  1. That time the ‘boys had a chance to score the most points in a Super Bowl...
  2. At least we know what we’ll get with Rudolph. Something like 17/26, 124 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT, no passes that travel 10+ yards in the air, and if the defense can hold the opponent to 14 points or less we have a chance to win.
  3. I hope to god I never have to watch 4 consecutive quarters of Dwayne Haskins.
  4. But then you contrast it with Pittsburgh, and it seems to be the same as most other weather stats here. 8 of our top 10 occurred in the pre-Pittsburgh International era. The longest streak was 70 (1949) with no others above 46. If you limit it to stats observed at PIT (dates back to 1948) the 28 days ending August 31 is #5, just ahead of the streaks in 1988, 2012, and 2020, but falling short of 1995 and 2011 (all of the well-known recent hot summers except 2016).
  5. Several comments here. 1. it’s 3 days short of a record. 2. this is the first time in recorded history that MDT made it through July and August without dropping below 60. 3. Five of the top ten have been in the last 6 years.
  6. Could knock a couple degrees off that tomorrow morning, 40s possible. Looks like a perfect early fall stretch coming up. Should have a below normal Labor Day weekend to complete the trifecta of below normal temperatures on summer holiday weekends this year. Models are fairly consistent in bringing the ridge back next weekend but it’s way too early to think about that.
  7. Looks like 5th place has been achieved at MDT. 4.74” as of 3:56 if my math is right.
  8. Solid film. Pertinent to recent deaths, too, as Ed Asner (RIP) was in it.
  9. Etna’s Facebook page posted this (don’t mind the caps and typos):
  10. A quick Twitter search says yes, Millvale is flooding. Closed to bus traffic.
  11. There was a school bus stuck in floodwaters down at the bottom of Shaler, but the issue there is apparently that someone won’t fix a broken pipe on their property and it floods several times a year. Kids were evacuated safely.
  12. Obligatory “if this were winter, we’d have dry slotted already” comment.
  13. 0z (technically the first model run of fall, by the way) looks ever so slightly better than the 18z HRRR, but still 3.6” in Pittsburgh and 4+ in southern and eastern sections of the county. Also, with almost all of the remaining precip falling after midnight, might be time to remind ourselves of this - all days in our history where 3+” has fallen:
  14. My pumpkin beer of choice tonight is from Rusty Rail, a nod to the fine folks of Central PA as we all ride out this storm.
  15. Hot take here: some have seen more rain already than they will during the main event. Several PWS in Allegheny County already at or above 3”.
  16. 0z on 9/1 has arrived. You know what that means.
  17. I see they extended the flash flood watch NW another tier of counties.
  18. The key here is that unlike the 12z model suite, the 18z HRRR total doesn’t include what fell early this afternoon.
  19. 18z HRRR looks ugly. 2” QPF and it’s only up to 9z.
  20. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Euro has shifted.....north. Also, 0.68” officially at PIT in a half hour.
  21. Looks like some PWS in the east end are reporting 1.5”+ already. Dormont area too.
  22. I edited the above post. I think it was the other convective models that wanted to push it south, as much as you can trust those. NAM and HRRR both had a slight increase in qpf in the immediate area. That’s the thing here, it’s just like winter. No clarity about anything. At least we know the p-type this time.
