    Indeed, mine is certainly is cool with me having hobbies and interests, I don’t want to convey the impression that it’s an unhealthy marriage where I’m not allowed to have hobbies. But at the end of the day, if there’s an unspoken limit on how much I can spend on said hobbies, I’m going to defer to her. But yeah, she couldn’t care less about weather (beyond the mundane things like “can we walk the dog at lunchtime” or “will it rain today?”) or my spending copious amounts of time looking at model runs and posting on weather forums. Will do, thank you for the advice. My idea is more or less spend a small amount with the initial investment then if I decide I want something fancy 2 or 5 or 10 years from now, I can re-evaluate.

    My wife would divorce me if I spent a bunch of money on a weather station, so I’m shopping on a budget. LOL.

    PBZ’s discussion says there’s a cap but as the front slides closer that will erode the cap and trigger storms. They’re focusing on the area just south of I-80, so it sounds like the better chance of thunderstorms, some severe, would be north. I’m thinking disorganized for sure, might not be a QLCS (squall line) like the last event. I don’t know, I’m hardly an expert. Just kinda taught myself what some of these terms mean after living in the Midwest for 7 years.

    So you’d recommend for someone in the market for a weather station?

    Slight risk was expanded SW on the 13z SPC update to include most of PBZ forecast area. From SPC discussion: “Tropospheric flow fields will be progressively weaker with west-southwest extent across the region, yielding a transition from multicells to pulse modes. Nevertheless, moderate buoyancy is expected south of ongoing convection. With scattered to widespread thunderstorm coverage, damaging winds due to wet microbursts are anticipated this afternoon. The transition from weakly organized to disorganized activity should occur in the Upper OH Valley vicinity.”

    0:1. BUT, we’re less than 16 weeks away from the date that we know measurable snow can fall in these parts. Looks like the last measurable snow at MDT was 128 days ago. And 128 days from now would put us at Nov. 5. It’s at least possible (maybe not likely yet) that you’re past the halfway point. But not me. My last measurable snow was 70 days ago, and I don’t think I’ll be seeing any on 9/8.

    I believe your post itself shows it as being in Washington. The specific locations (Ardenvoir and Peshastin) appear to be located in central Washington near Wenatchee.

    A fair number of people who follow NWS Pittsburgh on Facebook seem to enjoy this. The trick is to sink tens of thousands of dollars into a pool in your backyard, I think.

    But isn’t Chelan County in Washington? Even so, 119 would still be a state record.

    Wait, there are no holds barred weather forums where people don’t give a rat’s *** about their fellow weather enthusiasts?

    Looks like Hermiston broke the real record of 117 but not the probably fake record of 119. Richland, WA got to at least 118.

    Was a good breeze imby. Very well defined on the radar.

    Or that places in Oregon, Washington, and Canada can get hotter than Las Vegas has ever gotten. You think the models are crazy until they verify. What’s Madison’s record? 107 or 108 if I remember correctly. That was Portland’s until this heat wave and now their record is 116. This event out west has totally changed my view on what is possible just about anywhere.
  14. TimB
    Pendleton and Hermiston, Oregon are both up to 117. This discussion about 117 vs. 119 could be moot soon.

    Depends on how much legitimacy we’re attaching to MDT’s lows. Also depends on whether or not a rogue pop-up storm drops the temp to below 79 sometime before midnight, because I don’t see any way that happens without one.
  16. TimB
    Not sure if this has been mentioned, but MDT’s low of 79 this morning ties a record warmest for June. 4 of the top 10 have occurred this June.

    I almost forgot about the last holiday weekend we had. Too soon? I’ll defer to @Voyagerand @sauss06and let them have a victory if Monday proves to be hot.

    Euro sure knows how to ruin a good time.

    Lived in central WI at the time, so I only have “fond” memories of the days that followed this event. Closest thing to hell I’ve ever had the “pleasure” of experiencing, and I’ve lived in Arizona.

    hopefully they have a different person keeping the records today than they did in 1898. He may be long gone, but his legacy still stands in the form of a record that is possibly not legitimate.

    Another 90 is official now.
  22. TimB
    Thank you. I understand that it is extremely hard to get records from the 1800s and early 1900s stricken from the record books, even if there is solid evidence they’re flawed. I would guess that deniers would have a fit if such revisions were made regularly. The 134 at Death Valley is another example of this.
  23. TimB
    There’s your answer. KPIT was at 88 at 12:51pm, so the accuracy of the iOS weather app is questionable (as we probably already suspected), though I will say it does one of those Fahrenheit to Celsius to Fahrenheit things where 89 displays as 90.
  24. TimB
    I mean we can’t have it all, but 90s most weeks of the summer, no matter how cool it gets in between, can get exhausting.

    Monday looks warm now. 91 at MDT.
