Pittsburgh PA Area Rest of fall and Winter 2019-2020 thread

I had come across this "what city will my town be like in the future with climate change" map awhile ago. It's a neat map to play around with, though I'm not sure how rigorous the science behind it is. But it's bleak for us if it comes true. According to the makers, we should expect future Pittsburgh to be like current Jonesboro, Arkansas, which receives a whopping 5" of snow annually.  Given this run of sad winters as of late, though, it feels like we could be in the South. Here's the link to the article I read with the map: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.wired.com/story/this-scary-map-shows-how-climate-change-will-transform-your-city/amp

We need the primary to die off fast and transfer or this is gonna be a quick changeover. Still a week out 

 

Unfortunately it has that classic CAD look, where longitude is our enemy. 

However like you said, it’s still a week away. 
Possibly the 850’s end up a few degrees colder, and the precip rates are heavier at the start. 
We’ll see.

No matter the outcome of next weekend it appears some legitimate winter weather may be on tap.

Odds probably favor the slop storm outcome next weekend that we have all come to know and love but it beats 70s right? Plenty of time though for things to change, if it was a modeled SW PA blizzard we all know it would change, question is does it change enough to affect sensible weather.

Next weekend is looking like the usual CAD where its 20 degrees out east and its 45 here. I don't expect much from that system. Hopefully we can cash in with the pattern change but I have my doubts. I'm at the point if we ever get a big storm again I'll stop tracking because it will be another 15 before we get anything noteworthy.

The trend is looking good for a quick thump and maybe it trends better but with that warm tongue I never get my Hope's up. 

I agree 100%. The front end thump hardly ever verifies. (Maybe in the 70's and 90's but not recently.) 

This mid week rain storm is looking stronger so this may impact the weekend storm one way or another.

Things are looking better however so we shall see.

Euro showing a pretty decent thump on saturday. This if of course before a change over to some mix and then all rain. Not sure it pans out, but its something to watch.

There seems like a consensus is forming among the big three of at least 1-3" on the front end.

Nothing great, but outside of a few rogue snow squalls, this would be the biggest event so far. Smh

It just doesn't want to snow this year. We can't even get a clipper that drops 1-3. Everytime a pattern or storm looks promising in the future it goes to shit fast. We usually have bad luck but it's on a whole other level this year. The storm after this looks like a coastal so I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.

Since we all know we are getting our usual dose of mix to rain on Saturday ......

I am still looking at Tomorrow, Thursday. NWS Pittsburgh is showing a 20% chance of slight snow showers tomorrow and tomorrow night.

I still think we are going to get some decent snow showers tomorrow and some areas may pick up an inch if they get under a nice band.

Who knows, it might actually be more snow than we get this weekend. :whistle:

Hi everybody,

I'm new here.  From Pittsburgh, all my life, and love weather.  I like my seasons to be what they are supposed to be, winter to be cold and snowy, spring, mild turning warm, and sunny, summer sunny and hot, and fall cool and sunny with snow chances towards the end.

I was on a different board, and grew very tired of the way they ran it and how they handled the way people felt about patterns.  I read through a few pages here and feel like the Pittsburghers have a place to vent.  There wasn't one over there, we were pretty much dismissed.

I'm not an expert by any means, so I try to learn, but I'm just glad that I will have a place to commiserate or celebrate with a larger group of people.

I honestly just don't think its gonna snow. We either get a crap pacific or a crap atlantic. Even now the MJO goes into phase 7 which isn't terrible but still warmish for January. We need this in phase 8,1,2. The storm after this one looks pretty identical to the saturday slop. Maybe we get lucky in February as the wavelengths start shortening. Idk every time the long range looks good it goes to shit as we get closer to the storm.
