Maybe they are. Maybe it’s even cooler at 9z or 10z.
-
The next panel is even better:
-
Compared to the out of sync stuff we usually get, it’s pretty solid. That said, I think I’m actually rooting for the Euro, it provides the best break in the humidity and an actual truly cool morning.
-
@Bubbler86is that model agreement I see RE: the pattern at D9/10? (Granted, the EC is a bit west)
-
We’re interested in the rain chances at the new official location in extreme northern Dauphin County.
-
So the Mount Joy rain shadow saved your life?
-
I believe we had 15 here. Also, August 1995 is Pittsburgh’s hottest month on record since the airport became the official site, and the only month besides July 2020 in the top 10 including the pre-KPIT data. That’s also the last year we hit 100, though that occurred in July.
-
Speaking of gates of hell heat.
-
That said, I’d be willing to let the storm track shift a little east and sacrifice some (not all) of the heat relief if it helps any of yinz that need the rain. Move the runner to second with a sacrifice bunt, if you will.
-
I’m not expecting 5.9 inches of rain the rest of the month by any stretch. At this point, even average to slightly below average rainfall the rest of the month would cut it for me. What’s more important to me right now is keeping the heat at bay, and this run was satisfying in that regard.
-
Oh man, it loads up a near-repeat of that pattern in fantasy land. Nothing but net from downtown.
-
Being between that trough and the massive ridge could be a home run for consistent rain chances, especially for me.
-
@Bubbler86that is quite the trough on the GFS. Doesn’t provide a ton of relief except maybe NE PA, but the 540 line enters Maine.
-
Correct. Highmark Stadium, looks roughly like a high school stadium. Perfect venue for a second tier American soccer team, IMO. As you can guess, the season tickets were fairly inexpensive.
-
Nope, that’s me. A Pittsburgh Riverhounds season ticket holder, as a matter of fact. LOL.
-
It really seems to only happen occasionally, mostly in the warm season, somewhere between morning observations/forecasts for the day and the 12z model runs and not every day.
-
To keep the sports talk consolidated to the same part of the thread, I guess this is the time to note the USA basketball team finally won a game.
-
After that cool June you guys had, I’m sure everyone is ready for the heat.
-
I just don’t follow severe the way I did when I was in Wisconsin, so I rarely look at the short range models for severe (unless there’s a rare blockbuster event in PA) and don’t even read the SPC discussions as much as I used to. As you said, at this point if I’m interested in knowing what’s going to happen during a severe event anywhere, I would trust any of the severe weenies on this forum.
-
“Event” of the season. Savor it if it happens. Good luck!
-
Unfortunately you’re probably right. Depending on the day, it could mean they’re fairly certain storms will develop and could but more likely won’t reach severe levels, or it could mean there’s a solid chance storms don’t develop but if they do, look out.
-
You gotta be careful with those MRGL risk days from the SPC. I say either you get severe thunderstorms everywhere or you don’t see a drop of rain. Nothing in between.
-
And hopefully that infamous Mount Joy rain shadow can be overcome too. I’m learning all kinds of things about the geography and microclimates of the hinterlands of this state.
-
Fingers crossed that you get the best rains out of that one. Those of us that are living in a tropical jungle, however...
-
Obligatory post after looking at the overnight mid to long range models. GFS doesn’t look as trough-y in the D7-10 period as the others and more ridging than troughing on both the 0z and 6z. Mostly garden variety heat and no prolonged heat signal, though the hottest day (7/26) on the 0z GFS is pretty darn hot (94 at PIT and MDT at 18z and triple digits as close as northern Maryland). But if that stuff keeps getting kicked into fantasyland, maybe we can run out the clock.
