Probably unlikely, but upper 80s that time of year are definitely possible. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS is slowly converging on that solution as well. My point and click are now 89/88 for Fri/Sat. Records for both days are 92 and might not be completely safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 If it reaches 90 or better tomorrow or Saturday, it would be the fifth earliest year to reach 90+ since records have been kept at KPIT (i.e., dating back to 1953 - records moved to KPIT in September 1952 when the airport opened). Note: Not necessarily fifth earliest reading, since some of the 4 years with earlier 90+ readings may have had more than one such reading (in fact, I know that's the case for 1962). Should it reach 91 or better, that would be the second earliest such reading. All of the other early 90 degree readings at KPIT were exactly 90 degrees. The only earlier 91+ reading at KPIT was May 18, 1962. Now, in the off chance it were to reach 92 or better, that would be the first time it's ever been that hot anytime in the month of May at the airport site. Currently, the hottest May reading at KPIT is 91, which was reached once in 1962, 1987, 2011, 2012 and 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the app shows 92 and 94 for downtown Pittsburgh, but only 88 and 91 at Moon Township. Both of which would fall shy of the records of 93 and 92 from the old Weather Bureau office.

Yesterday there was a period where the airport was forecast at 92 and 93. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Could see where tomorrow busts low depending on timing of rain and clouds. We won’t have that issue on Saturday, but at this juncture 90 tomorrow might be a struggle. Sunday is trending warmer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 For Thunderstorm lovers it looks like a decent chance of some elevated storms moving in after 2:00 am overnight. My favorite kind. Usually no severe but some decent lightning. Maybe if we get them it will help raise temps tomorrow over 90. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually in the cold sector ahead of a warm front, vs. a surface based warm sector storm that would bring damaging winds/tornadoes down to the surface more readily. Not sure about the getting temperatures warmer part - would it help pull the warm front through? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just know from my history of storms that when I see elevated thunderstorms in forecast discussions they are usually ahead of warm fronts moving from the southwest to northeast. Most times they seem to come overnight. I like them because they usually are not severe but can have a lot of lightning. I always enjoyed the overnight storm with the rain and the lightning. I don't know if it has anything to do with making it warmer. What I meant was that knowing the storms were coming ahead of the front and storms in the morning we can sometimes clear out in the afternoon and the temp will rise fast mainly from the front itself. Just an observation on my part. I am not a met. Just going from experience. https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/thunderstorm_stuff/elevated_convection/elevated_convection.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClimateChanger Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Given it’s currently 67, and it looks clouds and showers are going to be hanging tight for at least a few more hours, even 80 looks questionable despite the long days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
