Just making my way through the comments now, lots of reports / pictures of some pretty crazy stuff out of New Kensington. At least I know I wasn't seeing things lol.

TimB Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Sounds like Latrobe gusted to 89 during the storms yesterday. https://x.com/NWSPittsburgh/status/1901611673460375904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Also, Tuesday 3/11 through Sunday 3/16 is the earliest in a calendar year we’ve ever had 6 straight 70 degree days. Previous earliest was 3/13-23/2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Looks like we have a fifth tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 It looks like we should see our seventh day of 70+ this month today. We also have had a couple other days in the upper 60s. A 7th day would match 2012 for most through the first 19 days of March. Prior to 1990, there had never been more than 4, even including records from downtown. Can't complain. March has definitely come in as a benign lamb if you ignore the high winds and tornados. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 In addition to temperatures in the mid to upper 70s today, gusty winds and very low relative humidities will promote an enhanced risk of wildfire spread today. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for parts of the region. Enjoy the exceptional early spring weather but take care if you are going to be around any open flames today and certainly hold off of burning any brush.

TimB Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Current obs of 79/16 at PIT. 9% relative humidity. Lowest relative humidity ever observed on a 4pm obs at PIT. If you throw out the 6% at 10am on 7/29/96, which is definitely erroneous, this is now tied for the 2nd lowest relative humidity ever observed at any hour at PIT, behind just the 6pm obs on 3/30/07. I looked at the unrounded csv file and it’s actually a hair lower than the other 9% obs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Impressive. Wonder if we see our first 80F reading today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hourly obs of 80/14 is now officially the lowest relative humidity ever observed at PIT (8%). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Record highs today at Pittsburgh (80F), Morgantown (83F), Wheeling (81F) and DuBois (76F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Officially a high of 81 at PIT. This is the earliest ever 81 on record, just 134 days after we recorded the latest ever 81 on record on 11/5/2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted Thursday at 12:01 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:01 PM Today might wind up as the high water mark for March temperatures. Current forecast has many days in the 40s or low 50s for the remainder of the month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only lasted like 5 minutes, not the hail, the entire rain shower. The hail & wind was only like 30 seconds. Actually clearing up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current forecast has many days in the 40s or low 50s for the remainder of the month. Hmm, while the statement will probably still be true, given the recent cooldown and continued cooler weather for the next several days, it now looks like there will be a pretty substantial warmup for the last few days of the month with a couple more days in the 70s looking probable.

TheClimateChanger Posted Monday at 08:40 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:40 PM Wow, I just noticed PIT had a gust to 54 mph at the top of the hour, without a wind advisory or even a special weather statement. I guess there is a hazardous weather outlook which notes gusts of up to 54 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClimateChanger Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Looking solid for us. Kind of on the tripoint between broiling with average precipitation, sultry and thunder-filled, and brutally humid and wet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
