I would say all possibilities are still on the table for how hot or cool the end of August will be, the models are all over the place (as is usually the case in the 8-14 day range).

They finally put it in their discussion today, along with possible flooding concerns.

MDT has those?

Went to Pittsburgh Beerfest the other night with thousands of other unmasked people. Hoping for the best.

If I don’t get covid during my layover at Hartsfield-Jackson it’ll be a miracle.

Still hopeful in the fact that some of these runs have the cooler weather in fantasyland after the upcoming warmth. Also still have a trip to Cancun on my schedule the last week of October. I’m flying Delta.

It looks like a dreary week. Cool days, warm nights, lots of humidity. At least it gives the heat the boot for a few more days.

I’m not expecting a big precip event here and I know you’re not at this point in your desert microclimate, but you need it more than I do so push it east.

Ah, I see the remnants of Fred coming right through my backyard there. Funny enough, the QPF bullseye through 60 on the 3k is also in Union County, though it’s misleading. Convection out ahead of the main system.

Looks like the QPF bullseye on the NAM is in the Centre/Union/Snyder County area.

High of 78 today ends our streak of 80°+ days at 12, the longest so far this summer. Last year it was 37 days in a row.

Last day of GFS runs that don’t include met fall!

Lock in this clown map (goes with several afternoons in the 60s):

Yeah, not the same situation, here either and I think I’m on the opposite side of town.

I think it was an “oh sh*t, we better cover the imminent thunderstorm activity.”

SPC upgraded south of Pillow to a slight risk for severe.

I won’t say I’ve never managed to squeeze in time to watch a model run or post on AmericanWx while giving my wife time, but I actively try to avoid it.

Sleep wasn’t listed on your priority list. Where does it fit in? After weather and baseball, of course.

Welcome back! We’re a farm team for Washington and others in baseball, so might as well have the MA folks return the favor.

That’s the problem, he’ll get bogged down in some other sort of off-field distraction before he gets his chance. Mason Rudolph didn’t have a bad night, but it was a typical Mason Rudolph night (8/9, 77 yards, no points on the board, no spark). Much rather have a QB that can lead the offense down the field.

Not to detract from the weather matters at hand, and skip this post if you don’t want to read about sports or the Steelers, but two words: Dwayne Haskins.

Last September was great. Run it back.

Winter is just inherently better, when everyone is on the same team. Apologies if I ever made fun of you for wanting heat.

Interesting, the one in this subforum never did that.

It’s complicated, and I think I’ve discussed my position on this before. When I say I like severe, I don’t mean I want an EF-5 tornado to rip through downtown Pgh. I like a nice thunderstorm with wind every now and again. Not the kind of wind that snaps large trees in half, but I don’t mind seeing tree branches and limbs laying around after a good storm. Would love to see a tornado in the flesh just once before I die, but not in a populated area and certainly not in my backyard. There are severe weather fans all over these forums and most of them are probably not sociopaths. What form of weather that I don’t like causes more deaths than any other? I don’t agree with people who like it, but I don’t fault them either. I know no one is rooting for death. Everyone has their preferences.
