I knew the risks when I joined a weather forum, that other people with the same obsession would help me find more and better ways for it to invade my life.
-
Wait, you mean I can watch GFS runs on the big screen?
-
He and the namesake of Pillow are not actually related, just in case anyone thought that wasn’t a joke.
-
Yes, I vote for Pillow to be the proud official climate site for the entire CTP forecast area. It would be a great way to preserve the legacy of General Pillow, proud great-great-grandfather of the MyPillow guy.
-
Well yeah, there’s the UHI crap too. For comparison, Allegheny County airport (records go back to 1935) located much closer to the city, has only reached the 40s twice in July.
-
Another big difference between your climo and mine. We’ve been in the 40s on 19 of the 31 days of July, including as low as 42 on 7/9/1963. And our oldest record low for any day in July dates back to 1960, so it’s all in the KPIT era.

There are definitely still concerns that linger in the back of my mind, but most are “what ifs” unless and until there comes a variant that is proven to get around the vaccines with any sort of efficiency, so I’ve chosen not to waste much of my mental energy thinking about it.
-
It’s a little west of the area where it snowed. I should probably be following the Delta thing closer than I actually am but I just haven’t prioritized covid on the list of issues I think about anymore.
-
Even if they don’t extend the restrictions on Americans past the 21st (but I think they will), that area probably isn’t reachable by 8am on the 22nd.
-
With apologies to Sauss and Voyager and Western PA’s leading summer poster and a certain orange tagger and a certain green tagger in an unnamed subforum, there may be light at the end of this tunnel.
-
Just kidding, the “entertainment purposes only” portion allows a massive Canadian trough to beat down the ridge and push 40s into PA.
-
Forgot we’re getting close to the date when climo starts working in our favor.
-
Ah, the ridge we knew was coming looks like it might finally make an appearance later on the GFS.
-
Don’t you just hate when that happens? That and when you’re expecting, say, 4 days of heat, but the front keeps slowing down and you get through the first day and there are still 4 more days of heat, then you get through the second day and there are STILL 4 more days of heat, etc.?
-
Just before they upgraded the GFS, which began its run of superiority then. GFS has really cut those numbers the past few runs. Loving it. Also currently a rain induced 69/68 at noon in the ‘burgh.
-
That stuff can stay far, far away.
-
That’ll keep a certain select few masochists in a certain region happy.
-
I’d say we’re into those doldrums of summer where the models don’t show much of anything interesting.

Western PA/Pittsburgh Summer Discussion 2021
TimB replied to Ahoff's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
SPC finally pulled the trigger on a severe t-storm watch for Allegheny County and points north. These slow moving, training storms are never any good unless you want flooding. Edit: got some nice garden variety storms imby. A little wind and a lot of lightning and not a ton of rain. -
How much for Pillow?
-
“You guys told me there would be severe weather yesterday so I cancelled all my plans for the entire day and didn’t see a single drop of rain. If I were that wrong about anything at my job I’d be fired!”
-
Even then, the forecast discussions (which often contain technical terms and a glossary of such terms) are accessible to anyone in the general public who wants to look at them. But I can’t imagine a significant portion of the populace knows what an NWS area forecast discussion is.
-
I post regularly on weather forums. Not sure there’s much to disqualify me from being a weirdo.
-
I am envious of you every time you mention this.
-
It does look like a sleepy little town.
