  1. 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.
  2. Looks like 5th place has been achieved at MDT. 4.74” as of 3:56 if my math is right.
  3. Solid film. Pertinent to recent deaths, too, as Ed Asner (RIP) was in it.
  4. Etna’s Facebook page posted this (don’t mind the caps and typos):
  5. A quick Twitter search says yes, Millvale is flooding. Closed to bus traffic.
  6. 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.
  7. Obligatory “if this were winter, we’d have dry slotted already” comment.
  8. 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:
  9. 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.
  10. 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”.
  11. 0z on 9/1 has arrived. You know what that means.
  12. I see they extended the flash flood watch NW another tier of counties.
  13. The key here is that unlike the 12z model suite, the 18z HRRR total doesn’t include what fell early this afternoon.
  14. 18z HRRR looks ugly. 2” QPF and it’s only up to 9z.
  15. To the surprise of absolutely no one, the Euro has shifted.....north. Also, 0.68” officially at PIT in a half hour.
  16. Looks like some PWS in the east end are reporting 1.5”+ already. Dormont area too.
  17. 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.
  18. Yeah, early returns from the NAM and earlier runs of the HRRR looked promising for less rain. Everything else has made a decisive shift north. Actually, not sure where I got that. Maybe from the other convective models, or from haste. Wasn’t the NAM or HRRR. Other thing is these ongoing slow-moving storms this afternoon ahead of the main event. Flash flood warnings in effect this afternoon.
  19. The short range models gave me hope of a slight south nudge, but the globals are coming in north.
  20. North. Yuck. Note that a solid inch of the 4.3 at PIT comes from this afternoon’s convection. Not that that helps too much with any potential flooding issues.
  21. But would he leapfrog Mason Rudolph on the depth chart? Because if not, we’re talking about a 3rd string QB that would likely never see the field. It’s not like Duck Hodges ever saw any meaningful.....oh wait.
  22. But would you rather have a cheap bum in Haskins or an expensive bum in Newton?
  23. Haskins is expected to make the roster, per sources, if that affects the equation.
