    I’m not prematurely declaring victory. Still a lot of July to go and when it’s all said and done you probably have a good shot at getting your positive July temperature departure for the 7th year in a row.

    Not sure where to put this, but Death Valley hit 130 yesterday, making it two years in a row of reaching possibly the hottest temperature credibly recorded on earth.

    No complaints here. Of course there will be some heat at some point, but I really feel if PIT never sees 95 (or MDT never sees 100), we dodged a bullet the way this summer is going elsewhere in the nation. And living in the present and not fantasy land, my DP is in the 50s and will likely remain there all day. Official low at the airport was 54 and weather stations near me went to ~52-53. Good shot at my 6th day this month with a high in the 70s after seeing none last July. Life is good.

    I’m usually on top of these ridiculous statistical anomalies, but today I learned that they recorded a low of 107 there on 7/12/2012.

    Indeed, it seems to like to produce the most extreme scenarios in the long term, and that’s a feat even by GFS standards.

    The dreaded 18z GFS did some 18z GFS things again.

    Here’s something to take seriously: today is the 19th day of (astronomical) summer. That means we’re already over 10% of the way to the winter solstice.

    A spectacular afternoon/evening with another incredible day on tap tomorrow. More of those bonus days that were so sorely missed last July.

    Oh the QPF panels aren’t great for me either (but I guess 2” in 16 days is pretty normal for July, and I don’t think anyone out here is thinking drought anytime soon), but I do get a lot of days with bearable temps and DPs in the 50s from that run and I think you do too. Even if other people get some even cooler days, any day with a dewpoint below 60 in July is a win in my book.

    Yeah, Dwayne Haskins has to be able to go full bore during training camp without having to worry about having a heatstroke so he can take that starting nod from Ben.

    It looks like it does even out in the long run while we sit under a dry, cool pattern and rain stays south. Maybe not a ton of rain but that would mean a lot of decent to magnificent days.
  12. TimB
    But PA steals a fair amount of rain from the Mid-Atlantic, which is never a bad thing.
  13. TimB
    Anyhow, toss. Not enough rain for Pillow with that solution.

    Looks a lot like the 12z GFS a week or so out.
  15. TimB
    Can confirm. Another downpour here, it’s been the theme this week.

    Elsewhere, Las Vegas has a shot at an all time record this weekend.
  17. TimB
    Yes. LOL

    @Bubbler86how ‘bout that death ridge on the 18z for the 100inistas?
  19. TimB
    Sounds like it’s training (thunderstorm) time.

    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.
  21. TimB
    Wait, you mean I can watch GFS runs on the big screen?
  22. TimB
    He and the namesake of Pillow are not actually related, just in case anyone thought that wasn’t a joke.
  23. TimB
    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.
  24. TimB
    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.
  25. TimB
    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.
