Western PA/Pittsburgh Summer Discussion 2021
TimB replied to Ahoff's topic in Upstate New York/Pennsylvania
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.
-
But PA steals a fair amount of rain from the Mid-Atlantic, which is never a bad thing.
-
Anyhow, toss. Not enough rain for Pillow with that solution.
-
Looks a lot like the 12z GFS a week or so out.
-
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.
-
Yes. LOL
-
@Bubbler86how ‘bout that death ridge on the 18z for the 100inistas?
-
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.
-
Wait, you mean I can watch GFS runs on the big screen?
-
He and the namesake of Pillow are not actually related, just in case anyone thought that wasn’t a joke.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
There are definitely still concerns that linger in the back of my mind, but most are “what ifs” unless and until there comes a variant that is proven to get around the vaccines with any sort of efficiency, so I’ve chosen not to waste much of my mental energy thinking about it.
-
It’s a little west of the area where it snowed. I should probably be following the Delta thing closer than I actually am but I just haven’t prioritized covid on the list of issues I think about anymore.
-
Even if they don’t extend the restrictions on Americans past the 21st (but I think they will), that area probably isn’t reachable by 8am on the 22nd.
-
With apologies to Sauss and Voyager and Western PA’s leading summer poster and a certain orange tagger and a certain green tagger in an unnamed subforum, there may be light at the end of this tunnel.
-
Just kidding, the “entertainment purposes only” portion allows a massive Canadian trough to beat down the ridge and push 40s into PA.
-
Forgot we’re getting close to the date when climo starts working in our favor.
-
Ah, the ridge we knew was coming looks like it might finally make an appearance later on the GFS.
