIT, the WPC, or even the SPC give much more than maybe a sentence or two like we're some afterthought up here.

Thing is, they were expecting the heaviest rain south of the city. Sounds like it was bad north too. In Allegheny County proper, maybe 1.25” or so over a 4 day period, which is above normal but not notably wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahoff Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Seems like the rainier forecast for this week is busting like over the weekend. That's good. We'll see what this weekend has, or if it can bust low again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 This is starting to look more and more like yet another garden variety wind advisory event for the lowlands. Was hoping for a 2/24/19 type event. If it’s going to be windy, might as well do it all the way. Looks like we’re going to squeeze out a just barely above normal March, keeping intact our chances at every month of 2023 being above normal.

Where do you see that? 60+ gusts don't seem garden variety. This morning Ron Smiley said he expects wind warnings to be raised soon. Now I may have missed the exact location he expects that, but he did say even Pittsburgh could see over 60 mph gusts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS seemed to be pulling back on that in some of their forecast discussions/grids/zone forecasts. I’m not sure that means anything, it seems like they’ve put the 60ish gusts back into the southern half of the county. On second thought, not sure I want a 2/24/19 type event. I think that one involved widespread power outages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
