Hey CTP mets, if you’re reading this, give a shout-out to Pillow the next time it could be relevant in a forecast discussion (e.g., “a chance of showers and thunderstorms east of a Danville to Pillow line”).

We may be armchair meteorologists but we’re the best armchair meteorologists in the land.

Western PA/Pittsburgh Summer Discussion 2021
TimB replied to Ahoff's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
Enjoy! -
It’s just the EC (And the GFS)
-
Don’t mean to kill the mood, but...
-
Yeah, not sure I enjoy the wildfire smoke either, but I’ll take it if it means the temperature will be even 1 or 2 degrees cooler (less absurdly hot?) than it otherwise would have been.
-
No comment. But not sure I want to add any more smokiness to the air than we already have.
-
But that little bit of precip you do get to break up the perfect game reminds me of another great moment in Pirates history for @sauss06’s viewing pleasure:
-
So does the NWS forecast as if there is no wildfire smoke obscuring sunshine and keeping temps down or is the underperformance just a coincidence?
-
At least on the GFS the hour 240 map is blue and not gray in your area.
-
My condolences to you on your CMC QPF total. Ouch!
-
It’s definitely there for me. Very hazy too.
-
Not sure the heat is “just for fun/discussion purposes” when it appears inside of 240.
-
But it does follow up that heat with a nice trough that it can spend a week shifting north and east.
-
I don’t believe you did. The local temps aren’t incredible but still on the hot side, but that coast to coast ridge and the Dakotas/MN heat are notable.
-
If I were focusing solely on us, I wouldn’t have put up that map. MN state record is 115, Duluth’s is 106 and MSP is 108, I believe.
-
GFS isn’t done yet, but
-
Both of those guys are low hanging fruit for a few chuckles.
-
We’re equal opportunity here, apologies to anyone who is far-left or far-right.
-
I have this crap off and on year round so I never really know what to attribute it to. I know it’s not covid because that’s over, but AC related is a good guess.
-
Mike Lindell’s crack pipe?
-
If I were a betting man, that would be Pillow.
-
I think the GFS is overblown on the magnitude of the central heat wave, regardless of whether it advances east or not. I hope we don’t hit 93 this season let alone 97.
-
Agreed. This ain’t 1992, but it’s not 2004 either. But this heat talk makes me wish it was one of those two (Pittsburgh didn’t get to 90 in either of those summers).
-
I will, however, add that the EC does provide this “gem” of a day next Thursday:
