    If this morning’s low of 63 at PIT holds, which is pretty likely, it’ll be the 2nd latest date in a calendar year with a low of 63 or higher (11/1/1929, 65).

    39 years on this earth and the only true moment of joy I’ve experienced as a baseball fan was the 2013 wild card game where Johnny Cueto dropped the ball and Russell Martin proceeded to blast a home run on the next pitch.

    I can assure you that any Phillies fan crying today looks ridiculous to every Pirates fan on earth.

    Time is in UTC for whatever reason. No idea why.

    PIT: AGC: Not sure I’ve ever seen that much of a difference.
  7. TimB
    Looks like AGC managed a freeze on the hourly obs. PIT is going to come up just short at 33, it appears.
  8. TimB
    Well looks like we got there and then some, before midnight even so yesterday’s low was 37 and looks like today’s will go into the books as 33 or 34.

    Uh oh. 30s aren’t a slam dunk. Our quest for the first October ever without 30s is still alive.
  10. TimB
    We should be able to seal the deal on our 8th above normal month so far in 2023, against the highest normals of all time. Sitting at +3 with 12 days to go, mostly normal to above. Only May and June have been below normal.
  11. TimB
    GFS really gives us one shot at 30s next week. It’s far from guaranteed.
  12. TimB
    Finally cleared out and got to 41 at PIT. Coldest morning of the season officially and one day short of the record for latest first lower 40s (1882).
  13. TimB
    Then I guess we’ll also stop keeping track of 90 degree days, since that’s as relevant as 39.
  14. TimB
    Is “first 30s” really any more obscure of a record than first freeze, which is a common weather statistic?
  15. TimB
    Pretty damning to see that we’re deep into October and DuBois has yet to see 30s.
  16. TimB
    Admittedly some of it is a bit cherry picked, but things like reaching the lower 40s later than any other year on record are a little more concrete. I do think we see 30s next week before that massive ridge comes in.
  17. TimB
    I hope not. If we get another one like last winter, brace yourself.
  18. TimB
    Our quest to be the first October in history that doesn’t get into the 30s looks to continue. The cool period after the upcoming warmup looks rainy and therefore warm at night, followed by another warmup. Outside shot at lows in the 30s early next week, but we all know for PIT to get to 39 the forecast is going to have to be 35 or 36.
  19. TimB
    PIT surged to 58 today despite a forecast of like 53. It’s really every day now.
  20. TimB
    We’re still north of the warm front but yeah, we’d already be mixing way before the change to plain rain. Low is progged to track near or ever so slightly south of us, so this track would be the usual misery in winter.

    Years where PIT (at its current location, since 1952) didn’t reach the 30s on or before 10/9: 1955 1976 2010 2013 2015 2016 2018 2019 2021 2023 So twice in the first 58 years of observations there and 8 out of the last 14. Not likely to get there over the next 10 days either. Could we make it to November before our first 39?
  22. TimB
    And here we are with PIT somehow into the 70s when mid 60s were forecast.
  23. TimB
    But AGC got to 43. It’s getting harder to trust the PIT temps.
  24. TimB
    Clouds I would guess. Upper 40s are pretty common across the area at the moment.
  25. TimB
    And yet the official low that’s going into the record books is 44. That’s a travesty. Two degrees below normal on a “cold” morning.
