  1. @sauss06but if this is the only time I ever get to experience joy as a Pirates fan, so be it:
  2. Ain’t that the truth. I hope I’m wrong, but I think there’s a better chance than not that the 2013 wild card game will remain my only moment of joy as a Pirates fan until the day I die.
  3. I’m convinced the smoke cuts off at least a degree or two off the high temperature. It has to. I feel like I’m in Los Angeles.
  4. God, that’s depressing. At least you’ve gotten to see your teams, even the O’s, do something noteworthy. Thinking about the Pirates, who have won one wild card game and not won a playoff series in my 37 years on this earth, makes me miserable.
  5. Probably way too early to really think about and depends on which beach, but the GFS still looks rather dry in a lot of locations.
  6. That’s largely the same as before. No serious troughing like the models teased last week, but no serious ridging or big prolonged heat. GFS just continues to pump out ridiculous numbers for the north central US, but the pattern always seems to break down on every run long before any of that shifts east.
  7. I’ll bet that transistor NOAA radio had all the ladies flocking to you as if they were Iowa State girl or something.
  8. I would guess stratiform rain, but the precip amount for 7/5/72 at PIT is only 0.31”. Two weeks after Agnes, which as we’ve detailed before, produced ridiculously low nearly unbreakable low maxes at PIT, so that probably helped set up such a pattern. Actually it appears that pattern was already in place before Agnes, our all time record June low of 34 was set on 6/11.
  9. That is true. We have 25 July days at PIT with low maxes in the 60s, 5 in the 70s (all are exactly 70 except one, which is 71), and one with a low max of 59.
  10. I agree to a point. The bolded is probably a bridge too far in most summers for people not living in northern NY or the upper peninsula of Michigan or something.
  11. Certainly not disagreeing with that. I will say the mid 80s are much more palatable in a year like this one where they are much more prevalent. I like the cool downs, but 85 is a lot easier to stomach when the pattern doesn’t oscillate between hot and seasonable with no cool parts.
  12. I wasn’t online much this weekend either, but certainly was an interesting read RE: severe weather and some of yinz finally scoring a good rain. There weren’t even that many sports posts in those 10 pages!
  13. I feel certain I get into the 50s on Thursday morning. Then again, Pittsburgh recorded a low of 59 yesterday as well. But yesterday was just an ugly day here, a high of 82 and a low of 59, not a drop of rain, a fairly sunny afternoon, dewpoints near 60 all day, and a beautiful sunset. /s I can’t remember which model broke first from the consensus that next weekend would be cool, but that one looks like it will win this round.
  14. Models have really trended in the wrong direction for anyone who wants another break from summer this month. Sure, it looks mostly seasonable to slightly above with no big heat, but “mostly seasonable to slightly above” in PA in July means temps well into the 80s.
  15. Enjoyed some ice cream today, as well as what I would consider another fantastic summer day.
  16. Somehow the EC is once again possible to root for. Fantasyland GFS brings some ridge influence, though nothing lasting.
  17. @Bubbler86 ”Weekend trough”? You must have misheard me, I said “weakened trough.”
  18. AZ monsoon storms are some of the most incredible storms there are, at least as far as rainfall rates go.
  19. But you could forgive a Yankees fan for not knowing if whatever player they just acquired from their farm team in Pittsburgh is good.
