  1. You may hate the cold, but you’re witnessing history. We would have had to top out at 44 at PIT to set that particular type of record, which was of course never in the cards, but I’m happy someone in my home state got to experience history. And the 51 at PIT is the coldest high temperature on this date or later since 1956.
  2. More importantly, if the high of 52 at MDT holds, it will be the latest day on record with a high of 52 or lower. We hit 51 so far at PIT, which won’t set any of that sort of record, though it’s a daily record.
  3. Because you’ve pointed this out more times than your heart beats per minute, which admittedly isn’t very many, but still.
  4. Yeah, but do you hear about overweight people under 40 dying from the flu all the time?
  5. If we set a record today, sign me up! Edit: 51 through 5pm, we should break the record of 54. Coldest highs on or after 5/29: 5/31/1910 (45) 6/1/1910 (47) 6/2/1956 (50) 6/3/1956 (51) 6/4/1945 (51) 5/29/2021 (51) So it’s really only happened in 3 other years and only once at KPIT.
  6. With that being said, if it’s going to happen it’s going to happen whether we root for it or not.
  7. With apologies to @Itstrainingtime, it would be easier for me to root for a weather pattern that would help me but cause his vacation to be rainy (not that I am, since my weather here doesn’t directly affect what goes on in the Outer Banks) than it is to root for something that would give me the cooler weather I want while displacing hundreds of thousands of people, including children, in one of the poorest countries of the world.
  8. Who knows? We can dream, can’t we?
  9. Sure would be, we just need a major volcanic eruption to completely disrupt our weather patterns.
  10. Indeed, it wouldn’t be summer without 90 degree temperatures being around on a regular basis. Except for 2004, where the temperature never even got to 88 at Pittsburgh, which is incredible every time it pops into my mind.
  11. Indeed it does. But in all honesty, it does seem to do better than most with pattern changes. That’s why I’m worried about all these 90s in later portions of most runs.
  12. Just curious, what model last Friday wasn’t showing 80s-90s for PA on D8-9? On second thought, you could cherry pick a day from just about any GFS run at any time of the year and find temps 20-30 degrees below normal.
  13. @paweatherwe wouldn’t have even had to go all the way to North Dakota to see snow, it sounds like parts of Michigan saw flakes and parts of central/western Wisconsin had minor accumulations on grassy surfaces.
  14. Yeah, Mississippi and Alabama are so desirable. Everyone I know wants to live there. /s
  15. Just a perfect day. They just don’t make ‘em like this too often. Hope we get a few of these in July and August.
  16. It looks doable, and the 12z runs of virtually every model trend the low further south, which might help eliminate that pesky midnight high temperature issue. I’m not ruling it out for Pittsburgh either, the current low max is 54, which is the softest low max of May.
  17. The only silver lining here is if we happen to witness something historic, which still isn’t out of the question.
  18. True. But some good strong to low-end severe thunderstorms are always enjoyable.
  19. Failing to reach 50 would shatter daily records, I think they’re in the upper 50s both Sat/Sun.
  20. ARX forecast discussion mentions 1947.
  21. A degree or two could be enough to make the difference. But correct me if I’m wrong, doesn’t the official daily data actually run from 1am-1am during Daylight Savings Time? That would help some if it’s true.
  22. I have a feeling this phenomenon will screw both PIT and MDT on Saturday. (Midnight high temp)
