Number 22 for the year.  93 degrees.

Was in Florida all last week.  See we are picking up where we left off, lol.

So no storms again, lol?

92

At least 93 again today.

AGC has surged to 97 on a south wind, wow!

Half of July has been in the 90s.

Officially 90 at PIT already.

At least 92, maybe 93.

93 it is.

Edit:  Actually, 94!

At least 92.  There’s a few 93 5 min obs. 

Think we’re getting there today.  Noon temp is 89.

We’re making a run at 90.

And there it is. 83 at PIT at 8am, an all time record for that hour. Also a heat index of 87, which is also the highest on record for 8am.

Looks like we may have tied the 10am 88 temperature as well.

I'd like to know what happened on July 24, 1989.  How did the temperature jump more than 10 degrees from 8am to 9am, then drop 6 at least 6 degrees at 10 am?  Considering the high that day was 94, and there was no rain, I don't see how that would happen.  That has to be an error, right?

92 again today, second heat wave in the books, and looks like a third maybe Saturday-Tuesday.

I think 90 is a guarantee but there are plenty of clouds upstream associated with convection ahead of a cold front in eastern Ohio, so it’s a race to see how hot we can get before those clouds and the front get here.

Yeah, there will be clouds, but 94 feels more likely today than yesterday, lol.

Holy sh*t!  87 at 9am.

We’re hitting 90 I think.  Maybe that 94 is in play.

Heat advisory may have been more appropriate today.

Still around 80!  If we have sun, it will get to 90+ again.

8 straight 5-minute observations of 90. Got to think even with the rounding at some point, it ticked up sufficiently to reach a true 90F reading. But yeah, cloud cover was much too heavy for to see 94+. Not sure where the NWS was expecting to see heat advisory criteria met today, let alone heat index values up to 104F.

Yeah, it was a head scratcher.  Saw the satellite this morning on the news and it looked pretty clear those Beryl clouds were getting here.

Here comes the slow climb, lol.

Just ticked to 91, lol.  Knew we’d get there, but it’s always weird.

We’re stalling a little bit getting to 90.  I think we’ll still make it but being stuck at 89 since right before 2pm is classic Pittsburgh.

So we just all moved to Wichita, huh?

Was in the Tornado Warning, but dropped before it made it here.  Just heavy rain for about 10 minutes and a little breezy.  Nothing crazy, which is good.

Well, Mark Margavage says unlikely, but I'm not too convinced by the logic employed to reach that conclusion. 

 

Yeah, that's a pretty stupid reasoning.  July and August are warmer months than June on average, that kind of heat can happen again during those two months.

Anyway, CPC thinks the 1st week of July could be toasty.

80 degrees already. 

Shouldn’t be too much longer and it’s over, lol.
