First day with a high of 76 or less since June. I’m going to disagree with the feeling fall-like part. Dewpoints stayed in the 60s all day.
-
Currently in the 9th longest streak of 79+ degree days on record (37 days). If tomorrow gets there (could go either way) and Thursday gets there (pretty much a lock) it’ll move into 8th and be the longest such streak since 1991.
-
Yet again we’ve surged to 80 at PIT when it wasn’t forecast. It’s uncanny.
-
12z GFS now has cold for next week, lol. It never seems to get closer than 7-8 days or so.
-
GFS is toying with the idea of some big late-summer heat next week. A long way to go, but upper 90s or higher seem to be showing up nearly every run. I guess it depends on how far east the ridge comes. The Euro and the ensembles have more garden variety heat as the ridge sits a bit west.
-
Lol
-
As much as we’ve talked about how hard it is to get to 90 around here when it’s forecast, it seems to be equally easy to get to 80 when it isn’t forecast to get there. Did it again today.
-
Just a boring garden variety typical summer day.
-
What’s confusing to me is they keep continuing the heat advisory for us even though the threat of 100+ heat indices has passed. They’ve trimmed off the western counties but really they should just scrap it altogether.
-
Heat advisory criteria doesn’t seem to have verified at any airport observation site in the entire NWS Pittsburgh area.
-
90 has been reached at PIT.
-
Did they ever let you back on Reddit?
-
Whether we hit 90 today or not, it’s very likely that would be our only 90 for the month. We had none in July 2021 and only one in July 2022. The last (and only) time we had 1 or fewer 90 degree days for at least three Julys in a row was from 1958-1962.
-
You don’t think we can warm to 90 in the clearing after these rogue clouds and showers move out but before that larger batch arrives from Ohio? Only need 7 or 8 more degrees.
-
Imagine that
-
NWS still says we’re on track to get into the 90s once the fog burns off. Helps already being at 77.
-
Yeah here we are, 88 at PIT and 84 at AGC. Hope we get a no doubter 90 tomorrow so the record isn’t tarnished either way whether PIT gets to 90 today or not.
-
The 75 is definitely wrong. There is no PWS anywhere in the county that’s even below 80 at the moment. Most near the airport are in the low 80s. AGC is 83. Regardless, 90 wasn’t happening either way.
-
There’s something weird with the observations. Jumped from 75 to 81 in 5 minutes earlier, then dropped in the same amount of time a little over an hour later. I trust the low 80s as accurate and the 75s seem to be an error.
-
Yes, was 97 the afternoon of the day it was 85 at 3am. It was 95 the afternoon before.
-
The record for that hour is 85 on 6/29/12. Of course, that was following a day that got to 95. Yesterday only got to 88. The official low in the climate record for that date is 66, but that occurred at 11:59pm. That morning bottomed out at 80.
-
It was still 82 with a heat index of 85 at PIT at 3:15 this morning, but alas, a thunderstorm dashed our chances at a record warm min.
-
Yeah, pretty dependent on what happens with the dying MCS coming out of the Midwest tonight.
-
Tomorrow’s record warm min is within reach. Record is 74.
-
That said, it’ll be interesting to see if PIT can get to 95. The only 95 in the past 11 years is suspect, as it was recorded in that period in September 2018 when the sensor was running high (AGC topped out at 92 on the same date). Throw that out and it’s the longest streak without hitting 95 in the entire period of record.
