TheClimateChanger Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Wow, this looks brutal. It has been above normal 19 of the last 20 months at Pittsburgh, and this would make it 25 of 26. JB seems skeptical but smart money is probably on this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao two things, one Bastardi can't get shit right half of the time. Two that's a ridiculous forecast to even look at. We can't even predict a snowstorm 4 days out let alone what the temps will be like for the next 6 months. Odds are they will most likely be above normal since we seem to be in a cycle of above normal temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwad Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Mesoscale Discussion 0151 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0119 PM CST Wed Mar 05 2025 Areas affected...Northeastern West Virginia...northern Virginia...western Pennsylvania Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 051919Z - 052115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Damaging wind and hail threat may increase with thunderstorm development this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Diurnal heating along a secondary cold frontal boundary located across West Virginia into western Pennsylvania has allowed for convective development over the last 30-60 minutes. Temperatures have warmed into the 60s ahead of this boundary, yielding around 500 J/kg of SBCAPE to develop. Looking at the mid-levels, a 500 mb 90-100 kt jet continues to move northward across the area, supporting 0-6 km shear around 90-100 kts. CAM guidance suggests further development is possible along the boundary through the afternoon. Given strong shear profiles, some loosely organized cells may pose a risk for damaging wind and hail. Convective trends will be monitored over the next couple of hours for potential watch issuance. ..Thornton/Mosier.. 03/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mailman Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Still three days away... .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... KEY MESSAGES: - Weekend severe weather potential and flooding potential. - A brief cooldown Monday, with a warmup into mid-week. ------------------------------------------------------------------- There is increasing confidence in the next disturbance passing through this weekend. The most likely timing remains, Saturday for the warm front, with a strong pressure gradient Saturday afternoon with enhanced low level flow in the warm sector. This will need to continue to be monitored for severe development, with ensemble plumes fairly confident on buoyancy, but unsure on just how much. This might suggest a primary threat of damaging winds. The main cold front is most likely to pass late Saturday into early Sunday. Rainfall amounts are quite variable, between 0.5 and 1.5 inches between the 25th and 75th percentile. Marginal flooding conditions are also possible as the cold front slowly moves through. Synoptic winds are also forecast at 20 to 30 mph (25th to 75th percentile). Behind the cold front, a brief cool down to near-normal is expected with moderate confidence, followed by a warm-up back above normal by mid-week.

blackngoldrules Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I'm definitely in spring mode now. Hard to believe the anniversary of the blizzard of 93 is coming up. That was 32 years ago! I was still in high school and now I'm turning 50 this year. Lol Sent from my SM-S931U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PIT: 79F HLG: 81F MGW: 80F ZZV: 80F PHD: 78F The only days that have been at or above 79 this early in the season are 3/8/2000 (80), 3/11/1876 (80), and 3/14/1990 (79). Was hoping we could squeeze out a couple more degrees and follow up our latest 81 ever recorded last November with our earliest 81 ever recorded, but it wasn’t to be.

TheClimateChanger Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The first 15 days of March have been very, with a mean of 58.3F - the 7th warmest on record. Last year saw the 2nd warmest period with a mean 3F warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Odd cloud movement with these storms. In-between two bands, getting some light rain now. May be enough to take some of the bite out of the main line, but time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the windows were going to get blown out. We don't typically get hit straight on like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 A couple of tornado warnings now in effect east of Pittsburgh. In addition, a wind gust to 76 mph was recorded at Zanesville earlier, as well as a gust to 70 mph at Akron-Canton Airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinook Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 dual tornado warnings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 That cell that just went through here just got warned for tornado... Not suprised. My son and I were watching the cloud deck approach and I swear it looked like we could see the clouds rotating, or almost moving perpendicular to the storm morion, then all hell broke lose. May have just dodged a bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although would like to safely see one, one day. Not going to complain about missing a tornado. Lol Still not sure what we saw. The clouds were moving so fast on approach so maybe it was an illusion of perspective or something, but it sure looked like a very broad area of rotation high up in the approaching cloud deck. Won't forget this one for awhile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk on the NWS people showed some ominous looking clouds so I wouldnt be surprised if what you saw was actually some rotation especially since the line became tornado warned just east.
