TimB

I decided my beef with the winter average for PBZ wasn’t worth it, since 2/3 of the winter occurred in 2021 and should be compared to the new normals, so we had a below normal temperature winter.

Side note: I hate when a chance at a record cold max gets derailed by crap like that (not that this was probably the case at MDT yesterday), but I don’t mind when a chance at a record warm min gets derailed by a late day cold front.

Maybe the highs will come in at -0.3 and the lows at +0.2, but by some sort of rounding magic the average will come out to +0.1.

Severe weather tomorrow?

Has MDT sealed the deal on an above normal May yet?

VAERS is open to any member of the public for submissions, according to what I’ve read. That would imply to me that someone with an agenda could stretch the truth or outright lie.

Are you making the thread for the late week northern MN/WI/MI snow potential?

14 miles as the crow flies. I’m a similar distance in a different direction from Allegheny County Airport, which has recorded 0.05” today.

Sure enough, MDT has now recorded 6.5x as much rain as PIT today, despite the inch and a half I received.

I figured it would rain everywhere today except where Cowboy fans live. Proves that theory wrong.

8”, even in Wisconsin, is a WSW in most cases. Can confirm, I’ve also lived there. (But probably not on 5/27 when that kind of accumulation couldn’t occur on roadways under any condition.)

8+ inches Kuchera in NE WI?!

And weather station data seems to back that up. Most locations in my part of the county are over an inch, most locations near the airport (14 miles away as the crow flies) are at no more than a few hundredths.

And yes, the total so far at KPIT as of their last hourly observation was 0.02”.

Oh God, could MDT out-rain PIT today? A solid inch and a half imby and 0.02” at the airport.

I second that. Dewpoints are already into the upper 60s at PIT and AGC, where it hasn’t rained much yet. Still raining imby.

Looks like the airport received 0.02” from that storm (I’m certain I got much more than that in the north hills), so no matter what happens the rest of the day the streak is officially over at 14 days without measurable precip.

Finally heard thunder!

Going to be a race to see if that batch makes it here in time to prevent us from officially reaching 2 weeks without measurable rain. Edit: it didn’t.

NWS still doesn’t fully believe the hype and still keeps us in the low 70s during that period (albeit with rain, but maybe not a washout). But if this relative consensus among the models holds, we know forecasting 70 with a chance of rain is just the NWS forecasting conservatively and that’ll get revised downward.

I agree that the timing of cold, rainy weather this month has left much to be desired. And I’m not even sure we’ll make 60 every day next weekend. GFS and Euro have 47 and 53 at 18z Friday, Euro and CMC have 58 and 55 at 18z Saturday, and CMC has 48 at 18z Sunday. The good news for you (and frankly me, as I’d be happier with 70 than either 50 or 90) is that the GFS, which predicted this pattern shift first, gets us back to 70 Sunday afternoon with much more fleeting unseasonable cold. (Also, PIT officially got to 87 so far today)

Finally reached that elusive 86 degree mark. Ironic, because I can’t wait until this heat is 86ed later this week.

Not dismissing, just saying I find it highly unlikely that all 1348 cases of paralysis and 14 deaths on that site were actually caused by the vaccine (but some probably were).

I think WSW criteria is 12 in the mountains. Lived in NWS Flagstaff, AZ area for a few years and I believe that was the case.

GFS is going to win the late week battle too, it appears.
