    DUJ started reporting again, just in time to hit 91.

    Continuing to run 3-4 degrees ahead of yesterday. Maybe 90 is within reach?

    Interestingly, PIT topped out at just 87 on that 6/8/1968 day you reference. That’s also the year it took us the longest to get our first 80 of the year, on June 5th.

    Calm winds now, aren’t they saying the winds should pick up a little out of the northeast? That could actually help us a little in this scenario.

    Hard to say. Seems like dewpoints are forecast to be a little higher than when I looked yesterday (50s instead of 40s), so that probably hurts us a little. Still, the 9:00 hourly obs was 68 vs. 65 at the same time yesterday. Just feels like the kind of day where you’re going to get 89’d.

    The only way you’ll really ever get the Flagstaff climate is to move there. Aside from that, good luck.

    Just looked at the stats for PIT and we have had exactly two hourly observations with a dewpoint of 60+ in 2023: 9pm on April 5th (61) and 3pm on May 13th (60). That’s it.

    I know you’ll enjoy hearing that Burlington, VT has hit 95.

    2020 did not. That was a cold airmass. Doesn’t look like any of the others featured a high above 75. Most of them had lows in the mid 30s to low 40s.

    Today could be the best diurnal range of this stretch at PIT. Low this morning was 51.

    Trying to decide if I had the choice between another 384 hours with no rain or some rain but probably higher dewpoints, which one I’d take. I think probably the dry one, but the implications might be a little worrisome.

    Underperforming on high temps this week at PIT. Something to watch on these hot days coming up.

    Here it is in all its glory:

    GFS is also wet. 0z had nearly 3” of rain through 240.
  15. TimB
    Definitely something to watch. The cool period next week has completely disappeared from the Euro. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out.
  16. TimB
    I’ll add that the period from 1995-2012 is the longest Pittsburgh has ever gone without reaching 97 or higher. And now we’re already up to 11 years again.

    Our first GFS clown range triple digits of the season appeared this morning.

    With my city entering its sports dark ages, Boston not winning championships is all I’ve got.

    I often find myself wondering “how common or rare is it to be this warm or cold or wet or dry or snowy or snowless” and that place usually has the tools I need to answer that question.

    https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org This is the site I play around with to get that kind of data. Fairly straightforward to use once you get the hang of it.

    Record is 26 days in Oct-Nov 1874, followed by 25 days in Aug-Sept 1995. There are about 70 dry spells of 14+ days on record, most of them occurring in the fall. Now if we’re talking spring dry spells, that 14 day dry spell in May 2021 was actually the longest spring dry spell in almost 80 years.
  22. TimB
    All 92+ in May were recorded 1942 or prior. There are a number of such temps at prior observing sites, including a monthly record of 95 that was reached as early as 5/2/1887.
  23. TimB
    If 92 is reached on Thursday, it’ll be the earliest at PIT.

    That’s the other thing. Actual extreme heat in western vs. central PA looks different. 97 and above isn’t uncommon at MDT, and in fact recently seems to occur in as many summers as it doesn’t. PIT has only reached 97 in one summer (2012) since 1995.
  25. TimB
    That was two whole years with no 90s or even 89s. Probably impossible now, though I would have also thought it impossible then.
