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. I mean, yeah if the threat lessens, good. Widespread damage and power outages are not good.

Rd9108 Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Well literally a carbon copy of last Saturday. Most likely will not work tomorrow since I'll most likely be dealing with wires down all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donyewest Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Damage reports/pictures on the KPIT Twitter are fairly significant, these winds were serious. Some *big* trees came down up just north of us (on powerlines no less). I was >< this close to pulling out the generator for the fridge and deep freezer.

TimB Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Most of the wind issues came with that line of storms. The non-thunderstorm gusts seemed pretty run of the mill, but PIT gusted to 60 and AGC to 69 when the storm came through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS discussion hinted at 80 or even higher by Wednesday with a shot at the record of 83 if frontal timing is slow like non-GFS models are hinting at. I hope the 18z RGEM is overdone, but this would be the earliest 86 on record at PIT by almost a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted we are losing prime climo so it doesn't stick around. I'll honestly be amazed if we don't atleast get one noteworthy storm this year. I mean even 3-6 is noteworthy at this point.

The two 85s are the earliest 85s on record. NWS is currently carrying a high around 81 for Wednesday. TWC says 83.

TimB Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Yeah 70s in early April and even in March aren’t uncommon at all, but we’re still talking well above normal. Even 80s the first week of April or before happens in about 20% of years and has happened as recently as 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say we had a few hot days at the end of April 2017, then there’s 2002 which had a few days get to 86 or so in the middle of the month. That one isn’t as noteworthy here as it is on the east coast, where it’s the standard-bearer for early season heat. NYC got to 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Daily record is 83. The record earliest: 85: 4/2/2010 86: 4/11/1930 87: 4/17/1896 88: 4/18/1896 (actual high that day was 90) So if we overperform, we’re talking about temperatures a full week or two before they’ve ever been observed.
