    Anyways, looks like little chance of sustained fall weather on the horizon.. Seems these "anomalous" ridges are becoming more common place.

    Watching the GFS run, Leslie offshore seems to be helping with blocking any eastward flow forcing everything up into Canada to our west.   A super torch is coming for early next week, +15 to 20 range on the 850s.  I hope this means a swing to an equally opposite extreme when the pattern eventually changes.  

  2. Just checked my CoCoRAHS gauge during a Steeler break:

    since 6 AM - 2.32"

    total since 6AM Friday - 3.48" as of 2:30PM today

    Yard is flooded and I got a leak.  The rain is hitting the east side of the house pretty hard which it rarely does so it found a way in somewhere.

    My Davis station is way behind, I gotta figure out what's wrong with it.  Usually it's a bug or debris stuck in the hole or the tipping cups are dirty.

  3. Time to start up again for Fall/Winter.  This late season heat looks to continue into late September.  I'm hoping this means we'll have a swing to below normal later this Fall, though all long term maps from NWS show above normal clear through the winter months.  Looks like a deluge coming late this weekend and then current GFS has Florence possibly coming into PA late next week.  Definitely some active weather to track.

    Sad News... Joe Denardo has passed away. :( One of the best on-air weathermen ever in Pittsburgh. RIP.

    I remember watching Joe's forecast as a kid in the 70's as far back as I can remember.  I remember him always using the aviation technical jargon, such as cloud ceiling, etc.   no other TV weather man did that back then.  I was just talking to someone the other day  about him reminiscing the old Pittsburgh news people.  RIP.

  5. Steelers are sucking right now so I'm going to rant about PennDOT.   The state roads are still crap around here, even major intersections like 19 & 228 with packed snow that turned into glare ice.  No signs they were treated.  You would think they would put some grit like sand mixed in with calcium chloride on it.  We saw a PennDOT truck plowing the berm at this intersection last evening with its wing plow throwing more snow back on the road than he was clearing and not treating behind.  Meanwhile Township roads and streets are pretty clear.  They plowed well and salted early yesterday so the sun and traffic could bust up the hard pack.  The state raised our gasoline tax to the highest in the country and they still can't maintain our roads.
