I think Short Pump shows up instead of Richmond for some reason on some NWS maps if I recall correctly as well. And it’s complete with some double entendres that they seem to really enjoy.
-
The very last day of the run looks great. The rest of it, well...
-
The beautiful trough is there on the GFS but it sits in the wrong location and doesn’t move.
-
This is an ugly model run. Even after the ridge moves east, we sit on the bad side of that boundary for days and days.
-
As long as the stuff from the Palouse doesn’t get us eventually.
-
We’ll see how progressive it is as it approaches the weekend, but so far it’s bringing the pain.
-
Also had a February wedding, but thankfully the high on my wedding day was 34. But the outdoor photos were COLD.
-
Our lows for 2/22-24 were all in the 50s. That month was our 13th consecutive month above normal (the streak got to 18 before August clocked in below normal).
-
Ah, looks like the February 2017 heat wave wasn’t as significant an event for you as it was for us.
-
Also the aforementioned 1/22/1906. Normals are currently 36/21. That day was 75/61.
-
The 59 ties for a record warm low for February and #2 for met winter, after 1/22/1906 (61). Also, there are days as late as 3/9 with record warm lows in the 40s at PIT and days as late as 4/4 with record warm lows in the 50s.
-
I would guess that 1/19/94 (high of -3 and low of -22) would be the only day that might qualify. I think the normals were somewhere around 33/18 at that point, so that looks like a -38 departure from those normals.
-
A footnote to that event: Pittsburgh recorded its warmest day ever in meteorological winter with a high of 78 on the 20th and a +37 temp departure (low of 59). Incredible.

Well the time may be now for me to invest in a weather station and start keeping a spreadsheet. I’d ask my wife to get me one for my birthday but I probably have to enable my own hobby.
-
Wait a minute, yinz keep spreadsheets? I’m doing this whole weather enthusiast thing all wrong.
-
Yeah agreed, it won’t happen at the airport tomorrow but maybe Sunday and Monday.
-
6z GFS was pretty torchy for me.
-
That’s a beauty. Won’t even clip the image out of the quote.
-
Oh my, that trough is fantastic.
-
It ain’t over yet, but it looks like it’s going to kick the ridge out a little faster than the previous run.
-
Indeed, it’s very eastern focused. I mean I get it, the only really populated place out west where it would be truly interesting to talk about weather would be Denver, but even there, the storms come interspersed among 300 sunny days a year.
-
I feel like models sometimes show things that aren’t plausible in reality (I’m thinking of a time that the GFS was showing 107 in an area of Florida relatively close to the coast during a SE ridge situation, and a time this past winter when the CMC was showing a low of 14 if I remember correctly for Phoenix). Is it possible that such effects can occur in the PNW? I can’t say I’ve spent any time analyzing how well the models do in that region of the country.
-
Haven’t had time to do much of the reading yet, but is it possible that his opinions on the matter are being taken out of context and molded to fit an agenda?
-
Keep that heat up in the Palouse, I don’t want it here.
