    Holy crap, this opens up a whole new world for me. I’m going to spend way too much time in there.

    PM me if you want to know more. I can see what I have bookmarked that might be useful to you without cluttering up this thread.

    Depends on what you’re looking for honestly. I can manipulate it pretty well to figure out, say, what are the highest and lowest September temperatures ever recorded at one particular location, but I’ve never used any of the multi-station tools or anything. I’m no expert, just a guy who likes stats.

    You can access a lot of it using the parameters of your choice at https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org for whatever NWS forecast office and location you choose.

    That’s 2 GFS runs in less than a day with snow in PA.
  6. TimB
    That’s more than we have at PIT (31 on 9/19/1959).

    Gives you an idea of how ridiculous the pattern would have to be to squeeze out a T in September. It’s really not plausible (but again, it’s happened once in Pittsburgh). As for records, verbatim that gives us a high of about 43 at PIT on 9/29. We have 5 September days in our records with highs in the 40s, none since 1950, and none with a high below 46. MDT has done it once: a high of 48 on 9/28/1984.

    We’re talking about a low center that retrogrades from Scranton to Traverse City, MI in 36 hours.
  9. TimB
    Indeed, not counting on a cut-off retrograding low.

    Clown map time:
  11. TimB
    Verbatim, would probably be a T at PIT. Temp at 18z on 9/29 is 38.
  12. TimB
    540 line is down to TN/GA line.

    GFS in mid-winter form already:

    I think this adjusts down another notch with this afternoon’s release.
  15. TimB
    Has kept PIT from getting past 64 so far. Achieving 15 more degrees this afternoon to get to the forecast high will be difficult with September sun angle.
  16. TimB
    Also hope this fog holds on as long as possible and cuts into our high temp today.

    It’s definitely been better than what I was dreading. The humidity has been brutal, but even that broke last night, if only for 12 hours or so. Don’t think I’ll complain too much about a stretch in September where we only get into the low 80s (maybe mid-80s a day or two if we overperform). PBZ’s one forecaster that actually writes good discussions had this to say:

    All of the models seem to be on board with that mid-week frontal passage. Overnight runs were exactly what I wanted to see.
  19. TimB
    Hey, isn’t September 29th pretty much the same sun angle as....the sun angle of the Blizzard of 93?
  20. TimB
    MDT is at 41 with rain on that panel. But the big news is, digital snow for PA has officially begun.
  21. TimB
    Some areas of Potter/Tioga get 6+” Kuch.
  22. TimB
    EC keeps the ugly dewpoints over all of PA through the end of its run.
  23. TimB
    12z GFS does what it should in September. Warm -> cold front in 8 days or so -> seasonable with mostly sub-60 dewpoints -> chilly with a 540 line through almost all of PA (actually dips to the VA/NC border at the end).
  24. TimB
    65? Foreclosure doesn’t sound like comfort to me, and that’s what I’d be facing if I set mine at 65.
  25. TimB
    Not 2. 0.2
